I did my daily drawing in Waterstone’s Cafe, having a cup of coffee late this afternoon after getting stir crazy back at the studio. Daily drawing for me is like a singer practicing their scales each day. It’s fundamental to my practice as a visual artist. But sometimes the drawing doesn’t come out right, just like sometimes a singer will be off-tune. I didn’t get the proportions right between the woman and the pillar in front of her. Never mind. I’ll carry on…….
Out Of Tune

I'm an artist / printmaker / scribbler. I love drawing and all the geeky stuff associated with printmaking, working in a figurative style. I live in Wales with husband and demented cats. And my real name is Rose Davies :D View more posts

Yep – good attitude. Sometimes sketches work and sometimes not, its the ‘doing’ that is important.
Certainly is
The thing is: you’re doing it. And that’s more important than not drawing daily.
Troo dat:)
It’s really impressive that you sketch every day. Thumbs up! 😀
Thank you 🙂
Thats a really good way of putting it Rosie.. I like it !
🙂
I love this attitude – it doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s the “doing it” that matters.
Happy and safe travels!
Thank you, Mary. It’s the practice and discipline that matter 🙂
I agree, daily drawing is our scales…though I’m a lazy singer and like to get mine done in five minutes!
Yes me too. 🙂
How long till Pakisan?
A week 🙂
