Although I haven't posted a new sketch for three days, I do have a good reason. I can honestly tell you that I have been working on this digital painting for at least several hours a day.
I am at a very high level of frustration with this piece. For the amount of time that I have put into it, it should be done by now. It's just a nude with some clothwork and a prop. Why is it such a struggle?
The real aggravating thing is that this may be the closest I have come to a portfolio piece for my digital illustration work. Although the finish line is so far away, it's also so very close...
Gonna be teaching for the next two days, so maybe if I do dome cartoon sketches of some unruly middle school students, it'll get me over this hurdle.
Because I will finish this!

Working on it in small chunks of time is a very good way to not get stuck. Each day you come back to it you'll see it a bit differently and maybe figure out how to make it look like it does in your mind.
Also if you work on one or two more pieces simultaniously, you can switch between them whenever one starts to slow down. Plus, you might figure out a trick on one that you'd like to use on the others.
Nothing you don't already know, but there are ways to work when you're busy so that your attention do detail doesn't suffer.
