One of Those Weeks

Most days I'm able to juggle making art, while also being a new toddler mom. There are times when I'm not able to make both work, and of course prioritize my daughter. It's definitely been one of those weeks where I get an hour or two here and there, but it's been a bit of a struggle compared to our "normal" days. In addition to parenting, motivation has been pretty low this week! Not sure if it's the weather, or stress from preparing for the holiday season, but finding inspiration to draw has been in short supply the last few days!

I have been testing out some new metallic and glitter markers I purchased recently, and am excited to incorporate them a bit more into my drawings. They've been great for detail work here and there, and I'd like to use them as my primary medium on a small drawing sometime. I'm hoping seeing some of the colors will spark a few ideas for illustrations. When I'm struggling to come up with some ideas, swatching usually helps. It's a very therapeutic process, too.

Stay inspired in this coming week, friends!
