I love hummingbirds so I was thrilled when one magically appeared in today’s automatic drawing! Here is a short video of me drawing the scene— a hummingbird with the special little friend she just made.
I hope you enjoy the time lapse video!
A Short (and sweet) Video of Today's “Morning Page” →
I cleared my mind and my desk, gathered my drawing materials, and sat down in front of a blank piece of paper to work on my Morning Pages. I often place the pen directly to paper rather than sketching in pencil first when I begin drawing, letting the pen travel where it wants, to allow the images in my subconscious to spill onto the paper. Not only is it fun to see what I’ve drawn after I’ve drawn it, but it’s also a great way to work on my perfectionism tendencies. (I can’t erase any lines!) This morning I decided to record a short video so I could share part of my process with you. I started by placing the pen directly to paper, but once an image started to take form, I did a little bit of pencil sketching to fill it out. I hope you enjoy my behind-the-scenes video!
