Blossom and Ratatouille!

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it and sharing an art tip too.

Today's drawing is some cherry blossom. #drawingadayclub

For today's tip I offer this quote from the film Ratatouille:

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face is that, in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is more meaningful than our criticism designating it so."

Confession of a cheating scoundrel!

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it.

I started on the 16th of January 2016 after seeing Dominic Roberts doing it and filled some days backwards to get the year full. I had no idea why I was doing it beyond it sounded fun.
Now I have very clear ideas what it does. It helps me by teaching me dicapline and practice and I get some creative time each day which keeps the rubbish out of my head a bit. For my friends, it shares a bit of beauty and some of my ideas, it's communication.

Sometimes I put a filter on a pic that makes it look better, sometimes I miss one and do it the next day, sometimes I use other art I was doing anyway but yesterday was the first time I really cheated! I found a drawing form 2016 I had never shared and as I was sick but didn't want to draw twice I shared it! There, I'm clean now!

Here is the drawing I owe from yesterday.

More Japanese blossom

Japan, Japanese blossom

Today's is black blossom!

I'm a textile designer and I'm currently making the switch from designing fashion fabrics to designing interior fabrics and wall paper.

An important trend at the moment in interiors is Japan. Currently 50% of my fashion fabric designs sell in Japan. I love Japanese art. It's a bit of a thing with me.

I've included some fashion fabrics I designed for the interested and the trend information.

Pink blossom, more of it!

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it. Today's is pink blossom. Please forgive me I drew some before but it's so lovely.
