I need to force myself to draw more.

I need to force myself to draw more.

My line of work and time commitments have reduced me to doodling on the sides
of source-code printouts and on Post-It notes.

This has got to stop. It’s just not right.

I have proof that I’m letting this part of my brain go to seed: I’ve had the
same sketchbook for almost three years. You’re supposed to go through
them faster than that. At least, I’d like to go through them faster.

For your viewing displeasure, and my unending shame, I took some truly
miserable photographs of select pages
and drawings
from the book. The autogallery is set to preserve the
order, so you can see the progression from eVilla
(2000)
to
dieselsweeties
sketch (2001)
(cf. the finished product), to some figure
drawings (2002)
(1, 2, 3, 4), to the arrival of the
Zelda Master Quest (2003)
(0, 1, 2).
