AGHHH Artist block and watching TV

Ive been feeling like all my artwork is crap...i never finish anything (did i ever?) and i never want to show any of the good stuff..cus theres only about two good things. Ive decided to just start with a view character designs. Ive been wanting to do a awesome cartoon but im in the process of personal crap and moving. I feel like my hands dont want to do whats in my brain...my art never sucked so bad three years ago. my lines where cleaner...sharper..darker and my art seemed a lot more happy..i wasnt worried with what it looked like..and i think that was a good thing. I get a little to wrapped up in the pressure of becoming an intern at a hot shot animation company. If i dont get chosen then whatll i do? Mope and keep drawing all frantic. Asking for help on art is kinda odd to me. I dont know how. Even composing a letter to any one anywhere i get nervous and feel like the whole act of writing is stupid. So...i think starting tomorrow im going to sit down and watch non cartoon TV (not to get ideas but perhaps take a break from any cartoon watching). I watch cartoons all day and not any "actual" shows. I started to watch Flapjack and then switched over to Dexters Lab (booth on the same channel's website). I like flapjack alright but Dexters lab has something that really grabs me. What i like about flapjack (ep Behind the curtain) is its very whimsical and easy for kids to follow. It has comedy that kids will find funny. I tested both of them out on two hard to please 10 year olds.

XOXO
