Yes, I realize I barely ever do anything on this site anymore but I feel an extreme need to update this journal.

Question: When drawing do you ever find yourself drawing and sketching and redrawing and resketching (repeating process again) over the same image until the art mutates into something else entirely? Then in the end, you are ultimately left frustrated and drained from erase marks searing the paper, ugly, black smudges that only smudge further if touched, and strange, distasteful lines that refuse to go away.

I seem to have a knack at creating this very problem EVERY time I pick up a pencil and a sketchbook. You will probably never find me doing illustrations as a profession for this exact reason. Quite frankly it is becoming a tiresome nuisance yet I still find a reason to pick up a pencil and scribble until my brain is fried. There is something about art that is addicting, and I am not talking about the smells of the paint or markers that my face is commonly only a few feet from.
