I can’t believe I’m working on daily drawing #122. I’m afraid to take a day off in case I lose momentum.

Artist Lori Fillo and I have set up a gallery page showcasing 20 of our daily drawings – 10 each of our favourites, or at least 10 that we’re reasonably comfortable with displaying. And we’re going to keep going! In fact, Lori’s just texted her latest (I sent mine earlier today for a change). I’m not going to wax on about how helpful and supportive this exchange has been, but I would recommend it to anyone, particularly for artists like me who struggle to keep a practice going while holding down a “day” job. Sometimes it’s hard but it’s amazing what you can come up with even when time is limited (and even if it’s just a quick sketch on your phone. Yes, I’ve done this.) I’ve pleasantly surprised myself upon occasion, and I have to admit my composition has improved big time.

The drawings are “as is”, not colour-corrected, not adjusted in any way – just as we texted them to one another. Authenticity, right? Here’s the link to the “A Drawing A Day” Gallery.
