A little bit about #drawing every day.

Lately, I’ve really started to enjoy different kinds of challenges, like “drawing every day for...

But if you don’t give up and keep reminding yourself that you’re doing it mainly for fun, it becomes much easier. I don’t choose challenges longer than a month, because I’m pretty sure I would burn out quickly. Right now, I really like the format where I take a short break for a few days after each challenge until I feel ready to dive into something new again.

A little bit about #drawing every day. Lately, I’ve really started to enjoy different kinds of challenges, like “drawing every day for a month.” Surprisingly, at first it feels like pressure: you have to draw something every single day. And if you don’t have the energy, inspiration, or everything just turns out wrong - your inner critic immediately grabs a flag and starts a whole parade 😅

I’m glad that lately I’ve really gotten into art challenges and I'm managing to hit my own deadlines without missing a day I can seriously feel a major impact from #drawing every single day 👩🏻‍🎨

8/10 Today, surprisingly, I felt a sense of ease while #painting. I’m even quite happy with the result, which rarely happens!

Plein air in the neighborhood The roof looks as if it’s divided into two parts, with the second one curved in perspective… but actually, the roof was flat. There was just this line in the middle, as if it had been made from two different pieces. I couldn’t really show it accurately 😅 #paint #watercolor
