I think I've figured out why I haven't been drawing much at all for the past couple of years. In art class I was always able to come up with creative ideas... but those ideas were based on some sort of criteria or necessary component for the grade. Left to just create on my own... well, I find I don't have much creativity there. Someone else has to put down the general idea or outline, and then I fill it in.
So now I still feel the need to draw, but I can't find what I need to draw. I don't want to draw something just because it will look pretty or whatever, but because it actually says something powerful.
I haven't actually set a time for myself to just sit down and draw. (I just doodle sometimes in my notebook before my calc class starts, but they're just doodles.) I always do something else... watch anime, play video games, or ick, do my calculus homework. Sometime soon.
And I will call Rachel sometime because I said I would. <3
