Lately I’ve had a hard time finding motivation and have been putting off necessary chores and also sketching. I used to get a lot of work done after I got home from work every day, but for the past few months I have been so exhausted that I have been spending all evening recouping and mentally preparing myself for the next day. I think it might be because it is winter because I felt like I had a lot more energy in the summertime.
For the past few days I have been trying out the Twenty Minute Trick that Michael Nobbs talked about in one of his “micro-podcasts.” It has been very helpful for me when doing boring things like picking up my laundry and unloading the dishwasher. I have yet to try it for sketching but I’m planning to attempt that today.
About the image: I sketched this from a photo that Chris snapped of me while I was lounging in bed and talking on my phone. Although it is a horribly unflattering angle, it was great practice in foreshortening.
