Almost to the day... it was actually May 6, 2011 when I posted my first attempt at drawing again..."pen to paper". Until then I spent all my time "wishing I could" but I was too embarrassed to even try.
In my brain I couldn't do it so I refused to try, until I made up my mind to "JUST DO IT!"
Here's what I came up with that first time:
...not a lot of art...but OK for doodles :-).... Honestly, I think that was the trick, ANYTHING is OK as long as you call it a doodle, right? ... It's a D-O-O-D-L-E after all!
There are no rules in Doodling so ANYBODY can do it!

Good for you! I am still struggling with blank page fear, but I am getting better...practicing my lettering, and my backgounds. Soon I will draw again.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny! I literally just finished printing out some dot paper to practice lettering. I'm trying to design a tablet that I can just grab and run with so I always have something to practice while "waiting" somewhere...like when having my oil changed or taking someone to the doctor. I like to be able to see a font and practice it. ... maybe I'll be done today and post my idea tonight. I have been wondering how you are doing with Joanne's class. Curious how you like it? (honestly)
ReplyDeleteI get frustrated and rip my attempts up...I'm really very talented IN MY HEAD! haha I like your doodles! All of 'em.
ReplyDeleteNO! BR, you shouldn't toss those! They are great to have around so you can see your progress a year later! Not only are mine a great example of that but I had a friend that I taught how to make cards (when I sold SU!).... the first one was AWWWWFUL! (I actually used it as an example in my demos) but she got much better than me after a while! SAVE those!
