January Sketches

As some of you may know, one of my New Year's resolutions was to sketch or draw everyday. My goal was to create a visual journal, a final collection of ideas for myself. However, retrospectively I began to struggle with the task. I credited that to the fact that I was busy, and sadly was just not making time for myself.

However, I seem to have found the solution for myself by making things harder. Well, maybe not harder, but at least more involved. See, I had been making my sketches with a standard ink pen. Strictly black and white. I did this mostly for availability, but retrospectively I realize it has been hurting me. I don't paint in black and white, and I certainly don't dream in black and white, so why was I doing this to myself?

Starting this afternoon, my sketchbook is now going to be presented in technicolor. Until then, enjoy a selection of my sketches from January.
