A late Merry Christmas and an early Happy New Year to everyone!

Woohoo! It's Holiday Time! and like always, I'm not going anywhere. Time to catch up with friends, read, draw, listen to music and laze around!

Now that I finally have some time to myself after a hectic first semester of uni, I've been looking back in my sketch book and getting ready to draw again. I wanted to take my time and see how I could improve from my drawings before and thats when I felt that all my drawings seem to lack soul.

Okay, so I haven't had any professional lessons but I feel like my art is less of a creative outlet and more of a make-my-piece-of-paper-pretty kind of thing. 99% of what I draw are from reference pictures, not that I trace or anything, but now I find that drawing what I see onto paper isn't giving me as much satisfaction as it used to.

I want to be able to make something awesome out of scratch, experiment with different mediums and really put some emotion into my art. And that there, I think, should be one of my new year resolutions (though I rarely follow through )
