So, I've decided to slow it down a bit. I realized that I was "creating" too much pressure on myself to make a good drawing everyday. I think this mentality of production can make the work somewhat forced, and lacking in spontaneity.
I am still promoting the idea of making art for art's sake, but I don't want the work to lose the fun. I still will post everyday but may post something like what I'm posting today, this little picture I took when I decided to organize my supplies. Sometimes, I really like going through everything and remembering what I have to work with. I recently started volunteering at a place that supports adult artists with developmental disorders. I see how they take so much pride in their work and their materials. It has inspired me to really focus on my space and to create a little more order in my creative space. I think this also creates a little more order in my mind.
I hope to draw more today and possibly post later but for now, I like the idea of posting inspiration and ideas as well as actual work.
