A for JB

Boy, am I struggling.
There is an icepack wrapped in a teatowel under my laptop to prevent it from overheating.
Pro poverty tips to overcoming your lagbeast of a laptop that frequently overheats.

Last night I came up witha drawing challenge for myself.
I've forgotten so much of how to draw and what my style is about that I've realised I need to start from the beginning again. The first time I really wanted to push myself and get better at drawing was when I was in either Year 9 or 10, when I would frequent a Teen Titans oekaki. I drew the most basic, boring pictures. Looking back I can say that, but at the time, man I was so proud of the shit I popped out. I would only draw one style repeatedly; just lines and basic colouring all in oekaki pixel.
I doubt I can produce that basic level of oekaki drawing now, because I can see the flaws as I draw, unlike when I was starting out like then.
So. my drawing task is to develop the Batucada which I started in 2010 and get it polished. Also to develop an anthro character. If the Batucada gets released to SBP (if it comes back) I feel like it would need some support by introducing a Batucada NPC. So far the story I'm giving this NPC might result in two NPCs being developed, but I need to take this on one step at a time.
Work on the Batucada, work on the NPC, and then maybe the second.

I want my groove back. My art mojo. I definitely have the mojo this time, but the groove is missing.
