Description Don'tcha hate it when you have an idea but than a random stomach bug makes you not feel like doing it for four days?
Anyways, this isn't the idea I had so that's irrelevant

I'm not too pleased with he execution of this but I think the idea is a good one. This is (hopefully) for the Lit Me Baby contest. Everyone is doing these things about creativity and books and things so I decided to do one about Writer's Block. Hate it or despise it, it's something a lot of writers get.

Problem is it's hard to show a lack of creative ideas so I've got him drumming his fingers (hopefully it looks like that and not a worm) and staring at a page with one line of text written. I was gonna add a pen but it looked rubbish. The expression could be better and the shading could be better, I was trying to try something slightly new, but soon I'm gonna be without internet indefinitely so wanted to get this up now.

Suggestions for better getting the idea across welcomed

(EDITED: Darkened the paper AGAIN cos it was still nigh on invisible, I think this looks better. If you don't then oh well.)

I dont see that one line on the paper, but I think this empty paper looks better ^_^ also, good paper colour.. and the hand was just fine, untill I read it could also be a worm too

Yeah, the line was visible on the first one but the paper wasn't and I just couldn't be bothered to darken the line along with the paper, so I'm glad that it looks good without it ^^

Thank you

The irony of it all!!

I'm gonna have to fave this purely based off the simple, yet brilliant animation of the non-existant fingers drumming on the desk!

Well done mate!

Thank you! It took me a while to get it right, my first attempt looked.. well I can't remember what it looked like but it didn't look like finger drumming that's for sure!

maybe stopped the drumroll he do with his fingers and started it again, give him some expression in his face that he think about something, and then the anoying face again with this drumroll, overall super good idea, i really like this.
