make more art

I am great at daily drawing, hence marking “draw daily” complete. I would like to start making some larger, stand alone pieces not in a sketchbook. Things that I could maybe frame or sell.

I changed my schedule at work so I now leave one hour earlier. It gives me more time in the evening to sketch. My current goal is 1 hour of sketching every weeknight and 3-4 hours each day painting or doing more detailed work on Sat and Sun. I have basically banned the tv from my life for the time being, but the internet is still a major issue. In fact, I should be sketching right now!

I’ve been keeping track of my art making activities via a small grid on a piece of cardstock. The grid is of the 12 months with a space for each day. On any day that I draw or paint, I color in the square with a random color. So far, July has been my most productive month.

I am on vacation at the moment and I’ve been doing more work, but not nearly as much as I’d like to be doing.

I’ve done a lot of sketching lately, but nothing serious and time consuming. I think that will have to wait until January when I will be off from school and laid off from my job.

I’ve been doing a lot of art these days now that I am off from school and work. However, I start my new job soon and I won’t have as much time.
