One year when I wasn't drawing regularly, I started a dwg book following the saying "nulla dies sine linea" (not a day without a line originally referred to drawing but can be interpreted to mean a line of writing as well). Sometimes I drew only a line, sometimes more, then there were times I cheated a did a week's worth of lines after the fact. However, I kept this up until it jump started me into working again.

Is that Latin? ( I was taught by an ancient nun, so it didn't stick too well 🙄) Thank you, I think that's right. Some days it all seems silly and pointless with all that's going on in the world, but to focus your brain on something creative,( something other than the horror) provides a little respite. Keep drawing! XX
