What a journey this has been. In September 2022 I started drawing insects as a way to relax and clear my mind from daily work. After a few weeks doing it, I decided to make my life more complicated and make digital variants of those paper sketches.
Here I’m, a year later, finishing this crazy project idea that I got into just for fun. I really enjoyed it, although I had some moments when it was difficult for me to fulfill my self-imposed commitment, I managed to do it without missing a single Sunday. It also happened to me that some weekends I was not satisfied with the things I was doing, but I feel that my illustration technique improved.
It’s funny that in this season those of us who are where the weather is cold would like to go where it is warm, and those who are there would like to come here… How strange are we, aren’t we?
Anyway, if you are on your way to the beach like many of my friends in Costa Rica will be doing right now, don’t forget your umbrella, there are chances of bugs in the forecast.
From the original that is on the last page of my Sunday drawing notebook posted to the Tumblr in September 2023.
After a year of doing this I also learned that even if I have the conviction to commit to something like this, the time it requires is a huge chunk of my little free time. I may have to redistribute my time to prioritize other things of value in my life and you probably won’t hear from me for some time.
I want to close this project by saying that I invite you to explore what you like even if you are not good at them as is my case here. Have fun, enjoy and don’t forget to see the little things around your life.
Thanks for reading.
