The biggest hurdle in the first week is identifying enemies to my creative self-worth. To face them head on and realize I'm not the only one to "blame" for my self doubt. Then we have to list champions. This was a bit easier. Remembering the good is always easier. The best task of week one was one of the last ones. If you had 5 other lives to lead, what would you choose? My choices were:
- singer
- animator
- astronaut
- martial artist
- store owner
My artist's date was a trip to Michael's. I slowly perused almost every aisle. In the end, I bought myself a new sketchbook, colored pencils, and stencil paints and daubers. These will be perfect supplies for future artist dates. I may even post a few of my new creations here.
I'm glad you're relaxing about "the rules", and adapting them to suit your life.
ReplyDeleteSounds like your first week, even if it did take a while, got you started off on the right foot. It will be great if you feel like sharing some of your new work here or over on dA. I think it's important to get your stuff "out there" because it takes on a life of its own once it is out of your hands. Remember: your job is to create and try not to be too judgmental. If you're like me, it's sometimes hard for you to see the value of your work by the time you are done with it, 'cause you're already tired of it! ;)
Good luck with week two. Let us know how that's going.
