How to draw more often
It made me
feel good
 "Made it a priority"
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:

More "How I Did It" stories
It made me
happy and relaxed
How I did it: It's hard for me to get motivated when I come home from work to do anything but make some dinner and veg in front of the TV/computer. I've started just turning everything off and drawing on the weekends without any end goal. I used to always get hung up on WHAT I was drawing, but now I just doodle and mess around until I think of something worthwhile. Read how I did it…
It made me 
How I did it: I'm going to say I achieved this goal, because it's kind of hard to NOT draw a whole lot when you've got art classes 6 days a week, 18 hours total. In one class alone I've been doing 10 18x24 size-ish drawings a session. Gesture, yes, but it's still a drawing. Read how I did it…

Which I love to do.

I rarely draw, and I need the practice. I love the results, usually, but once I finish a picture, it is usually 3-4 months before I’ll do something else. I’d like to get to the point where I can draw something or someone as they sit before me. Right now, I have to have a printed picture to go by.

I’ve been drawing a lot over the past couple weeks, and going to try to keep it up. I’ve joined a flickr group which I’m finding very inspiring, so I’m going to be using my lunch breaks to leave work and draw urban settings. I wish I could draw even more, but I have to balance it out with other things too. I recently decided that drawing is one of my biggest priorities and I think that’s key to making time for it.

I don’t think I’ve done very well with this goal overall since I don’t draw consistently. I am drawing again though.

“Everytime I start to draw, I lose inspiration, and the will to draw about thirty minutes into it. I've only ever finished one or two pictures. Any ideas on what to do? :/”
