Drawing (5)

Is it an obsession now? I don’t know. I certainly feel compelled to draw everyday. I want to get better though what that will feel like when, or if, I ever get there, again I am not sure. Instagram is part of it. I want to post each day. Or should I say need to? I began doing so for the GW project but now I think it has become more than that. I need validation, I always have. I cannot trust my own judgement when it comes to my drawing. And I respect that of many of those who ‘tick’ me or comment. They are kind souls but they have integrity too. Perhaps I just have to accept that this is the way it is for the time being at least. I think about drawing all the time. All the time.
