Intoxicating and overwhelming... that urge to draw.
Having never been a smoker, I've struggled to understand why someone would want to pick it up. While talking with an old friend who had started the habit again after quitting for a year, he explained it to me "It's like having you own window of time; a box which you know will be filled up only with this, nothing else, your mind can wander anywhere. You hold a small corner of the world to just yourself for those few minutes"
His words surprised me, that's just how I feel whilst drawing. It's my own little space I have to to myself, where I can let my mind wander, relieve my stress, and not worry about anything else. And believe me, if I am not able to do it I get grumpy! XD Like it's my addiction. I'd never thought of it that way before...
This is in no way an avocation of starting smoking though The friend has since quit again and I'm very proud of him. I think my drawing addiction will be harder to kick, so I medicate with daily doses of doodling, and new sketchbook monthly, seems to do the trick
Was having some serious urges after traveling so much I could fit barely any drawing in, can you believe it's been a month since I posted there?! Gosh, thanks for sticking around, you're great guys So I drew this in remembrance for the month I gave up my addiction for Not too happy with the face, but I've got to get back into practice
Peace, love and healthy addictions,

I have a friend who's absolutely addicted to drawing. For the past five years, I've watched her sit through classes going through notebook after notebook after notebook, and I love flipping through their old pages and admiring her work. She's SO talented and SO like me, we've gotten along since we met. I think she could become a millionaire with her masterpieces, but she wants to be an architect... :(
