Sketching Faces

This is one of those things that I’ve been putting off – drawing.

I have my reasons; none of them are good:

It’s a waste of time.
I won’t like what I draw.
I don’t have any reason to draw.
I spend my time looking at other’s illustrations instead of drawing my own.

So here I am. Trying to get free. Trying to be a better me, and sketching like crazy.

It feels good.

I used to do this sort of thing in junior high. It came easier then. I want to get back to that flow, where the drawings just come out of me. Exercises like this sure help.

Hi Mandy, and thanks for the comment. The photo of the ocean view is very beautiful. And no, I am not on Flickr. Maybe one day…
