30 minutes creativity per day…
Oh my goodness!
Where did the year go?
Last year (2016) was a very full year, personally and work-related – some good, some bad. Then, I noticed I really haven’t been giving myself the “me” time I should have been. So, look out 2017 – I’m intending to slot in at least 30 minutes creativity per day.
I’ve made a start by sketching the head of a platypus. Boy, am I out of practice!
Why a platypus? I’ve promised, a while ago now admittedly, to create a special textile artwork of a platypus for my daughter to hang on her wall. Yes, I have ideas in my head, and a few layout sketches – thumbnails really.
So, here I am getting to know a platypus close up ☺ – it’s a start.
You may notice the initials of my signature are “LC” – this is because I do all my drawing and painting artworks under my maiden name, having only really done textile art in more recent times ☺
This sketch was drawn using only an HB pencil. The angle of the head was probably the wrong one to start on after a break from sketching, as it is a rather hard angle to sketch – mind you, I love the smile he appears to have going on.
Well, let’s see if I can keep this going. 30 minutes creativity per day…
You deserve your “me time”. Have a great 2017.
Thank you Yvonne!
