Quick Sketches

I love to draw. For me it's a way to calm down and get into a creative space. Especially on the times when I have too many ideas running through my head, it helps me to focus, it's a form of meditation. It doesn't matter what I draw or that it will even be a good drawing, just the fact that I'm drawing is enough for me.

One of the new things I like to do is a quick sketch at the beginning of the day or before I start on a larger project or even when I'm stuck on a painting and start getting antsy about it not turning out right, sketching will help me pass that block or anxiety.

I'd like to say that I'm in full control and a master at my craft, a real workhorse who powers through all my projects from beginning to end but the truth is, as an artist, you always have a voice that says, are you sure this is coming out right? Are you sure you're any good?

On those days, it's extra helpful to do sketches where I can just draw, no worries about how it will turn out or if anyone will even see them. It's important to just do it and move forward.
