draw one picture a day

I love drawing but I always forget to do it. I already got myself a nice sketchbook. I’m starting this one today.

And if any of you are interested, I’m going to put all my drawings on this new blog http://a-drawing-a-day.blogspot.com/

i have decided that if i really can’t make myself draw something a day, maybe i can force myself to paint for a couple hours a day once or twice during the week, and maybe on weekends when i can dedicate myself to a project easily 9 or 10 hours. its a thought.

but i havent given up on this. i dont want to give up on this, becuz the drawing will improve the painting, and the painting is less tedious and takes less effort to cover vast amounts of space. dude…. but i am tired when i get home, and there are people. actually maybe i will take up my male study, as there seem to be plenty of them lurking around my living room of late. yah think positively. be aggressive. and wouldn’t it just flatter them to be the subject matter of my artistic whims?

and i’m out of practice, out of a routine, and out of passion. so picking it back up and seeing where it goes. if i’m not reporting in here, i’m doing good. if i am and saying otherwise i am lieing.

i’ve only drawn when inspired to, and that usually is to procrastinate doing something else, that is probably more important. been trying to fix that, and found myself in a slump as a result of it. so i am not looking to make masterpieces. for the main reason that the last couple of attempts bombed miserably and i felt a complete failure. so this is just practice to keep my skills sharp and ready for when inspiration does come a knockin again. yep.

i did well for a little while, but i’ve slowed down since. it doesn’t matter what it is, i just need to keep that pencil moving. it helps me forget about life problems and stress, like going into another world.

I’ve definatly been neglecting this goal, as well as a few others on this list. I’m trying to get back into the habbit of drawing every day, and I have for the past couple of nights. I’ve developed a sort of routine where, each night before I sleep, I sit at the foot of my bed and write in my book, read (usually a little from multiple books, I usually have two or three on the go) and then a draw a picture in my sketch book, usually based on one of the books that I was reading that night. I dont know if I can call it an acutal routine yet as I’ve only done it twice, but if I can keep it up for a month or more, I’ll be marking this goal as done, finally!

I draw most days for class, but I’d like to be able to draw at least one extra curricular picture a day…
