With an Illustration Friday prompt like "Reflect" and the New Year fast approaching, I can't help but think back over the past year.
This year would have been my last year in Art School, but for various reasons, I decided to step away from school. It was a hard decision at first, but reflecting on the year, I think it's was exactly what I needed.
I enjoy the predictability of academic drawing and now I can see that can be both good and bad. It wasn't until I stepped away from it, and out of my comfort zone, that I could find my own style.
Taking a moment to reflect on the past year I realized (or remembered, depending how you look at it):
Sometimes it's more fun to ignore the 'rules' and just play in your sketchbook.
