DAILY DRAWINGS: Drawing No. 22

Ok guys, this has been really fun! Sitting down to draw every day has been such a wonderful exercise, and although I kind of cringed a little at all the badly drawn lines that were in pen so I could not correct them, I still really like the end results. There is a freedom and looseness that I have been looking for. A lack of perfection. Always good for a perfectionist to practice being imperfect.. and ok with that.

But I have been feeling like I don’t have enough hours in the day to do everything I want to. I know this is good for me… but so is meditating daily, doing my yoga and/or exercise daily, and getting to that long list of projects that I have been working on. And they all incorporate drawing! So I feel like that need to draw every day is being satisfied by those projects. Therefore, I have decided to end the daily drawings because it was just setting me back too far. Between web design, illustration, and my YouTube channel, I have plenty to do.

So to simplify my life a little, I’m going to do a drawing like this when I feel inspired. I’m playing with the idea of using my mornings to choose between a few different exercises, and drawing like this will be an option for me. Along with reading, writing, blogging, errand running, and personal admin stuff. This is not the only thing I’m going to weed out of my routine, I need to reduce even more… and that means reducing the frequency of my Gentle Pencil videos.

On to bigger and better things!
