Contemplating

I've been contemplating doing something different and perhaps learning how the shadows work instead of just planting them wherever I please.

Illustration Friday - Island

Once upon a time in a conversation with a (then good now ex) friend I said "I love to travel" to which she quickly replied "You always say that, but how would you know ? You never go anywhere!"

My first instinct was to come here and write that I love islands, but I know better these days. It's been ages since I've been on an island, so how would I know?

I do love Google Earth, though. No doubts about that. I particularly love to explore small remote islands, zoom in and search for houses, roads and boats. It makes me feel like a kid looking for a hidden treasure. Hopefully, one day I'll find my way to some of those beautiful places.

Gossip

Another non-art pen doodle from my sketchbook. I had no plans or intentions before I started, just started putting lines together and kept on waiting to see what will come out of it. At this point I am not attempting to make art. I am letting myself be creative and relieving some stress while I am at it.

Illustration Friday - Clutter

Cluttered creations help declutter the mind. That's how it works for me these days. There were times, though, when all the dots and dashes would have annoyed me to bits.

Pixie

I am taking Dr. Cindy's advice and putting aside some creative time, even if it's just a few minutes like today.

This is a quick watercolor done on sketch paper. Inspired by Alex. Lots of dots in his one, too. My recent fascination by spots of all sizes and colors is so far unexplained.

The scan is a bit blurry, but I am too lazy to make another one.

Attention

It's time for me to start paying attention to the finer things in life again. Being creative, for example.

For a start, a new sketch for my little sketchbook.

Everyone who sent me encouraging messages in recent weeks, thanks! That means so much, it helped me get through the rough days. You are precious.
