Rough sketches #1 スケッチの色々[ENG/JP]

My secret treasure stack. 

宝物のスケッチの山

Sometimes I feel frustrated because of a sudden lack of ideas. 

いいアイディアが浮かばなくて、困ることがあります。

Looks kind of like this:

That's when I start looking for the rough sketches and under drawings. These usually give me some energy to try either something old or give me a hint to make something new.

そういう時に昔のスケッチブックたちを掘り出します。

ほとんどバラバラですが。。。タイムスリップしたように昔の自分あるいは数日前の自分と出会うのです。「前の自分にだけは負けたくない」とエネルギーが湧くと。。。

昔に描きたかった、でも描けなかったアイディアに挑戦したり、何かヒントをもらったりします。

When I have enough time and I'm not lazy ;) I try to copy each of them or trace before inking. Quite often I would give the finished illustrations away to friends. 

時間がある時は必ずスケッチとトレースをします。怠けて、ストレートにペン入れすることもありますが、失敗することもあります(**;)。またできたイラストをよく友人に送ったりしますので、スケッチが残るとペン入れにいつも挑戦できます。

The rough sketch then works as a blueprint and I can trace and ink it again. 

But still no two inked drawings would be exactly the same :)   

もう一回ペン入りしても、全く同じものになりますんが f^^;

What do you do when no interesting ideas come to mind?

Your work is breathtaking! Please keep posting your work, you have a new follower with me. ❤️

thank you for the kind encouragement :)

When I took an art class growing up, the instructor had us do a bunch of quick, rough sketches at the beginning to warm up. We weren't supposed to care how they looked, just getting something out.

You had a wonderful teacher! I do tiny sketches like those, but they are too tiny to post here :)

When I run out of ideas, I change my schedule. Other times, I try to find something new (tv show, scenery) or look back at old things I haven't touched in a while (websites / games). You might find something appealing in it that you didn't notice before.

thank you for reading! that's very true :) sometimes i would rewatch an old tv show, or look for a movie i heard about but didn't manage to see yet too.

Yeah, it's a good way to get a new perspective - it's not only new things that can give you ideas, after all. Especially for art - there's always a new way to use things you're already using, like paints or markers, or even pens!

Your sketches are really good @fukako! They look very artistic. Keep at it :D

thank you for support @isteemit :) i'll try to keep making more!

Good post, would you happen to see mine? I know you'll like it

thank you :) I will!

I really like your work and talent in you :D
