Motivation!

I have been severely lacking motivation to do anything lately, I've found myself sitting around thinking about doing things a hell of a lot, but never actually getting off my backside and getting things done. I don't know if it's so much being lazy, as much as that contributes to it, but I've just had such a lack of motivation that I can't bring myself to do anything. Well, today I finally got fed up of this and actually did something. So, armed with a black oil pastel and a piece of white paper, and using a picture of Erd as inspiration, I started doing a quick sketch of him. I'll be the first to admit it's not very good - I spent the whole of five minutes on it and didn't think too much about perspective etc, but generally I am quite pleased with myself as that's the first drawing of any kind I have done for over two years, since I did art at AS level. And I enjoyed it. I think I have avoided drawing for all this time as I always thought I was never really good at it, which I am most probably not, but I suppose what does that matter if I enjoy it and it's something that can be improved over time anyway? Oh I wish I had realised this such a long time ago!

Also, I have started doing exercises to tone up a little. It has been my aim to do this for months but being my lazy self, I never got round to it. Now for two days in a row I have kept it up and I aim to keep this going, it's at least one thing giving me some motivation and I really need it!

This weekend I am going to buy some camera film. Lots of it. And go out and take lots of photos. YES!
