First Illustration Anyday


I decided to post this illustration that I did of myself. I started drawing on post-its the other day just because I actually had a single creative thought in my head. This is how I feel after lunch at Moe's on a humid day in May... me, with frizz-head and fully tummy! It wasn't exactly all that creative but it was enough to push me to draw... SHOCKER! I've been sooo slack lately about doing traditional artwork. I can't even remember the last time that I picked up a pencil to draw something. I've become so dependent on my mouse as my drawing tool. It's a little bit embarrassing.

Obviously you can see that my skillzzzz aren't as great as they used to be. I'm slightly rusty. So excuse the crappy post-it drawing. BUT, it's a start. And it's something that I actually did a follow up post-it drawing... not related to this drawing in anyway but a it's a second piece to this series that I hope to do. The second is to be posted later!

As I promised myself before, I'm going to actually try to do Illustration Friday from now on but because I'm slack and draw on a very sporadic schedule, I've created Illustration Anyday. I'll try to remind myself that it really doesn't take very long to do a drawing based on a topic, especially when given a week to produce a drawing. Illustration Anyday will be just for me, when I feel the urge. I'll probably stick to post-its because they are readily available to me on most days. Hopefully this won't be something that I drop before it's even begun. Wish me luck!

Well well well...

This lasted a long time.
A whole week!

Hopefully I'll pick it up again soon.

UGH!


This is getting ridiculous.
I'm so tired... worn out...
I can't take this much longer.

Last Week

Last week was a totally.... MESS.

We finally got the Macs in... I'm so excited to really start using them. In fact, it's SuperBowl Sunday... and I'm getting ready to start my very first design project on it. I've been setting up the email all weekend and last week I transfered all of my files over. I think I can actually be productive this week, at least more than I was last week. So hopefully I can pick up this blog where I left it last week... but with a fresh start, showing work produced on my new apple! Thank goodness!!

Back to work. I hate working on the weekends.

Still up... Still working.

It's Monday night / Tuesday morning and I've been working since 10am... and it's now 3am. That's what? 17 hours straight. I didn't even take a lunch. I did however stop working for dinner and I just fell asleep at the computer while I was waiting for something to process. I don't remember the last time I looked at the clock before I fell asleep. I'm getting kind of tired of these late nights. All work and no play makes Danielle a very cranky girl!

Well, no Daily Design for Friday. No Daily Design yet today... will post one in the morning, as in after I wake up, which means no Monday post. Boo for me.

Today was one of the most frustrating days I've had in a while and it just won't end!!
