Drawing

I’m a creature of habit as many of you may know. I’m a firm believer that you achieve in what you repeatedly do rather than what you occasionally do – which pretty much explains my daily routines. I like to incorporate many of the interests that make my heart sing for 20-30 minutes each day rather than having to wait until the weekend for a three-hour session. Previously, I always found the inevitable occurred and my planned weekend activity was pushed aside and it might be three weeks until I had the desired free-time. That’s no good for me. I need time to enjoy myself each day - I’m not entirely sure how many I’ve been assigned! You've probably heard that 18 minutes a day equates to over a 100 hours a year - hence the improvement at any task or skill. 

Having a scheduled downtime each day to enjoy my art enables my brain to slow, my thoughts to flow and supports my creative writing – you’d be amazed how many of my plot points have occurred whilst I draw or paint.

You’ll remember back in October that I took up the challenge to draw each day. I know I promised to share but they were little itty-bitty sketches which were fun to do in the moment but not entirely finished, so I didn’t share. I might when I’ve improved them a little. The month-long challenge proved worthy as I managed to sketch for the majority of the days.  I’ve decided to continue with my daily practice by focusing on one main piece. Which brings me around to my current drawing – a combination of graphite pencil and coloured pencils, which I'll update as I progress.
