i keep thinking that what i ought to do is pick one thing and do it do it do it to build skill at it. like photography. take pictures every day. or knit, knit every day. i used to knit almost every day on the subway when i was making my socks. but since i started the noro scarf, i haven’t been coz it’s not as portable. anyway. so i keep thinking i need to pick one thing and just practice practice practice so i can be good at something. i dunno why i want to be good at something, but i do.
problem is, i can never just pick one thing. so i bought that new lens for my camera, and took some photos. but now it’s been really grey and rainy and i’m not feeling inspired to take pictures. instead i feel inspired to learn illustrator. yesterday a torrent of ideas came tumbling (into?) out of my brain and i sketched them down in my notebook and decided that learning illustrator would be the best way to turn them into something good.
but when i thinking about drawing (i used to a lot a lot as a kid), i feel that photography could help me become better in illustrator. photography is developing my eye, my style. and that will translate to art i may create in illustrator.
so maybe it’s all good in the end?
