Viewing Post from: Art In A Busy World
Finding time for Art when you have a 9 to 5, bills, rent, young kid's, a wife, and that occasional freelance assignment that you wish would come around more often. $,$,$, time, time, time. Wish I had more of both, but I do manage to make time for art. Even if it's just to doodle in my sketch book daily. Inspiration will eventually strike and somehow, when it does, I find the time I need to do what it is I'm inspired to do. I don't know how I find that time but I do.
What do I try to accomplish in my sketchbook besides trying to make better drawings? I try different styles, different marks. I flesh out characters from a story I will illustrate or a story I am reading or have read.

The sketchbook is a place to think, to play, to resolve fundamental things about putting a picture together or about drawing in general. Its for resolving how to draw an ear, how to construct a head from life, photos or imagination.
It is a place, a real place where I go to everyday.
These sketches from my sketchbook are my daily sketches done on my lunch hour at work and time spent at the end of the day before I turn in for bed, Sometimes they are made early in the morning before taking off for work.
