Daily Chicken Scratchings

This collective blog is so dead isn't it? I really should get around to cleaning up my own blog and setting things up, but until then, have some art and some vaguely philosophical writings on your screen.

Part of my challenge this year is to spend less time thinking about drawing and more time actually drawing. Life drawing, tonal study, pr0n drawing, crappy doodles... anything to get my hand-eye coordination going.

It actually feels pretty good to draw on crappy cheap paper with no expectations whatsoever other than some (feeble) attempt at thinking and studying the shape etc etc.... less pressure to put down a masterpiece in my precious sketchbook. :D

This is the January 2011 batch (starting from the 18th), a doodle or more every day with the exception of weekends when I'm usually AFS (away from sketchbook).

It's actually a lot harder than I thought, to have to consciously make time in my day to just "draw" for no purpose whatsoever. But feels good, like exercise. XD
