Robots and lizards: more details

I am having a hard time motivating myself to sit down and draw this week. spent about 20 minutes over the last couple days picking at this drawing adding little bits here and there. Seems like I spend all day thinking about getting home to draw while sitting in meetings at work and then when I get home I find one excuse after the next to not draw. waaah waaah waah. tomorrow is a new day I guess.
