i made a resolution.

do not fail, as you go on, to draw something every day, for no matter how little it is, it will be well worthwhile, and it will do you a world of good. {cennini}



these are outcomes of super boring classes. they were all drawn my senior year in my school planner. i never thought about what i was drawing. i sometimes drew my teacher or my hand and sometimes i drew things from my imagination.

i wouldn't call myself a great drawer. but i love to sketch and the more i do it the better i become. i've realized how observing something and drawing it opens my eyes to what something really looks like. 

many of my sketches inspired my pieces for my ap portfolio and were actually used in pieces.

sketching is observing. i agree with cennini. no matter if you consider yourself an artist, i believe sketching will do you good. i don't usually make resolutions for the new year, but i have decided to make myself sketch everyday. no matter if it's on a napkin from moe's or on the back of my hand.
