Does anyone else get that? It’s like a sort of stage fright. An art fright! That happens to me sometimes now. When I give myself time to draw for fun, I freeze up! Sometimes from not knowing what to draw and other times with my own self-inflicted pressure of wanting to produce something “good”. The way I get around it now is immerse myself with things I love to kick myself out of that mind space. Whether it’s using music or researching something I love and getting lost in it. Soon enough, I forget about the “art fright” and get into drawing.
After tonight’s art fright, I ended up with this. It started with wanting to draw an old painter and then I remembered Vermeer and his funny hats. One thing led to another and I ended up with these three musketeers which I really like! I’m happy I stuck it out.
