Drawing when you're too busy

Which tasks to ditch so you can do something for yourself!

Responsibilities can get in the way of drawing for pleasure. Luckily, we can shove a lot of those obligations to the bottom of the to-do list.

Tasks that aren’t as important as they seem:

Laundry - Skip the folding and draw your pile of clothes. You can wear the same shirt a few days in a row and I bet no one will notice. And if they do, who cares?

Dishes - So what if you leave them in the sink an extra day? Draw them and post on Instagram! Maybe someone will offer to wash them for you.

Shopping - It can usually wait a day. But if your cat really needs treats, you can take your sketchbook along and draw for 10 minutes!

Even in the best of times, drawing every day is hard.

When life punches you in the face or you decide to move six hours away, it’s even harder. It may feel self indulgent, but making drawing a priority could be exactly what you need.

Pssssst! We have a session on Monday!

​We're drawing the incredible residents of Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium and I can’t wait! We’ll definitely spend some time with Ume, the adorable tapir, two magnificent walruses, and probably some goats! Register below, because time changes are tricky and I don’t want you to miss out!
