I've been thinking lately that I should be sketching more often then I am, but I never actually do anything about it. Then I found Suzanne Buchanan's blog, an open [sketch]book, which has a bunch of her BEAUTIFUL sketches on it. I realized that I just have to do it, get sketching. So today I drew my spoon cup while I was waiting for some things to print. Afterwards I realized that although I draw all day long for work, and am constantly drawing different ideas I have, this is probably the first drawing that I've done just for the sake of drawing in probably over a year! CRAZINESS! I definitely intend to continue and make it a habit. OK that's it for my rant today.
Believe me, I understand not drawing just for drawing's sake! I too often find myself falling into the same category of drawing all the time, but never just for myself.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you are familiar with Danny Gregory's book "The Creative License" but if you aren't I highly recommend it. He talks about just this thing and how to break through it.
Love your blog!
