I haven't been the type of artist who can open up a sketchbook and just draw for a while now. I always feel like I really have to commit to the drawing instead of just being able to let my pencil go freely. Probably in the past five years I've noticed it's getting harder for me to loosen up with my drawings and not worry about how it comes out. But, in an attempt to push aside my need for perfection, every now and again I try to make the extra effort to pop open my sketchbook and doodle whatever my hearts wants. Something quick and not too fussy.
It's about that time where I go through one of these phases again and hopefully, I'll be doodling a lot more now that I'm trying to post more often and consistently on the social media. But anyways, I quite liked how my sketch came out, so I thought I'd share it with you lovely folks.
It's embarrassing to admit how many times I reached for the edit-undo button on my keyboard while I sketched this out. Similarly to what @bryan-imhoff described a while back in a post, I've been so used to the shortcuts and luxuries I have when drawing on a tablet, that I forgot I actually had to use my pencil eraser if I wanted to undo a mistake. Maybe I wouldn't have instinctually done this so often had I not been sketching at my work desk right next to my laptop. Who's to say?
I should make a drawing drinking game. Take one shot every time you go to hit "command" + "z" on your sketchbook. Down your whole drink if you nearly wrote on your tablet with an actual marker.
Anyways, thanks for stopping by and until next time!
