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,
~Blue x

I love the uhh smoke. It's like her ideas are coming out of her mind and they are reflected on the pencil. Seriously cool!!

LilDBZbuddy89 In reply to ??? [2013-07-18 17:47:12 +0000 UTC]

Love the colour contrasts with the reds and blues here. The "smoke" connecting the tip of the pencil to the girl's eye is very symbolic. Amazing work as ever!

Oh my god, Destiny...I've only been watching for a little while, but all of your art that I've seen is so beautifully done and it has such deep meaning, more often than not. I love your style, and please keep this up!

Artists, ooh-rah!

This is really amazing. I hope that one day I can be as good of an artist as you, because right now, I can't draw squat.

I really don't understand where you get all these awesome concepts and ideas from, but reading your description do put a little light on the subject. I love the way you use light and colors in your drawings! It makes them so dreamy

DestinyBlue In reply to Zerelixon [2013-07-18 17:28:14 +0000 UTC]

Generally I get inspired by a lot of everyday things, combine that with an overactive imagination and I end up with more concepts than I have time to draw! XD

Thank you

A very beautiful drawing as always! :3
it looks likes she knows she's 'addicted' but not knows how she has to stop it. Luckily drawing isn't bad xD so she can continue her addiction

As an artist and a smoker I completely sympathize with this piece regarding how I feel about both things.

DestinyBlue In reply to UncleDrewMeister [2013-07-18 17:30:31 +0000 UTC]

Are you a smoker who would like to give up? Or happy with both your addictions?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

UncleDrewMeister In reply to DestinyBlue [2013-07-19 20:49:27 +0000 UTC]

At some point in the future I hope I can give up, at least when I'm almost done with my life in college. It's not the best addiction I really have right now, and most of my reasons is because it seems like stress is a really huge trigger for that desire to do so.

Personally I'm more happy with my addiction to draw than I am with smoking to be honest.

Oh how I can relate to this.

Even when I'm in a major art block, I just want to get back in there and draw something even though I can't think of what to do. I just end up doing stupid scribbles in my book no matter how bad they look, just as long as I'm drawing xD
