drawing | pollinator

i am now well over halfway year one of cartoon classes. i'll admit my enthusiasm has been somewhat clouded by my laidback attitude. at the best of times i'm a buyer for deadlines, so i keep on thinking all-the-time-in-the-world, and i spend another three blissful hours in the kitchen. i'm beginning to understand that if i don't get the work done, i'll sweat for it on short notice. and i find the latter no option.

so at regular intervals on the commute, loose papers and notebooks will fill the seat next to me. somehow i still have fun sketching while being shaken by train movements. on that note, i find drawing at home ever so elective at the best of times. i find the remoteness of my studio daunting, and my drawing table unappealing, to the point of uninspiring.

i know all i have to do is focus, and get started. to push myself forward and to get myself accustomed to my cartoon characters, i decided to introduce them to our drawing challenges. may i remind you on the spot i am reluctantly lifting myself out of my comfort zone here. i expect to fall prone to withdrawal symptoms before long. i hope not though.

what surprises me vastly in this process is how i have a desire to shine, all while ignoring this eagerness needs constant exercise. no better way than to challenge myself right into one-off cartoon/illustration efforts. i've given the {pollinator} theme a gentle tug on the ear and introduce y'all to nonna and her own stubborn way {i wonder who she's taking after}. tammie's spring pollinators! more castle here.
