So I finally manage to finish this drawing and with also find a renewed vigour to work with every spare moment I can find.
Although not one of my favourite drawings as it was so labour intensive it became a personal goal to finish this piece. Through the monotony of extended repetitive mark making – which in itself is not hugely inventive I found the creativity positively fizzing around within my head; further ideas, the notions that were driving this piece forward, how the ideas had mutated, developed and just how the drawing had changed throughout its creation.
One thing that I have been reminded about is there is no substitute for getting stuck in and working single mindedly.
Follow your artistic convictions.
