Description
Intoxicating and overwhelming... that urge to draw.Having never been a smoker, I've struggled to understand why someone would want to pick it up. While talking with an old friend who had started the habit again after quitting for a year, he explained it to me "It's like having you own window of time; a box which you know will be filled up only with this, nothing else, your mind can wander anywhere. You hold a small corner of the world to just yourself for those few minutes"
His words surprised me, that's just how I feel whilst drawing. It's my own little space I have to to myself, where I can let my mind wander, relieve my stress, and not worry about anything else. And believe me, if I am not able to do it I get grumpy! XD Like it's my addiction. I'd never thought of it that way before...
This is in no way an avocation of starting smoking though
The friend has since quit again and I'm very proud of him. I think my drawing addiction will be harder to kick, so I medicate with daily doses of doodling, and new sketchbook monthly, seems to do the trick 
Was having some serious urges after traveling so much I could fit barely any drawing in, can you believe it's been a month since I posted there?! Gosh, thanks for sticking around, you're great guys
So I drew this in remembrance for the month I gave up my addiction for Not too happy with the face, but I've got to get back into practice Peace, love and healthy addictions,

I love it. I agree the feeling when your making or doing art. It's like your worries fade away for awhile, until something happens then you remember your living in reality, not in your art

Oddly enough I'm usually a school doodler. I never get the urge to doodle anywhere else more than at school. Gosh I have like.... 3? 4 sketchbooks from my 8th year of middle school doodles?
Drawing at home is an occasional thing. But I always feeling to nervous to draw at home because I cant think of anything that I would be able to draw really nicely.

this is beautiful, you probably wont respond, or maybe even read this, but i really and truely understand both, because i smoke and i'm addicted to drawing. But then again they work with each other for me, when i'm upset i have the urge to draw, but because i have all these feelings, pent up, they look like scribbles, when i smoke, i calm down, and then my ideas arn't clouded up with anger they are clear... even though i'm still upset i figure out exactly what i'm trying to draw C:

Drawing's an addiction to a lot of artists, you just can't snap out of it!
Anyway, nice work! This is one creative way to express how addicting drawing is.
