sembler et l'art

so i used to do art, a lot of it. right now, tho, i never seem to have time to sit down and draw. it's frustrating.

but...in the past few weeks i've had a few days when there has been time to put my pencil to paper. most of the time when i sit down with my pencils and sketchbook, i have no plan in mind. i rarely have an idea of what i'm going to draw and so half of the free time i have is spent trying to push back into that part of my brain where all those designs and ideas are.

what i've found to be helpful is to turn on music. it can't be random tho. particular genres or artists. i usually cycle through 5 or 6 songs that put me in the same mood and then i draw whatever they make me think of. here are two examples of what i mean. (poor quality pictures, sorry)

listening to T.I.

listening to Bob Dylan

and these are a few old randoms, just for fun...

everyone should do some art. it's good for you.
