Daily Doodle Diary #20
Added 2020-12-15 17:46:42 +0000 UTCHi peeps,
How are you all?
It has been a little while since I shared a batch of Daily Doodles!
I have no been doing great with keeping up with them, in all honesty.
Not only was I a little sickly the past couple of weeks because of my iron deficiency, I have also hit a strong bout of burnout, and have been feeling a bit apathetic. Getting myself motivated to pick any task up has been incredibly hard, ESPECIALLY creative ones.
I am slowly feeling better, particularly since I started taking supplements again, and am gradually ticking things off the to-do list, which I am very glad about!
I was hoping to finish 2020 on a completed month of doodles, but things don't always go to plan, and that's ok too.
I still like the few pieces I managed to complete, and I think my favourites from this batch are the 7-8 spread.
Do you have favourites from this batch?
Because I lacked energy a lot throughout the last few weeks, I didn't try to come up with new ideas for each page, and instead, I focused on images from reference, usually landscapes that made me feel peaceful and calm.
I started by drawing with my felt pens, and ultimately tried using coloured pencils, and I really developed a taste for the effects that can be achieved with them when drawing landscapes.
Exploring something a little different to my usual process felt refreshing and energising, and made me enjoy the doodle routine more than if I had tried pushing my brain to come up with new concepts.
I hope you enjoyed this little series, and that you are all well!
All my love,
M
