The Great Escape!

I had the help of Mr. Thisorthat while drawing this.  He likes to say "you should do this over there" or "if you do this it will look like a ...." and stuff like that.  Sometimes I listen to him and most other times I just look at him with that confused look on my face.  Then he just chuckles at me - he's great!  After I finished (with the added help) it looked like a lot of different exit stragies.  Then it hit me - when you're looking for "a way out" you can find all sorts of things to help you out.  Sometimes we use those as excuses instead - which is never good.  The excuses are a lot easier to find, especially when we really don't want to do what we know we should be doing anyway.  Remember, sometimes doing the right thing is harder than it looks.  Keep striving to reach your goals (you'll be SO glad you did) and enjoy your day!

Home at last!

I decided to show you the two best pieces I did while traveling.  I keep forgetting that trying to ride in the car while drawing is almost ridicules.  As you can see, there is no such thing as a straight line - even those that are supposed to be straight!  Between the wind blowing the car around, the traffic (I'm a victim to the weaving in and out of traffic) and the worst is the horrible roads, it's a wonder that I even managed to get anything that resembled a completed piece.  I have to admit that most of the shading I did when we were stopped.  Life seems to be that way too - overcoming obstacles to get to your final goal.  Today I hope you reach whatever goals you have set for yourself.  Enjoy!
