Day 3: Blueberries (swipe for process video). Today I spent my morning preparing yesterday‘s illustration for animating. It is a relatively new area for me (if you don‘t take good old macromedia flash into account from about 15 years ago). It‘s been a fun journey so far but I felt I do want to finish a sketch I made during a work break to end the day. I‘ve not felt that inspired in a long time which makes me wonder if there is really something to this „media detox“ idea that I‘ve read about in „The Artist‘s Way at Work“ by a.o. @juliacameronlive Instead of listening to audiobooks, music, or podcasts during work, I tried to focus on what is right in front of me. It felt strange and sometimes uncomfortable to not have passive distraction. But if increased creativity really is a result from this not quite so strict experiment (I still do watch some videos when I‘m home and listen to Studio Ghibli music in the morning, and obviously check instagram and post here ;D), I am very happy that I‘m giving it a try.

Have you read „The Artist‘s Way at Work“ and have you ever tried a Media Detox?
.
Have a wonderful day and see you tomorrow, hopefully with another drawing.

Day 2: Rose hips (swipe for process video) - My main goal at the moment, more than improving my skills, is to find joy in drawing again. This is the second drawing this month and I realised that I missed going from idea to finished artwork in one go without too much editing and an exact thought what it's use would be. It feels good. And it is nice to try something else - new colours, themes, even tools.
.
So far the theme is surrounding my love for miniature hidden woodland worlds. And both drawings have been made within about an hour before going to my full-time freelance job at an animation studio.
.
.
I guess everyone has their own reasons to draw, be it to develop professionally or for personal enjoyment. I wonder what your reasons are if you are currently doing some sort of drawing challenge.

#Repost from @daysoutdrawing with @regram.app ... What can be a better conclusion to a day out drawing in the rain than a cup of hot chocolate ☕🍫 .
Here is @romica_s drawing of a camomile plant (??? correct us if we are wrong) from when she took refuge in the green house in the upper garden at Quarry Bank Mill @nationaltrust during a weather hiccup aka very heavy rain 😉 ☔☔☔
