Lack of Sketching

I haven’t been drawing every day as I resolved and it shows when I pick up the pencils again. It feels stiff! I need serious practice. I should be constantly drawing everyday.

But right now I’m focusing most of my energies in school, so I can finish it by February. This is the most important goal right now. Then, I’ll have a whole semester free to dedicate myself to drawing.

In the meantime, I’ll keep it casual. And at the same time try to fight this pressure I feel, that every sketch must turn out good! I start to stress on my worst drawing days. I can’t let that tension build up in me, because it only makes me draw even worse. I need to keep reminding myself of how mistakes are a natural thing and just keep at it, without stressing over it.
