Poorly

Sketch a day - Day 76/365

I hit my deadline and came straight down with a horrible cold. I am feeling very sorry for myself. Which means I am basically fine. Just need to have some rest.

Nonetheless, I really couldn't be bothered to draw anything this evening. I just grabbed my phone and the paracetamol that was in front of me and thought ‘this will do’.

Even when I am rushing a quick sketch and feel like I don't have time, usually, once I start, I have a nice time. Or kind of get caught up in it. Even if it's just like a moment of forgetting everything apart from focusing on the next line.

But tonight there wasn't any joy. Just grumpiness. And then I realised that I started the drawing and it wasn't going to fit on the page. Usually I would have started again. But tonight I just thought, I don't care. So I drew what I could see until I hit the end of the page. So much for framing.

Here we are.

Some days are poorly days.

At least I hit my deadline.

And that's the news.
