Bored.

I have been so bored these past few days. I know there are lots of things I can do...they just dont peak my fancy. Whenever I get bored I feel like Sherlock.

Ok, maybe not as bad as him shooting the wall but when I am bored I definitely do some staring at the wall and watching ridiculous amounts of tv (binge watch Parks and Rec? yup.). I try not to do too much of that however so I picked up a string art project that I had started the previous month. Instead of doing an animal or a scene, I chose to do a word this time. The word I chose was "Redeemed".  So far it is turning out rather well.

The piece of wood I am using I picked up randomly from some place at school. My friends were just starting to get used to me having random pieces of wood in my apartment before the summer started. Now they can all see what I do with those random pieces of wood (see...Im not crazy!). This particular piece though had some unforgiving knots that made it difficult to hammer the nails straight in some parts. Luckily it works for this piece as it is not a piece that needs to be absolutely perfect or pristeen. I plan on putting nails around the perimeter and doing a reverse string art kind of effect. Ill post the results when I am done, of course.

Also to kill my boredom, I have been working on a commission for a friend of mine. Its supposed to be some sort of steampunk cityscape. So far so good..Im just in the sketching phases as of now. I prefer to sketch in as many details as possible that way when I bring it into Illustrator most of my work is finished. ^^

I almost forgot how much I love to draw and to sketch. I really should start doing more of it. And reading. I should do more reading.
