Such a lovely painting to symbolize the completion of sharing your artwork every single day for a WHOLE year Scrawly. As many have already commented it's not something that many people would be capable or able to do but you've kept that burning desire alive ~ And as a result your work and most likely your entire being has strengthened and bloomed.
Your work has improved so much over the year. Especially since you started going back to hand drawn and painted work. I remember seeing the first drawing ~ A still life, and really admiring it ~ And now your graphic skills and knowledge and love of game characters combined with watercolour has a uniqueness all of its own. Your determination and growth has also been such an inspiration for me personally, wanting/needing to start painting once again but hardly knowing how or where to start.
I've been mulling this over for sometime and your advice has made it easier to actually state now: For one week, I'll draw/paint every day and share whatever happens. And go from there. Like
@bdmillergallery there are days when my time is very limited ~ But somehow I'll allow for those days.
I truly hope you enjoy the lifting of your self-imposed regime and that the new freedom will bring something new again into whatever you do. It's important to have breaks and the feeling of not being obligated to 'perform' will enable you to fail and learn on a whole new level again. Many blessings on your new creative journey Scrawly. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
Ally, you're such a great treasure of Steemit <3.
Your knowledge, integrity, kindness, beautiful and soulful approach to life have certainly made me feel fortunate to know you. I am glad that my journey has inspired you, and I am happy to know that we will see your post everyday for at least a week. That sounds exciting to me ^_^.
Being released from my personal obligation to draw and post everyday still feels alien to me. Relieved for sure but there's also a feeling of uneasiness as if I ought to be more productive since I didn't finish a picture yesterday. It's definitely the habit kicking in, I guess that's good because I still want to grow a lot more as an artist. And I also wonder what will happen now, as a person I am definitely more productive when I have a strict schedule to follow, but I also know that I couldn't do that daily regime forever. I'll stop worrying for now and just enjoy my break. The future is always an unknown factor, scary and exciting at the same time :).
