make more art

I made a shitty charcoal drawing last night.

But at least I’m making more art.

The school year is almost over. I’ve had several ideas, written down somewhere, but college has shoved those off to the side and demanded my attention 24/7. I think once the stress and effort and such of school dies down for good, I can really concentrate on my art and my writing and my guitar. I’m really excited, and maybe this huge dried up hole of nonproductiveness is one of the healthiest things ever.

I haven’t done quite enough to really feel a big change in how much I do, but I’ve worked hard on two pictures. One I did in two or three days, the other I’ve finally completed. But I am getting closer to this. It’s more important to me than one might think…I’ve been into art my whole life, as it is my passion, though lately I’ve picked up writing more. But I would be ashamed to retire this hobby, as I probably wouldn’t be alive without it.

I’m drawing more already lately, but not a lot. I think I can do it. I’ve done it for most of my life, and unfortunately I’ve gone without doing it for a long, long time. I drew something new yesterday. I’m proud of it and I’m going to add some outlines and color to it after the internet.
