Rant: My entire sketchbook this week was just garbage dog drawings

I don't know what happened but every doodle I did Tuesday through Friday looks like a deformed mutt. The legs are too long, the heads are tiny ovals, and one of them has three eyes because I messed up the eraser. I tried to draw a simple coffee cup but it turned into another dog somehow. Has anyone else had a week where your hand just refuses to cooperate with your brain?

Oh man that's such a mood! I had a whole week like that too and switching to a softer pencil really helped me get back on track. Sometimes your hand just needs a different feel to snap out of whatever funk its in.

(@juliashah) Right there with you, my whole sketchbook turned into weird blob creatures last month and switching to a softer pencil finally fixed it too.

Started pressing way lighter with my pencil and it helped a lot. Also switched from my favorite mechanical to a standard no.2 for a day, something about the softer lead just fixed my hand.
