Everything Is Interesting When You Draw It
Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!
Last week, I shared my love for the Pilot Parallel Pen, and I hope it helped clear up any questions you had about it.
Today's video is a short time lapse of a drawing I did with the parallel pen (which I told about in last week's video), paired with watercolors – my favorite combo!
I enjoy the pen's unpredictable and organic lines, using both its flat and pointy sides for variety.
Sometimes you may not feel inspired - you just don't know WHAT to draw. Remember that everything becomes interesting once you start drawing it. So, grab your sketchbook and pen – even your art tools will be great subjects.
Drawing feeds your soul and nurtures your creativity, making you happier. You deserve that time, so give yourself permission to fill a page or two.
Your assignment this week:
Let this quick video inspire you to pick up your sketchbook and draw, even if it's just for a few minutes.
