Something has been eating at me, for as long as I can remember and with increasing magnitude. It is this sensation of genuine, lingering discomfort when it comes to drawing, during artwork creation as well as during elementary practice sessions. The most severe ramification of this affliction has been an extensive hiatus when it comes to most things artistic. My dread of drawing overshadows my love for the matter, and I keep making up excuses for putting art aside - "I am more of a programmer anyway", "work and family is more than enough", "I need to start working out first" and so on.

I might have skipped a day of drawing, but other than that things are proceeding as I hoped. The lesson learned so far is that I should probably focus more on one topic at a time. Jumping between stuff makes it harder to get into the flow of drawing habitually. Therefore, for some time now I will focus on gesture drawing. The goal is to be able to accurately capture the feeling of any pose in less than 30 seconds. Based on what I have read, heard and seen it should be perfectly possible, but it will still be challenging since I am usually way to focused on details. It'll be good fun, hopefully :)
