Hard to be interestng online as an artist when all you have been doing lately is writing.

I love being a an animator, and an artist.  I love the physicality of drawing, painting and doing what I do best, making the visual come to life.  But there are times when pre-production has to take precedence and writing is a huge and necessary part of it.  I tell many of my students to concentrate on writing and continue to work at it.

For me, writing can both clarify and even create the visual.  It can give you a direct and valid direction and it helps you avoid trying to jerry-rig a concept to make your character work.  It is like drawing to painting or sculpture, you cannot create a a great painting or sculpture without the ability to draw it.  Drawing allows you to try your idea, twist your idea in a variety of poses and shapes and so does writing to concept.

So for now, I will keep writing, and getting things right before venturing into the visual realm.
