Currently sitting in Gothenburg, a couple of hours from my hometown. I'm looking after a friend's cats while she and her hubby is in Greece. I feel so small in this huge apartment, haha, thankfully the cats remind me I'm not alone. This freedom I feel now, however, I have to say, is something spectacular. I really need to move here. While I'm here I'm going to meet some old friends and visit the town, just stroll around and take in the sights etc. And of course use the sweet-ass projector they happen to have rigged in the living room. Did someone say Bloodborne? :D Feeling good.

So, how do you chiefly draw inspiration for drawing? Is it something that comes from your internal imagination, or something you chiefly gain by observation of external objects/pictures etc? Or is it a combination, a process of observation, reflection, digestion and regurgitation, so to speak? I've found I'm very bound by my own imagination. I have a very hard time planning a picture beforehand. Sometimes this is good, in a sense, since my natural sense of flow just gets to go wherever it pleases, but it does hamper my ability to finish and work on a more thought out composition. It's a very hit-and-miss kind of tactic, in general. Do you ha
