After watching the trailer for Rogue One, I felt inspired to put some characters I've been developing into a Star Wars scene. I took progress shots as I went to hopefully show a little bit of the process.

“If you’re working on something important, then you’ll never feel ready. A side effect of doing challenging work is that you’re pulled by excitement and pushed by confusion at the same time.”  -James Clear

Sometimes when you're caught in a bit of a drawing or writing rut you can't help but go over and over things in your head. I was reading a post  on one of my favourite non drawing blogs, a fantastic blog on the process of innovation, and I came across this quote, "...build a bias towards action, not thinking" When you feel stuck it helps to get the pen moving, just get started on something anything. If you have new ideas, try the new ideas. Be ready for failure too, that's ok, but don't be scared to just jump straight in and try out some new things. This is one of the many reasons I think sketchbook practice is important, it helps you get out of your head and act on ideas, and you never even have to show anyone if you don't want. In short, if you ever get stuck, just keep on moving.

It's been a weird year for me personally but luckily I have been able to continue my drawing practice. Two major achievements this year for me, were the release of two new comics George Bloop This was a comic I started in 2013, but never completed. I resolved to not only finish it but add extra pages and expand the story. While it was not technically my first piece of writing fiction, it did feel like my first attempt at a longer story, coming in at just under 20 pages. Imagined Mysteries : A Tribute to Leonard Nimoy I felt inspired to write this after hearing about the passing of Nimoy. Being a Star Trek fan from my early teens I felt I had something to say about Nimoy's portrayal of Spock and our current political climate.
