As a warm up exercise I often close my eyes and let the pen go wild on the page. Then I try to find something among the scribbles. These guys emerged this morning

When I did my art foundation course, we were all handed a sketchbook at the start of the year. It quickly became a bit competitive. You'd see what everyone else was doing and think, "mine isn't as good as theirs!!" I got blank page paralysis. 😱 Some days I was so worried about what to put on the page that I couldn't put anything at all. 😔 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙞𝙣. A piece of brown paper, something torn out of a magazine, anything. Once something was on the page, it wasn't blank anymore, and I could just add to it. That sketchbook ended up really fat and full of interesting things! I still do it now, and that's why I make these. 🍂 - - - - - - - - - - 𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗬 𝗕𝗜𝗥𝗗𝗦 & 𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗦 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗶𝘅 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸.
