New Drawings

I have picked up drawing again, as I knit all day for work. These are very satisfying to draw. They start as doodles, when I am in a situation with a notebook and my head starts to wonder. The one with the lines started to take over my notebook page when I was in a seminar for Education Health and Safety Law training and the other one was when I went to a pub and the football was on. See I didn't say "to watch football". I can't really force these drawings, so I suppose I should start attending lectures and seminars so often to get this drawing flow going. I do enjoy listening some lectures, I find things interesting, but I have never been very good just sitting still quietly. For example, I don't really choose to go to a cinema for very often. Sitting in a dark room quietly for two hours- waste of time. If it wasn't for other people, I don't think I'd go to a cinema, probably never.. Though funnily I like watching films very much. I wonder what that's about.

But anyways, here is the drawings:

Drawings

Recently I have been taking on drawing again. I think every artists should keep up with their drawing skills as it does fade away when its not practiced regularly. I noticed that my skills are a bit rusty after a long period of focusing on learning different mediums. It is weird how I have been studying art at the university for several years now and actually haven't practiced drawing. It seems that many artists have taken drawing back in to their practice. I have always enjoyed drawing and I am glad that I started it properly again. Many of the drawings I show in this post are based on things what I seem to "doodle" on the corner of notes in the lectures or other things I draw when I am just passing time. I have plans to print these on fabric with silk screen, pillow cases maybe,-saying this I have just revealed what my christmas presents to some people might be, but I hope they are so good that it wont matter that I spoiled the surprise!

Here I want to put a comment what my tutor said which was : "It is a little bit like knitting". It has been very time consuming and detailed, but that seems to be the thing I love doing.
