Want to hear something weird? I'm scared of drawing. Yeah, stupid, huh. Especially with being an artist and all. But it's true. I have been since I was about...15 I think. I get stage fright. I have all these wonderful ideas for designs and fantasize about drawing them up, but then if I have a bit of time to do it, I procrastinate out of fear that I'm crap at drawing. Which, actually, I'm not. My brain is just a bit mean and tells me that I am. Thankfully I cajoled myself into some sketchbook time this week, thoroughly enjoyed it and even went so far as to paint them too! I'm hoping to turn these into digital decals. These new vases will be available at The Flower Studio on Bucks Road in Douglas, from now 'til Mother's Day! Big thanks to Heidi.

your drawings are lovely and i TOTALLY get what you mean about being afraid of drawing, and i'm an illustrator! talk about irony -_- i'm terrified of drawing from scratch, i need sketch lines as a base to create my lineart. i mean i'm fine once i've been sketching for a while on a very messy piece of paper covered in rough ideas but confront me with a blank sketchbook or a big blank canvas/board and i balk! i can see it so vividly in my head but i'm afraid i'll ruin the piece of paper when i try to draw the ideas out of my head. it's gotten to the point where i'm more confident drawing on the computer using a trackpad than i am using pen and paper (i think the 'undo' button is to blame for that though). maybe i should root out my pencils and a sketchpad, i think you've inspired me to be a bit braver! :D xX
