How I did it: I've always drawn off and on, but only when all of my other priorities were out of the way.  I'm a busy person, so by the time everything else is out of the way, I'd find myself too tired to draw.  Recently, I reflected on what my real priorities are and decided that out of all my hobbies and interests drawing is the most important thing.  With that in mind, I created a realistic schedule where I could get other things done, but have plenty of time to draw.  I've also been carrying a sketchbook and art supplies with me everywhere I go, that way I can sketch whenever there's an opportunity.

Lessons & tips:

• Make drawing a priority
• Carry a small sketchbook and basic supplies with you everywhere
• Set a schedule, stick to it
• Look at lots of art to get inspired
