Have you noticed how there usually comes a point in a project where the initial excitement has settled down and you reach a kind of plateau, and how bloody boring that can feel?

That.

Obviously I want every single day to be filled with glorious inspiration, fabulous ideas and endless motivation; for every stroke of my pen or pencil {or whatever I happen to be using that day} to be both deeply satisfying and to create drawings of unparalleled beauty.

I’m finding myself a little flat this week though, so not all of the drawings are living up to the demands of my ego! I’m grateful for the continuous thread a project like this gives me, and the continued lessons in self kindness, non judgement and non attachment to outcomes!

Favourite Item of Clothing :: my best effort this week by far! A recreation of my apron in pen, soft pastel and acrylics

In Motion :: Pen drawing of a hooper, drawn while watching a video

Nature :: Pen and watercolour pencils, semi blind contour

Still Life :: my favourite boots – pencil and watercolour pencil

Self Portrait :: Pen and watercolour pencil, taken from an upside down selfie {the socks are a far more accurate portrayal!}

Black and White :: charcoal, hard pastel and putty rubber

Pose :: ink and feather
