I always require a pinch of patience when drawing. There is a certain point where I heave a sigh, and there is "work" to be done. This usually arrives around the midway point. When the inertia sets in and distractions start to appear, its time for a little break, and then return refreshed.
Bit by bit, step by step, everything in moderation, Roman wasn't built in a day, but I certainly try to finish a drawing in a day. =)
You know, the funny thing is, many people think working as an artist is just play all day. Well, the truth is, even art has its chores. So like any other task, streamlining the process helps get you through the difficult bits. Ever since I introduced more discipline into my studio practice, my productivity went up.
I'm slowly developing an appreciation for the studio chores. The reward is the sense of order and preparedness to start again with the creative process the next day. Removing all impediments to starting your creative work, is a huge help if you are face with creative blocks.
Out of the order comes the chaos, and from the chaos we return to the order, an ongoing roller coaster of creativity.
I'm enjoying my ride. =)
