Drawing at the new place/image heavy**
I hummed and hawwed for days over what to start drawing. The stacks of boxes and work to be done made it hard to focus to do anything else.
This was going to be Optimus playing piano, with some care bears doing a carebear stare to cheer me up. When in doubt for what to draw during art block, comfort characters always help.
What do you draw for your daily practise? Q & A.
Having survived the incredibly humbling experience that it was to start making art again in my 30s. Especially after quitting art for so long…it makes me want to share my story. I hope it helps other former artists, make their way back to creating art again.
I go on artist message boards across the internet and when I feel compelled to, I will share some of my experiences. Sometimes people relate, and they ask me for more details. I had some great feedback on my latest response, so I felt it's good to share here too.
The Creature Project
The kids produce original designs that get redrawn/reimagined by professional artists. This is to help boost/restore creativity in kids, help them connect deeper to creating and also inspire them to see where their creations could go.
Maximalist painting part deux
I love it when inspiration just knocks me right over. And I have to start working, without starting my usual prep. I'm in too much of a rush to get the idea out on canvas, to deal with turning on my music and setting up properly.
i feel the most alive, when the flow of inspo hits.
All the art that I don't share
Knowing that I'm influenced by numbers and external factors. There are some pieces I make that I don't want social media to see. I refuse to let myself feel even remotely bad, for lack of numbers on something that I'm so proud of. Me. I'm proud as heck of these things. I refuse, REFUSE, to let anyone cloud my opinion of it in the slightest.
Not everything is meant to be shared.
