Almost There

It’s coming along …

 
I’ve always wanted to just fill a canvas with doodles and drawings, of flowers or anything that might resemble a drawing, but none has turned out the way what I had in mind. Advice from the forums – and which I had also suspected was my problem – was to slow down, take your time.

 

 

So, after hours of sitting in meetings, or just to relax my mind a little during mini-breaks in the office, I’ve managed to fill two half-pages of doodling.  I stuck with flowers, or flower-like doodles … that’s where my sub-conscious took my brain and hand, so I just let it draw what it felt like drawing.

I’ve started on the shading, feeling the need to fill in all white spaces again.  There’s times when I’ve stared at it trying to decide what or where the next pattern should be, only to come up with the same thing.  So okay, continue with it.  If my brain wants to draw the same patterns over and over, so be it.

I was surprised when I unfolded the sheet of paper and this came out … oh!  Two completely different designs, and yet it looks like one!  I’m liking this …

 

 

It actually looks like a different drawing to me now. And now that I see what it looks like overall, my brain is spinning on how to tie it all together.

But I probably shouldn’t even think about it … my brain will tell my hand to draw the same things, anyway!  😉
