I was totally ambitious to get the ball rolling and then something happened I didn't expect. I lost momentum and hit a brick wall. It took me a few days to realize that my old daily art life was missing in the equation. I didn't realize the routine of being physically creative each day was a "habit".
Physical art and digital designing are totally different animals. With designs as I was using them they weren't my own. I would take digital pieces and create with them. But the habit of actually using my drawing or printing skills went to sleep during the past four or so years.
I've learned that new habits form after doing them for 30+ days. Today is day one. No pressure to myself, I've decided to either at least draw or sketch once a day. No limits and any subject that moves me is fair game. Perhaps in this way I'll expand on the days I feel inspired.
For today the drawing is a simple troubled gnome. He's a bit worried looking but that is no fault of mine. That's just what is became in the 15 minutes it took to sketch him. I do like sketching gnomes so don't be surprised if you see him again.
