I don’t love drawing, and I often search for something to draw. I do love loose expressive line and charcoal. I wish that I had a habit of drawing in my practice. It feels like a chore. But I usually do get a payoff when I do draw. When I come back to the sketch a day or two later, I am often pleasantly pleased. I am inspired by those who commit to their drawing practice. Do you have a regular drawing practice? Do you enjoy it? What do you draw? Inspire me Please.

I do love drawing, but rarely draw. What is up with that?
I dó love drawing but sometimes I spend my time listening to my inner critic instead of drawing…
What I did do to overcome this: on january 1st I’ve started to draw a face a day and post it on my blog. It helps!
I’m inspired by you – your print work and frequency of posting to your blog (I’ve been such a blog slacker lately). I’ve found it helpful to keep some sort of mark-making stuff with me at all times so I can take advantage of those short periods when I’m waiting or something catches my eye. I just tell myself I’ll draw for five or ten minutes or so. It usually ends up being longer and sometimes I actually like what I draw!
Ladies – thanks for the ideas and inspiration. Just do it and maybe keep it simple and easy to do it.
