About

I realised it had been almost a year since I had drawn a single thing. My motivation had been smothered by a lifestyle consisting only of work with overtime stacked on top. It had become easier to simply tell my self I would start something soon and dream about it to make my self feel better. Then, whilst searching for things to throw out, I unearthed one of my old sketch books and came across this old drawing of a stag skeleton.

I remembered that I actually really missed drawing, particularly in biro, and quite simply, it got me in the mood for drawing...well...more skeletons. It was time to actively make a change. I couldn't afford to simply just quit my job so I stopped doing over time and, yes, I would have less money to spare but it would give me time to try to rekindle my interest.
So I decided to write this blog as a way to get unbiased views and critiques from people who did not know me, track my progress and keep me motivated. Yes, currently, I only draw skeletons and use biro at the moment but implying life and motivation to a skeleton, with the addition of a few contextual props, has been fun and they do seem to have been providing me with varied much needed practice in a variety of ways. Also I think it gives me an excuse do do a few extinct critters too.
