Addicting games

Saturday night. 11:30 pm.  I roll over in my messy unmade bed and stretch fully, looking up at the ceiling. On my belly lays my 3ds, the only thing i've been doing the last couple days. I had gotten the new pokemon game after trading in a bunch of old games, and I couldn't put it down. I was 16 hours into the save file and not even close to beating the game. Sighing loudly, I sit up, pulling the fuzzy blanket over my head. I need to draw. I haven't drawn in ages.

Forcing myself out of my cozy warm bed, I pull on a heavy sweatshirt and slowly walk out of my bedroom. Okay, no one's up. I hate being bothered while drawing. Shutting the door quietly behind me, I sneak on the computer and pull out my tablet.

Wow, i really need some inspiration to draw. Maybe if I look at my friend's artwork it'll help me... I open up my browser and type in DeviantART.com. The first art piece I come to is from my friend, Jess. She had completed two refs for her characters and they looked really nice. I really liked her art style, even if it wasn't the best I've seen. Like all art, It could use some improvement.

Refreshing my messages once more, I come across another art piece from a friend. This was an completely different style and I completely adored it. She had completed an art dump from the last month and a half, putting in a lot of different characters and fandoms from across the internet and television.

 I was now inspired. I picked up my tablet pen and scribbled out some doodles. 2:30 AM rolled around and I had drawn a few art pieces that I was proud of. 4 doodles, icon, and an animated pixel said in front of me, lighting up the entire room. Stretching back over my chair, I smiled to myself. I finally got something done. After a week of playing pokemon nonstop, I was finally able to complete something.
