On Drawing Again

Two months ago, while we were looking after a friend's cat in their apartment during their vacation in Canada, I found myself with absolutely nothing to do. I had grown tired of coding and reading simultaneously and couldn't find anything to occupy myself during those days. A couple of months before that, my wife had gifted me a new notebook and a set of pencils for my birthday. I decided to give it a go and started drawing pen and ink sketches again, almost the same way I did back in 2012 and then again in 2015.

I've been drawing on and off for a decade and still haven't settled into the habit. This is my third attempt, and I hope that this time it goes well. I really enjoy drawing. The meditative practice of filling in shapes clears my head, and sometimes I regret not starting to draw consistently many years ago. So much wasted time, so much wasted potential. I just hope that it will work out someday, and until then, I will practice. I'll keep this post updated with my sketches to track progress and motivate myself not to give up.
