Recently I've been perusing through my high school artwork, and I've decided that I want to get back into the game. I haven't arted in almost 2 years, and I'm sick of sitting around, wasting my talent.

So what were the reasons/excuses I used to put off expressing myself artistically for the last year and a half...well, time for some self-exploration:

1) lack of motivation
2) lack of inspiration
3) intimidation from seeing the works of other talented, young artists
4) finding the time
5) affording the equipment

Reasonable, yet easily overcome if I put my mind to it...So in response to those excuses, I:

1) got a job at the Student Art Association, where I get to use free art tools and resources
2) saved money and purchased new equipment/paints/paper/markers/etc.
3) bought a planner to schedule in time for art
4) traveled around the city taking pictures of people and stuff that inspires me
5) got a deviant art FINALLY so that I could get motivated

Ideally, I'll post up new pictures every so often to chart my progress. *sigh* Ideally is the key word there.
