Love this idea...

I'm trying to get back into drawing more often for a few reasons:
1. I hate wasting the free time I do have doing stupid stuff like watching entire seasons of horrible TV shows.
2. It's like working out - the longer you're out of it, the harder it is to get back into your form.
3. God, I'm stressed out. I need some sort of reliever. Running only accomplishes so much.
4. I've got all these materials, and they're just cluttering up my space.
5. Drawing is the foundation for painting, and painting is, well, what I'd rather be doing instead of sitting in an office. If I ever expect to start selling again, the only way to accomplish it is to start drawing again.

So I've poked around at how to force myself back into it, and I found this: the 100 drawing challenge. My goal: to post 100 drawings of the following themes. I'll add them as I can and post a link back on here. That is, if I can remember how to edit my website. A friend suggested I sell the drawings for $50 each, but since I have no idea how they'll turn out yet, I'll wait on that.
