I’m having so much fun playing around with these watercolors for the upcoming post.
I’m working on a new story. I made the first panel this morning, and I really don’t like it. It’s really stiff and just not fun at all. I have to figure out what to change so I can make something more to my liking. 
In the past months I have spent a lot of time copying from photos and children’s books. My favorite book illustrator is Helen Oxenbury. I am learning a lot about line from her marvelous illustrations. 
When I try to really draw, my drawings kind of fall apart. My confidence fails. My drawing regresses. 
Even if I stick with my naive style, I still have to learn a lot more about drawing.
I have started to look at other people’s work. This is a drawing I did based on Danny Gregory’s approach. It’s interesting, but it’s not me.
About 4 months ago I stopped illustrating. I’d lost interest, confidence and inspiration. I’m ready to find the road back. This blog will trace the contours of my path back to telling stories through drawings.
