After being inspired by an artist, Martin Wilner, I've taken to doing a wee sketch every night on something that happened that day. Sometimes I really struggle to think of something interesting to draw, sometimes its trying to just pick one thing! Usually they're unintelligible to anyone but me, but I've found my memory is so much better looking back through the year and remembering what happened that day, as I usually have the memory of a goldfish...Martin's drawings are amazingly detailed, and one day I might turn these scribblings into a finished work, but in the meantime I find its a good exercise to at least get me drawing one thing a day if I don't have the energy to do something bigger and better. My January drawings are very neat and careful, but come September, they've become more of a scrawl!
This is such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea, you will get inspiration every day, I am sure. Can't wait to see the next one of the CC meeting!
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Reminds me of the brainstorming we did years back with thumbnails. Need to start that again. It's great exercise. BTW my favorite is #28. Love it!
ReplyDeleteEveryone has such great ideas and talent. I learn something everyday. Wonderful idea and the sketches are great. There's a lot detail in them.
