A popularly held notion posits that artwork can provide a window to the deeper desires, the unconscious musings, of the artist; this drawing reminds us to close the blinds.Though the drawn notes may not match up, the artist in this picture has put on the song "Improper Dancing" by Electric Six.
STOP!

This would be Jude Law.
To explain this picture, I give the following excerpted comment of mine. The artist to whom I spoke said they kept their motivation to finish a piece by not telling anyone about it; I pose a different method.
While the "witholding information" method works well as a motivator, you can alternately say exactly what you're drawing, but before each time you relate progress to someone you amp up the picture. You get inspiration from the innate excitement in the composition.
Example Conversation:
"Hey, I'm drawing this pretty cool picture of a robot."
"Oh? Cool. Can't wait to see it."
"Yeah."
1 hour later
"So the robot has a mustache."
"Haha. That's silly."
2 hours later
"The robot is boxing this old school boxing dude from the 20s."
"Okay..."
3 hours later
"He's fighting him on top of a rooftop. In Tokyo."
"...what?"
Not Long After That
"Godzilla's watching, but they don't have to worry because he just ate Mothra."
"You need help."
When The Picture Really Starts Looking Awesome
"And now they have lazers! Space lazers! And this pretentious dude from the New Yorker is looking on, saying 'How droll.' And the robot has a Ghostbusters logo! Ghostbusters!"
"This, sir, is a legally binding restraining order. Should you fail to heed it, you will be arrested and brought to trial."
Hence, not moments later, I produced the above sketch as a proof of concept.
