In the spirit of #mentalhealthawareness week this is one of a series of drawings from life I did of the lambs this time last year. I think it is really important to be mindful when I am drawing this is a really hard thing for me to do... drawing mindfully I try to be completely present, suspend judgement, be gentle with myself throughout the drawing, respond to each mark i make and stay in the moment enjoying the feel of the ink moving over the paper. Drawing helps me to REALLY see things even if the drawing is a series of loose marks at the end of the drawing I have a much deeper awareness and understanding of my subject...
