What motivates me? Good question, my friend.

I guess the answer lies in a few areas:

1. The knowledge that with the more drawing I do, the more I'll improve and move toward the skill level I want to be at to draw Fish n' Chimps

2. The fact that I have a story I want to tell - it's all in my head and I'd love to get it down one day for everybody to see - that's something that keeps me going - knowing that I can eventually share this great thing with everyone

3. I like creating new ideas - whenever I come up with something new and keep working at it until it looks exactly the way I want it to - that's something that gives me great joy :)

I don't think I'm giving up drawing anytime soon, for these reasons.
