semi-rant: "style is a crutch" -> "style is a trap"

getting out of that trap by deliberately pushing away from what's "easy" and into what's hard
yes, everyone does this, every artist had that phase.

what do you always do? stop doing it. maybe you'll come back to it, maybe you won't. when you come back it'll be conscious.

Kill your "style" to save it. If I hadn't done this three or four times I'd still be doing the horrible awkward pastiche of Jim Davis that I had when I was in high school. seriously.

Paper cups! Use the bottom of paper cups to paint! That's what everyone should do! I found it at least fun...

I was thinking more along the lines of 'stop drawing that way you always draw' but that's a pretty good way to make yourself try some totally different solutions too!
