Description So, I’m take an art class online through Domestika about how to use your sketch book to hone your illustrations. It may seem silly, but I’m totally enjoying it so far. The first exercise was just to draw your art supplies free hand from life. I challenged myself not to underdraw in pencil, but just to be free and courageous and take it right to ink. This may not seem like much, but for me very freeing! The next exercise is to take your pen drawings and make fantastical pens with them. I am stupidly excited to start!

I know it’s kind of weird, but I spend so much of my art time worrying about the final product that it’s nice to just try stuff out and do practice exercises not really meant for anything. And I know I’ll get better just trying different styles and subjects on. It’s a fun course that was cheap—on sale for $13. Can’t really beat that!

I know. It’s my opportunity to remember not to assume things. 🙂
