First drawing in over two years...


It has been so long since I had even the slightest inclination to do anything "arty" but I am on vacation and rather than work on emptying out boxes from our move in Oct. 2010, I seized the opportunity to "productively procrastinate"! I know this drawing has many flaws, but I thought I would publish it so that I wouldn't be tempted to 'mess with it' any more. Every time I did 'fix' something I wrecked something else so I said 'time to quit'. I really would like to get back to making art everyday. It felt really good to work on this project.

Oh, I don't know - I don't see a lot of flaws with this! But it's good that you knew when to step away, that's probably the hardest part.

Wow, well you certainly haven't lost your touch after two years. Love the shading! Well done and keep going.

Hi, I saw your post on EDM so stopped by as I have just started trying to draw/create again for the first time in a while too (I love the way you put it as productive procrastination!) Like you I'm on holidays at the moment, so the hope is if I start now I'll be 'back in the habit' when I go back to work, good luck to both of us for keeping it up hey?! I really like the tray of objects in this drawing.
