The drawing habit: day 4.
Fourth day in a row and I drew my watch. I messed up the colouring a bit, but overall pretty happy with the result.
The drawing habit: day 3.
I played around with VectorDesigner and made a digital drawing for my daily drawing. Mostly an exercise in using my tablet and drawing vectors.
The drawing habit: day 2.
The second drawing in the challenge. It didn't go so well, felt distracted.
The drawing habit: day 1.
I did it, I made that first drawing! I drew my camera, because it was there. And it seemed patient.
Unlike my dog who tried to get in between my pen and my book...
The drawing habit.
I lost my drawing habit. I haven't done any drawing or doodling in ages. I miss it, and yet I spend more time cleaning up than drawing...
This morning in bed I thought how it takes a month to create a habit, so I figured I'd start drawing one drawing a day in april.
After I got up I thought 'screw April, start today!'.
So, as of today, for at least a month, I will make at least one drawing (no matter what) to kickstart my habit. I'll call it my '30-day drawing challenge'.
I'll keep you posted...
What not to spend money on...
I'm a bit of a compulsive spender. There, I said it.
Unlike others, I don't buy shoes or clothes. I buy boxes. And organising stuff. Sites like The daily planner and The container store make my heart beat faster. And Thinkgeek.
Oh, and pens.
And I buy a lot of food.
Only on occasion do I not use the things I purchase, this happens maybe a couple of times per year. I don't buy 50 pairs of shoes, new skirts because they're on sale etc.
But I am a compulsive spender and this has to stop. I have more pens than I could possible ever get empty (granted, drawing just goes a lot better with the right pen, but I have multiple so that shouldn't become a problem any time soon). I have a gazillion (lovely) boxes. No more buying food when I have plenty in my pantry. Make shopping lists and stick to them. Time to grow up ;)
Some random drawings.
[gallery link="file"]Some drawings from my drawingjournal. I have more that I need to colour still. Sometimes I like to keep them black and white, but usually I like colour :)
Warming up.
In just about 15 minutes, the 21st SketchCrawl will start. I decided today to participate, although I won't go out and meet people and draw with them. Too ill still, so my participating will consist mostly of couch-drawing. Still, I want to try it, spend the entire day (or at least most of it) drawing and sketching. As a warm-up, I've drawn my waterbottle.
Spend most of the day cleaning up to prepare. So I better draw ;)
A drawing of food.
I had to make food, and after throwing it in the pan to warm up I started drawing and got distracted. I feel pretty good about how this turned out, I haven't done any drawing in ages (two or three months) because of my increased arthritis, and I found it didn't start hurting more when drawing this. Possibly caused by having a painkiller less than an hour before though :)
A Christmas card for all of you
I haven't sent out cards in years and I don't mind at all. I get a few, but less and less each year. Reciprocation plays a big role in the Christmas-card-business ;)
However, I wanted to post a digital one, one I made years and years ago (actually had them printed too, last time I sent out real cards). So there you go. My Christmas-card to the world, very personal ;)
In my search for it I found another image I had forgotten all about, but did not want to leave out.
Happy stuffing! :)
Artis de Partis in full watertechnocolour
Once I went to the zoo, in the middle of the winter. I did some drawing and purchased a mascot. It looks like a sock monkey and feels very nice and soft.
Semi-map of Istanbul.
In a few hours I'll leave for Istanbul. I made the cover of my booklet, drawing the entire map was a bit too much. I think I'll put the weather on the left and a pretty 'Istanbul' on the blue.
Fatboy & Pooh
My first watercoloured drawing in my large Moleskine. Also my first drawing in a long time.
