Description For those of you who don't know, Glostik has been a character of mine for a long, long time... longer than any of my other characters.

He wasn't created to part of the whole "sparkledog" phenomenon. He's brightly coloured and weird because he's just a visual representation of happiness for me. Drawing him used to make me happy, hence all of the colours. Although occasionally I did draw him in less happy situations, which were indicative of my mood at the time.

This is a kind of reference for him, I guess, because although I hardly draw him now - I don't much do the "wolf scene" thing - I still have a soft spot for him.

Aw I'd never forget about him! He was a big part of my artistic development. I always love drawing him, just don't draw wolves oft enough nowadays!

Gotta do/draw whatever takes your fancy else it just wont have as much spark as something forced. Or that's how I view it anyways

True that! I can't force myself to draw things, I get so frustrated and just turn out garbage. Thankfully I love what I do... makes it a bit easier.

I want to draw Mytola and Glo together one of these days, they have, after all, been friends for many many years.

I've kinda reached a point where I feel awkward about anything I draw, that it's just not good enough and I mean good enough by my own standard, however I think I am subconsciously comparing myself to others, which in itself is a stupid and pointless exercise in self-doubt.

There was a great "stages of artistic development" type drawing that somebody had submitted that I came across a while back, it listed the cycle in which all artists go through before accepting their own skill/style. Half my problem is procrastination, I *want* to do these things but end up pushing them aside for other things

A drawing of Glo and 'Tola would be awesome and yes, many good years <3

It is pointless, only because the only way that I feel it works is if you do it for love, you know? You are most certainly good enough! I remember your art, I always loved it.

Someday you'll break through the procrastination. When you're ready it will just happen. I get weird urges to draw, and sometimes I feel utterly flat. Usually the urge to draw crops up when I'm at work, unfortunately. I've gotten in trouble for doodling before.

There are worse things to get in trouble for <3
I get the urges too, a weird compulsion to just draw something, to create... They are few and far between and often it's (like you) during the process of something else that requires my attention

I did feel inclined to draw Mytola and Glo after reading your comment, got a sketch at the moment - something good came out of moaning! xD <33
