Hey guys!
Today I compiled the images from my Rough Edges series which I had started about a year ago. To be honest, some are definitely missing from these but I think the rest are enough for today :)
What did I learn from this?
I started this series where I challenged myself by completely avoiding pencil and eraser and using only pen. ( ball pen preferably ). It was like rekindling my love for ball pen sketching since school times. It boosted my confidence to whole new levels & enabled me to directly lay down my ideas on paper without much hesitation.
A lot of us struggle with expressing whatever is on our mind. Now I am not saying that I have become a pro at this, if anything I am a long way from reaching those heights right now. But my point is that I do not stress about erasing something before actually even creating it. (Erasing multiple times was a major issue with me, especially while trying to make portraits.)
I have started embracing imperfection. I was someone who needed my strokes to look in a perfect way which sometimes served as a BIG restriction, but after doing this I actually learned how to improvise along the process! I felt that sometimes you don't need to think too much, you know, just allowing the hand to freely flow like your imagination is very important too!
Here I made the circles with compass & a pencil before locking it down with pen.
I hope you enjoyed them, some of you must have seen them already but for those of you who haven't, I would love to read your reviews! Let me know if you guys have also experimented with things like these and how they helped you? After all it's about finding YOUR style! :)
Keep Creating
Lots of Love <3
