I have noticed that my favourite and (in my opinion) best executed illustrations happen when I'm avoiding doing something else that is probably more important. Is this the case for other artists and creatives? I usually get a craving to draw and it just seems to happen. I'm not the sort of person to endlessly rehearse a drawing. I don't normally "practice" as such... If I'm in the right mood I can do an anatomical drawing of a skull in roughly an hour and a botanical drawing of one sole flower in less than 15 minutes. I'm a very fast drawer and with the majority of my ink drawings I don't sketch it out first I just dive straight in with indian ink.
I've never thought of my process as abnormal until I went to study illustration at university. Everybody seemed to keep endless reels of sketchbooks and layout plans and practises. At college I was taught to draw the basic outline of a person in under five minutes with no errors. My life drawing tutor was incredibly strict... Maybe that's why I'm an abnormal artist.

First ever giveaway.
Firstly, hello all! Long time no see huh?

I'll choose a couple of winners at random next week, so... Good luck to you all!
Busy Bee
I've been dreadful at replying recently, I've been really busy working at my two jobs... So I guess it's understandable why I've not been on deviant art much huh?
I'd like to do a mass thankyou to all of the people who have added me to their watch, favourited and commented on my work. I'm going to gradually get through it all, it might just take me a while!
Once I get adjusted to working so much I'm sure it'll become easier to juggle all of these things, but I've just been so exhausted and busy over the last few weeks.
Thanks again to you all!!
All my best,
Nicola

I'm exactly the same way.
I'm terrible at requests, art is an escape for me. So, when I feel obligated to create something, I lose all enthusiasm. But, when I am avoiding something, is when the real passion sets in.
