I got a surface tablet because the hard ware is cool - but I got it under the guise of doing more art. Whenever I sit down to draw I realize I'm kind of embarrassed. I think I just need to get over it because I need to do something creative or I'm going to continue my slow transformation into a human lump.

Work is also a bit of a roller coaster - the good news is we got a cool new tool, the bad news is I'm the only one excited about it. The same thing happened with training, so I guess I'll do the same thing - build the whole system and sell the shit out of it.

I think I should start my own company and turn my work ethic into real money. We're talking about starting a family and I don't know if I want to forever be someone else's worker.

It might be an idea to focus on details and drawing challenges until you're more comfortable with the tablet and with your skill level. Like, instead of drawing people, maybe focus on drawing eyes or anatomy or hair for a while?

yeah, I need to try still lifes. Living objects are so difficult and I need to be ok setting a lower bar for myself.
