Description
Life has been kicking my ass lately and my stress levels have shot through the roof. I also realized that all the obligations I've created with my hobbies is only increasing that for me. I needed something to help bleed off all this stress.

So, I went back to drawing. I used to draw all the time, yet dropped it in favor of everything else I was doing. Since the house was quiet this morning, I grabbed one of my instructional manga books and started putting pencil to paper. I enjoyed it so much I inked it and colored it with colored pencils. It's not a great piece, but it's one of my better pieces.

This is a photograph of the piece, cropped and (attempted) color and white correction in GIMP.
