2021: Don't Look Back
This will be my third attempt at the year-long daily creative project. But, having gone through two previous attempts, I think I have learned something very important that may possibly help me succeed this time. I think my Bug-a-Day projects were just too ambitious (yes, some were horrible rush jobs, but others took hours, and I always began them thinking I needed to make something good even if it didn't turn out that way...in other words, sometimes I stressed myself out about it). Additionally, sometimes I'd spend what felt like an hour just looking for a good insect subject to draw.
So, new rules this time. I will draw *something* *anything* daily. And it can take just a few minutes, or if I feel so bold, an all-day painting session to create something finished.
So here is a cat.
I'm tired and it took just a minute or two to draw.
Yay! Day 1 complete!
Why do I keep bothering with this? Daily art practice helps improve your skills. I let mine go idle far too often and I get rusty. So I'm hoping to get back into the flow of things.
Happy New Year!
