I thought the ear of corn would take a long time, but it was pretty quick.

I am drawing a page every day. And it’s not always easy. I often sigh…and I feel resistance. But forcing myself to do it (and publish it!) is good for me. I’m strengthening my artist’s voice. The leopard is cross-eyed. The cowboy looks more like an ape than Clint Eastwood. It’s all Ok. Makes me laugh.



I blog daily to hold myself accountable. I have not attended art school and probably never will (although…never say never)! My primary goal is to exercise creativity in a positive way and in writing my third book I want to try something new. I learned about this from creativebug.com’s Lindsay Stripling’s daily practice lesson. My subscription to creativebug.com is the BEST $8/month I’ve ever spent.
I’m going to keep a conceptual sketchbook and work on it each day, even if I have a super busy day, I’ll make a simple doodle to keep it going.

I used tracing paper. Super cool. Felt like cheating as I drew, but then I realized I was able to draw at a level of detail I’m not used to. We’ve found four scorpions in the house and one in the pool thus far.
