Inspirations Artist Collective

So... another huge chunk of time where I drew nothing. It actually makes me feel so sad to think of time wasted. It wasn't because I didn't want to but I just couldn't find what I needed to make me actually put the pencil to paper. Thankfully I finally found a picture that inspired me. Then I talked to my amazing naturopath, explaining that I was in a funk that I couldn't seem to shake and she said I needed to find my passion again and keep it moving forward. So after some thought I realize that I'd like to be part of a group where we could support and encourage each other to keep on creating. So today I made a facebook page called Inspirations Artist Collective. We will be doing monthly themes and creating art in whatever medium we feel like. We will also be committing to at least one piece of work per theme so that means I (hopefully) won't be going months again in between drawings. So far there are only 3 of us, so if anyone reading this is interested in joining us please leave me a message.

April theme is "Lost Boys"- Book, movie, tv characters that are surrounded by angst. Happiness can seem so close but they never quite get a break.  

I chose to draw Aaron Livesy from the British soap Emmerdale. I quite love his face so I may have to draw him again.
