Motivation
Sunday, November 24, 2013
The first step of the project was to choose a phrase or quote to draw. This step took me approximately one million years. I couldn't think of a single thing I liked enough to commit to paper.
Eventually I grew frustrated with my paralysing inability to make even the most minor decision and told myself to just fucking write something. So the phrase I decided on was "Just fucking write something." Naturally.
Today, I wanted to share my final, beautiful, hand-drawn phrase with you. Except, inevitably, I haven't fucking finished it. I powered through the next few steps of the project (you can see my half-arsed attempt here, if you like) then came to a sputtering stop.
Clearly, I should have picked "Just fucking draw something" instead.

Inspiration images for my project found mainly through Pinterest and saved to my hand-lettering board. I know I should credit every single one but, frankly, life's too short.

For my thirtieth birthday I was given some beautiful paints and drawing equipment by one of my closest friends, encouraging me to try and use, or rather develop, a different artistic skill. The thing is, I loved painting and drawing as a kid until I realised I wasn't very good at it. I really want to take a stab at painting or drawing soon and am thinking of taking a basic class to help next year.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing the results of your 'fucking drawing' session.
Also, amazing collage of images there. Just fantastic.
DeleteI signed up for this too, couldn't think if a word, got completely overwhelmed and gave up. Just looking on your Skill Share page has given me motivation to fucking do something. So, thank you!
