Draw out the happiness

I have had a difficult time making myself sit down and create lately. I don't want to delve too much into personal issues here so let me be brief. I struggle with bouts of depression. I wasn't taking care of myself and didn't pay attention when the warning signs appeared. It sucked. I'm okay. Just another reminder that I need to start up an exercise regimen. Again. Sigh. 

Ahem, moving on.... :)

Here are a few doodles I did today (finally) and boy, am I sure glad I put my Papermate mechanical pencil to some plain ol' copy paper. Seriously sweeties, those yellow pencils are my fav! I have used them for years and I have a smallish stash of them. Okay, maybe not so small.

These sketches reminded me that:

I really can draw!

I really do have a talent!

and

I really really need to use it! Every. Single. Day.

Because, at the end of the day, drawing helps draw out the happiness in me.
