A drawing a day (for play)
by Jo Grant
Myself and a few friends recently decided to start a ‘drawing a day’ project (a suggestion inspired by a similar project I was following on Instagram – go follow the great and wonderful @eleanorvee to see what I mean).
Apart from being fun (the main reason for doing this) and giving me a small space each day for creative focus, this little project is testing my drawing skills. I need to develop them, push them a bit further….get them back again. My approach so far has been to draw on any scrap of paper I find in the studio and to choose found objects. I’m enjoying it so far, disasters and all.
Here’s a few ‘drawing a day’ projects by amazing people: ‘One drawing a day’, ‘Drawing a day for a year‘, ‘One drawing each day‘, and here at Lauren Nassef.
Jo your drawings are great and I love how you have really varied the subject matter to make it more challenging and interesting for you!! Very admirable and disciplined.
Ah, that gives me an idea, stick to one subject matter (ha). Thanks for the comment Sandra, very kind coming from such a good illustrator. I hope to keep playing some more…
