At some point, the barriers need to come down...

I never really thought this work would affect me, physically.  Several weeks ago I tried to draw the rib cage.  It was not working out, I kept starting over, until giving up.  In talking about this, I realized how it made me feel, constricted, confined, captive.  I was resisting the drawing because if the emotions I was experiencing while drawing it.  As I enjoy a challenge, I decided to go back to this and try again, from a different approach.  Once I made the decision to not draw both the left and the right side it became much easier for me, and I am pleased with the composition and use of space.
