I have a new morning routine: to draw a scene from my day! I picked up a book by Lynda Barry, “making comics”. It is really fun, and quick: drawing the daily scene is a 5 minute part of a 20 minute routine.
I made myself a custom timer using iOS shortcuts functions that makes it easy to keep the times. (Photos of Barry’s instructions can be found at her website: https://thenearsightedmonkey.tumblr.com/post/111125141634/above-variations-on-our-daily-diary-practice)
Daily sketch on a6 piece of paper. Alcohol markers, ink, and watercolor.
I had a migraine yesterday, so I slept the day away, but still so happy for the new easel.
Sketch daily. Watercolor on a6 piece of paper.
It is not my original composition, I drew inspiration from a drawing I saw on Pinterest a few years ago – I saved it but didn’t note who the artist is
Sketch daily, white pen on prepared acrylic surface, a recycled book page. Timer 10 mins x 2
Some advice is easier to give than to follow. If I prioritize myself, who do I let down?
Inspired by a detail of a photo by Frans Mäyrä. Practicing awkward angles. Just a sleepless sketch.
