no i think youve brought up something that would resonate with many artists; my situation isnt exactly the same yet it definitely felt like that for me

I think i feel a similar thing. i cant put pen to paper anymore even when i have an idea. i have only drawn to completion to provide refs for commissions this year. there were many false starts but i lose steam quickly. but i wont give up

the blue rubber on this is better than the average
the pencil itself became sticky after a while though unfortuately

BIC plastic mechanical pencil
they have so many colours

Like the last one this also is for reference to a commission
