In January I resolved to do daily drawings. I purchased a new moleskine sketchbook (small enough to carry in my hand-bag, but still large enough to hold big ideas), and set out to experiment, play and have fun.
I haven’t managed to draw every day, but I draw most days, and I consider that a success.
The thing with being an illustrator is that I
do
draw every day, but most of the time the drawings are for other people. They fulfil a brief. They need to be vetted by editors and art directors. They get sent back for changes. I love my work, but sometimes I crave the freedom to experiment.
So daily drawings are a way for me to let my creative soul soar.
Here are a few.....
I'll keep posting more on either a weekly or monthly basis.
Do you have a daily discipline that makes you happy? It doesn't have to be drawing, it could be journalling, or yoga, or cooking delicious dinners.... There are so many ways to ignite our creative hearts.
