Tomorrow's Yesterday

I was depressed yesterday. Or it might have been earlier today, I'm not sure. Anyway, it seems to have passed. I'm glad it did.

I've become somewhat motivated to improve my artistic skill. I just had this feeling earlier, "I want to be a great artist. I want to make the art I had always wished was made.". I can't say how long I'll care, but at the moment, I feel good about it.

First order of business would be to learn the human body. What I have in mind is tracing, and lots of it. Several times, several poses, several angles, until I become as familiar as any artist should be.

I'm not really sure how to approach this, though. What I have in mind are drawings, black outlines, undetailed figures that are ideal for tracing. I'm not sure how to find these, though, unless if someone made a book or a website or something for people who have had my idea. I suppose I could make my own, but that would suck.

Art is just such a broad subject, and there are so many books and websites and classes out there that it makes it hard to know where to jump in.

Well, I havn't even begun, and I've got setbacks and excuses. I'm really not sure how far I'll go with this, I don't know myself well enough. This might just be another thought I have that will fade away, maybe I'll actually improve something about myself. I dunno. It's not a huge thing, though, I'm not in a rush to get going. It will be on my mind, though. I do not know how this will develop.

I sat for a few moments thinking about what else to say, but I really don't have anything.
