Fledgeling (self-portrait)


This is my current view of my creative self. And it is empowering to have made this sketch. When I think now of all the self-doubt and negativity that kept me from pursuing art for years I feel renewed. I have a new vision. I realise the futility of all that self-criticism. Now, I understand that the pursuit of art is embedded in hard work, practice and fun. That each and every one of us has an abundant capacity for creativity waiting to be explored. I am humbled and inspired by all the talent and the dedication of my newfound flickr friends. I am so glad to be drawing again. And I feel like flight will come. Sketch in HB pencil, I hit the 'sepia' button after scanning.
