the idea: draw something

Snow has struck Boston yet again, leaving me housebound for the day.

For the most part, this was lovely.  I read the entirety of the War of Art by Steven Pressfield, an interesting book, and managed to also work on my own book.

But towards te end of the day I needed to get out of my room and do something different, so I went downstairs to watch a movie.  I knew I would need to be doing something with my hands while I watched but I wasn’t sure what.  In the end I decided on drawing “something.”

It’s amazing how long drawing with a regular black pen takes.  It took me about three hours to make this drawing, which fills up the entire page of one of my notebooks.  Although I do have to admit that the movie was claiming my attention for at least part of that time.
