I Picked the Pencil back Up!

Today I picked up the pencil, sat down, and started drawing.  It felt a bit strange... No wonder considering it's been about seven years since the last time I even held a pencil in my hand.


I was so worried that I would be beyond rusty, but as I kept drawing, the pencil started to feel more comfortable in my hand, and it all started making sense again.  It felt natural.  It's a bit like riding a bike.



I've been absolutely drained of everything called inspiration.  Literally completely dried up, nothing left at all.  Horrible feeling to an artist... really horrible. 

As you know, I'm really fond heavy duty strength workouts, empowered women, so my thoughts went to women in the world of fitness.

Seeing all the amazing progress people within fitness make, how they take control over their bodies, mold it to it's peek, the amazing willpower and skill it takes to get to their level - I find that inspiring.  To be able to capture that with a camera lens, with words, or with a pencil - to me it is just one more way of visualizing and sharing wonderful inspiration of what humans can do if they put their mind to it.



So here it is, my first drawing in years, inspired by the field of fitness!  I hope, and cross all my fingers, that it will keep me inspired for a long time to come.

Now I'm dying of curiosity to hear what you think!  So how's that for a seven year drought?
Hope you like it!

I'm still trying to process it all...

Have a good one!

    1. Tusen takk Nina, setter stor pris på å høre det. Jeg må innrømme at jeg ble positivt overasket. Var ikke fullt så rusten som jeg trodde. :)

      Kanskje jeg skal prøve meg på noe mer? ;) ...vurderer å kaaanskje tørre meg ut på litt mer vågal eksperimentering?

      *Klem*

    2. Jeg ser den videre utviklingen din. Kjempegøy å se hvor gøy du har det med gamle kunstner, og du virker ikke rusten i det hele tatt. Gleder meg til å se mer :)

    1. Thank you so much Morain, that's very nice of you. Very nice to hear, really appreciate it. :)

      I just might keep going... I hope so. I might even take it to a new level... maybe ;)

      It felt strange drawing again, but really nice as well. I'll post here if I make another one. Promise :)
