Why is it that as kids when we were told to practice something, we”d roll our eyes and find a way of NOT practicing? Practice your flute … yeah, nah. Practice your maths algebra, definitely nah. Practice your softball throws, hmmm maybe. But as an adult, I draw almost every day. I am more than happy to pick up my pencil and creates marks on the page.

I guess I’m doing something I love and that makes practice a lot more palatable. In reality I don’t even see it as practice, I just really enjoy being creative. I really enjoy the problem solving, the mindfulness, the escapism that comes with drawing.

I also enjoy seeing where my daily practice takes me. What can I do next, how can I improve it, what am I inspired to try next. Here are my latest illustrations; results of daily practice 🙂
