It has been quite some time since i touched my brushes, actually speaking a very long time... around a year i guess. But, I have no clue why and how, I get up in the morning a week before my semester was about to start and i get this sudden but a very gripping and strong feeling that my drawing pencils are calling out for me!
By now my drawing skills had fallen to levels below zero and the simplest things i tried to draw turned out to be a major disaster. But well you know, once i get the urge to do things i don't fall back; so i just kept doodling everywhere i could find space... but unfortunately that didn't seem to be helping at all!
Thats how i got started! Due to a lot of insisting by Sai I am writing this. This is not actually my work! Just took it from the net cause I dont have a camera to take my pics!
So i turned to the all knowing saint of this generation... the internet. You can easily find loads of stuff with 'him', things that you want or don,t want! I started searching for anything and everything that would help me get back on track... Then I saw the light in the darkness, 'youtube', it just can help you with any damn thing that you want. Next few mornings I spent going through dozens of clippings on how to draw a face (well, it was only in the mornings cause the internet is free only at that time, so I can use it how much ever i want to!). They were pretty interesting( but i don't know if they helped me in any way or not!). I got into the idea of getting back to drawing so much that i even got myself a box of colour pencils( love them).
It has been 2 weeks since the semester started and surprising for all the enthu that i had before the semester to start drawing, i haven't touched the colour pencils even a single time in the hostel!
There is always something or the other to distract you from the course, at present Heroes is looking more promising than getting back to my drawing board!

I hear you man. I thought of taking a break from novels after 10th and found it ever so hard to get back the interest. I am such a slow reader now. 1 novel took 2 weeks in the palace of distraction- hostels :D . But yeah art seems like a dying hobby . Nobody seems To be interested in spending their free time drawing stuff.
