Just completed a draft sketch of my feline witch characters and it made the gears start turning again for my story.
I did what is called a 'gesture drawing' and it's when the artist draws a person or people quickly but in a dynamic way.
I started saving my art references not just in Google but as screenshots on my phone so, in case the internet is down, I can have easier access.
Drawing, sketching, drafting calms me but also makes me closer to my characters. Once I have a visual on them, questions occur, personalities start to become real, and I learn new things about them.
