Getting back to Illustration

Nothing too interesting here just a little illustration thing I did. Getting back to illustration after a long lay off due to an injury. Just looking at what I have produced and how I made it to sharpen up a bit.

I am really looking forward to getting back into creating art. I have had an arm injury for nearly a year that has limited use of my right arm. I have been rehabilitating using weights and stretches and it's getting back to 100% finally. I have so many ideas that I want to get out onto paper and look to do so in the very near future. Doing photography and illustration together is when I'm always at my most creative, doing two or more artistic mediums in my opinion really pushes your abilities in each. You get ideas from one medium that you can use in the other and it just continues. Anyway I can't wait to get back to creating these weird illustrations and paintings, I also hope to do some collaborative projects with other artists in the future. Why don't you try and take up a second creative outlet and see if it helps you in your main medium. The way it works I think is that you are still doing something creative so your brain is still thinking in the same way but just not about your normal activity which allows ideas to just pop into your head that you could never think of from trying to force it.
