Hey remember when I wrote about my New Year’s goals and one of them was how I wanted to fill a sketchbook page every week? And then I started doing that and posted a photo every week of my sketchbook? Well if you don’t, it’s probably because I did it like 4 times and then totally gave up. Gotta love New Year’s goals that last only for January…
Well, I’ve been following Jessalin Beutler on Twitter ever since I bought an adorable and beautifully painted dress from her online shop and she started this project called Art Everyday where she (as you may have guessed) makes art every single day.
For some reason, even though I couldn’t manage to put pen to paper once a week, making something everday seemed attainable. I still don’t understand the logic, because there is no logic in this, but I find setting aside a few minutes everyday just to play around in my sketchbook so much easier than “filling a page each week”.
Art everyday (in my opinion) is about feeling free to just scribble on a page one day, make giant ugly mistakes the next day, and maybe even create something you’re proud of the next day. When you experiment and make something you’re feeling blah about, there’s always tomorrow to start fresh. I felt a lot of pressure with the sketchbook page per week to create something good every week. Afterall, I had a whole week to complete it. Now, I love being able to experiment with my tools and not think of it as a final piece.

While I haven’t managed to stick with making art literally everyday, it’s definitely art almost everyday. Turns out I’ve been managing to fill way more than one page per week too! So I still feel like I’m sticking with my New Year’s goal.
What about you? Have you stumbled on any goals this year and what are you doing to get back on track?
