DrawTogether with WendyMac ‘s 30 days of drawing challenge has been such a joyful ride.
Three unexpected delights:
Learning about the artists behind each daily prompt. I even ended up buying Making Comics by Lynda Barry.
Drawing my first comic selfie, never thought I could finish one in just 10 minutes.
Drawing everyday things with stories, boots, a teacup, a set of keys, brought back small, fond memories.
Two cool discoveries:
I can draw with my non-dominant hand, turns out they’re not bad at all, some are even better than my dominant-hand drawings.
Bilateral drawing is such a great way to loosen up. After a 3–5 minute warm-up, my right-hand drawing feels much more relaxed.
Seeds
A bunch of my sketches are off, even total misses. Those failed attempts gave me a taste of creative directions I hadn’t thought much about, like visual storytelling, or didn’t even know existed, like abstract comics. They’re seeds, some may grow someday.
