progression........

When I don't feel very inspired (like lately), it can be a little hard to pick up my pen and do anything with it - I just know that there's not going to be anything exciting happening when I put that pen to paper, so why bother, right? Well, I am a big believer of the more you create, the more creative you become, so although I might be tempted to just take a break (and, admittedly, sometimes I do), other times I like to work through the dry spell and see if I can drag some inspiration along with it.

One of my start up tactics is to draw some random circles on the page and just start from there.

Here's yesterdays drawing:

Not very exciting, and similar to stuff I've done before - but, it got me drawing.

Here's some progression pics - unfortunately they are not great because I was too lazy to scan each step, so took them on my ipad - you'll also have to ignore the fact that it is upside down to the finished drawing (I just realised this as I was uploading the pic....lol). The circles are pencilled in first, then I go from there:

Last week's challenge - I did start something, but lost interest a few dots from completion. Here it is, fully dotted:

Thanks also for all the lovely comments on my last couple of posts - I haven't had the time to get around and look at much of anyone's work of late. I am finally in my last term of my school contract and cannot wait for the summer holidays to begin in around 7 weeks!
