"Heightened awareness of visual and sensory environment" This may be one of my favorite submissions for any of my ideas journals that I have done over the last few years. It is not only because of the way the drawing looks or that I think anything relating to the whole goblin, elf, wizard scene is awesome, but how this drawing came to be. I had just finished a previous picture in my sketch book, and when all of the inking was finished, I found out that the page after had little black dots all over the page! At first I was annoyed that these dots would get in my way and ruin whatever picture I wanted to draw in its environment, but then I started to connect these dots together. What happened was that I ended up with the outline of the goblin head and helmet, so I continued to work on it until it is what you see now. It was astounding to me that just a few dots on the page in its own environment could spark the idea for the vision of a goblin warrior to draw and now I try to look for these little guide points whenever I draw a new image. Who could have thought that connecting the dots could create something so unique and different from everything else that I drew.
