JANUARY'S SKETCH OF THE MONTH POLL
So I figured out how to do polls on Blogger! Sweet! Below you'll see the poll for all of last month's sketches. If you need to refresh your memory on what sketch was what, just check out all of the January posts I on my Sketch-A-Rama 365 blog.
So get voting people!

State of the Blog
Howdy, gangstas!
So you're all probably saying to yourselves, "I sure haven't heard from Lew's art blog in a while? What's up with that?" Well yes, it's true I have been rather neglectful towards this blog in favor of my Sketch-A-Rama 365 blog. In retrospect, several factors entered into it. For one, I had gotten a new computer for Christmas, but my printer wasn't compatible with it and then it busted on me. So I've not been able to scan any real good stuff in the time I've had my new computer. I got a new scanner this week though, and I'm making pretty good use out of it. So that's one less thing to worry about.
Another crucial thing I'm realizing now: I don't think I was ever confident in my skills as an artist. I know, it's said that when you're an artist you're always your worst critic, but really I've always been very anxious about my work. I always strive to do try and better in everything I do, but I feel like I haven't grown much in my work. And it makes me very self-conscious about posting my stuff online, or even to pick a pencil and draw something. I know it's silly and all, but that's just how I felt for quite some time.
I will say this though; doing the 365 project is starting to boost my confidence. I did this project more or less for me and not anyone else, although I do enjoy everyone's feed back. There were times where I was so frustrated that I wanted to quit the whole thing altogether, but since starting this project I feel I have been improving tremendously, and I think it shows in my work as well. Plus it makes me happy to know that people are responding well to my posts, and that's always good boost for my ego.
So that brings us to what I plan to do for this blog. I'm going to continue this soon, now that I got a new scanner and everything. And I hope to start working on some actual pieces as well. I'll do a step-by-step blog as well, showing the piece in progress and all I do to make it work.
And speaking of my 365 blog, I'd like to announce that I'm making a poll of all the pictures I did in January and have you all vote on them to see which one you all liked best. The one with the most votes will be turned into a full sized picture. Now ain't that something? So stay tuned for that: I'll be figuring out ways to create polls here on Blogger.
Well, that's all I have to report right now. Stay tuned. There's more to come!
LEW!
