Awww don't feel sorry for that at all! Take care of yourself first!
I hope your back gets better soon. I'm sure it hurts a lot. My mother had back surgery a few years ago and she was in horrible pain before then.
Ah, it's like writing, just on a visual level. I get in different moods. Sometimes stories are easy to write and ideas flow right out. Then others its a little more difficult.
It's all good- it's getting better fast apparently

I had to take 3.5 days off work though... I managed to watch season 3 and 4 of House over that period of time >.< I'm going to be analyses everything medically for a MONTH now. I've already had several House dreams

My biggest issue was that having the bad back would make me have to cancel my surgery on Monday. Apparently I'll be fine by then

That's all that worries me

All arts are similar on that level. I compare drawing to Martial arts. You learn the basics through hours of practice and dedication, then when you learn the advanced stuff, it's easier. When you're trained well, art flows like water. IT's thoughtless- just instinct. Your brain doesn't even have to think- it knows what it wants and just DOES. All Martial arts practices can be applied to any art. That's why they call it martial arts after all
We'll see how this background goes. So far, it seems good though

Despite the gloves... I don't think I can fix those without it being obvious or using a different medium
