Sketching things I like

It’s dark and raining outside. Everywhere I look there’s drabness.

From the floor to ceiling, colors seem to have fled as grayness filled their vacancy.

I’m bored.

I shouldn’t be bored since I have enough work to last me the next 2 years if I stop taking new assignments now. But for some reason, my productiveness has left me today. I fill like a prisoner in my studio.

I guess partly from the sheer amount of work that needs to be done and the mundaneness of some of the projects I face.

Whatever the reason, I need to jolt myself out of this inactivity and into action. For this, I start sketching things I like, to bring back the passion back into my work. So, today, I spent all day drawing nudes with my ballpoint pens, losing myself in the pen strokes…

I’m not bored anymore.
