For almost one month I have been drawing every day and posting the drawing as a story to Instagram and Facebook. The drawing above, today’s Story, is about 5.50″ x 6.0″ and didn’t take too long to do. I have never drawn as much before and maybe because I wasn’t keeping track of when I drew – I just did it. When I thought about creating art daily I used to worry that I would run out of ideas and get in a rut. The exact opposite has occurred – I seem to have opened up, in my imagination, a whole new way of seeing faces that I want to draw. I love it and look forward to drawing when I wake up. My next goal is to paint daily after I figure out how to do that with oil paint when I only have about 30 minutes to work. I am sure I will find a solution to that, too.
Do you draw and/or paint daily? Have you had trouble finding inspiration? If you haven’t tried to work every day on your art, I hope you will. I think you will find it pleasurable and almost meditative.
