How I did it: When I graduated from my highschool (An art based one where I did study Visual Arts) it felt like I couldn't even pick up a pen. Then when I got myself another job(I was unemployed for 6 months) I was so stressed and drained I still couldn't do it.

One day in July of 2009 I walked into the "town" area where I live and work near, sat down and just started drawinmg gestures of people I saw. My hands let me down a bit but I made a point of every day of or at least a few times a month I would go there and draw what I saw.

My photography has suffered too but I have started working on that again as well. I know when I go back to school I will be in full swing.

Now I will be participating in the sketchbook project, which will tell me if I am cut out to still keep up with my passion.

Lessons & tips: Stick with it, if you feel you are not up to par all you can do is keep on drawing,painting, snapping away, etc.

Resources: The internet and the world around me.
