It's that wonderful time again where I get to share two awesome creations by yours truly and my super talented amiga! Last week, we chose whimsical animals to try to challenge the fantasy/child-like part of our brain mass. As always, the idea of these challenges is not so much to agree on a style or to achieve any particular look in general. They're designed to push us creatively and even to frustrate us a bit so that we can become better artists and storytellers.
II actually found this challenge particularly hard for me. I couldn't come up with any design that made enough sense or that matched regarding design styles. It also didn't help I was managing a little human being sick and wanting my attention every two seconds. Take a deep breath in and don't give up. I had to literally tell myself that as I saw the days flying by and not a drop or hint from the universe was presenting itself.
Finally, I realized that maybe I was actually trying too hard to make something happen and not just letting my creative side rule the hand and paper. I came across a beautiful IG feed that had all types of incredible embroidery which were precisely the spark I needed to get to drawing.
So there you have it! Don't forget to head over to my wonderful sidekick's Instagram to take a look at her great work!
Enjoy, share, comment, or anything else that comes to mind and remember, if you have a fresh challenge in mind, feel free to leave a small message and we will get to it! Hearts from the rainy city.
