This morning I was up early and rather than turning on the TV or playing games, I decided to try and sketch something.......anything. Instead of looking around hoping something jumped out at me to sketch, I chose to sketch the first thing I saw sitting in front of me, which happened to be my pencil case.I'm still lacking motivation and this slump I've been in is really starting to bring me down. I so want to get past it!!
I think part of my problem is lacking purpose for what I do. It used to be straight forward in my reasons but somewhere along the line, I started questioning those reasons. Now I'm dealing with a great deal of confusion and just not sure what direction to take to regain a sense of purpose.
This is digital sketching using Procreate and Ipad using the HB brush tool and the Pastel brush tool.
When I go thru spells inability to concentrate, on more realistic art, I find a quote(s) I like and format a page that has a grid. Some sections are fill with different styles of writing (the quote) and others have long tangle borders or small decorative tangles in some of the grids (squares). LRB
ReplyDeleteI like your pencil case :-) I have been going through the same thing. Finally drug out my spinning wheel and spun yesterday. I'll finish the plying today Now if I could just get going on my drawing & painting...
ReplyDeleteFor me, I think it's the state of our world, mixed with summer heat. It's a difficult time... Keep inspiring me! Please!
