Doodle Away
If your like me, one of your new year’s resolutions is to pick back up that paper and pen and to finally make drawing a habit — you know, part of your everyday routine. Along those lines, I’ve found two great great books that really speak to the process of creating in this manner. Keys to Drawing with Imagination by Bert Dodson is about the most unusual and unique book on drawing I’ve seen in a while — how many books devote the entire first chapter to the process of doodling? Another great read is Danny Gregory’s The Creative License. He concentrates much more on journaling and how it should be a part of your everyday life. Afterall, our observations reflect the way in which we engage with life. Finally, if you need some artistic inspiration, head over to Drawn! and marvel at the artistic and creative illustrations submitted in this blog everyday.
