Welcome to sketch dump

Once again. Maybe this time it will actually work. 
Maybe this time I’ll keep at it.

I keep trying but I always, always fail. I’m just not good at this keeping a regular blog thing. But this time, I’ll try something different. 

I’ll do it for myself.

I’ll do it to chase my dreams.

I’ll do it to keep check on myself.

And I’ll have fun doing it. I BETTER have fun doing it. 

And I won’t put any restrictions on myself or feel ashamed of anything or feel the need to post finished stuff only. NO. Not this time. 

This is a sketch dump. Emphasis on “dump”.

It’s meant to be unpolished.

It’s meant to keep me drawing.

Every day.

Even if it is the crappiest, lamest, fastest, most stupid, embarrassing little drawing ever, it needs to happen EVERY day.

And it’s cool to post shittons of drawings one day and only one little crappy sketch another, and it’s also cool to post work in progress if I’ve been working on something but haven’t finished it, EVEN if I may never finish it. 

I am hereby officially giving myself permission to do all of these things and more AS LONG AS THERE IS A DOODLE A DAY INVOLVED.

That’s the ONLY rule. 

One doodle every day. 

Just keep at it.

Because my dreams are big, and I am frustrated with myself; I feel like I’ve lost a lot of my drawing skills and I need to do something about it because it feels like I lost a part of myself and I can’t take it anymore. I want to cry just thinking about it. 

So I am going to draw.

Every day. 

So that maybe at some point I’ll have caught up again. 

But I need your help.

If you’re reading this, and you’re interested, or just bored, or you happen to be one of my friends and love me very much, please bug me. 

Please, please, please, feel free to bug me to draw stuff. 

Send me requests, weird prompts, crazy ideas, funny stories, inspired moments and kick my butt to draw them. (Except if it’s logos, portraits or tattoos. I won’t do those.)

Or just send me a text, or message, or email going: “HEY! YOU HAVEN’T DOEN THE THING TODAY! WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THAT, HUH?! HUH?! GO DRAW! NOW!”
You have permission to do that. Seriously. I mean it. Please do.

And if you scroll through my posts and you notice that there are daily drawings missing, if there isn’t at least one drawing per day or a follow up post that says something like: “I was stuck on mount fuji with no internet for 3 days and barely escaped freezing to death - here are the drawings I did during those 3 days”, and I don’t have an extremely good reason for the missing post, you have my absolute permission to write me a scolding comment or message and call me out on my bullshit.

Please do. 

Because clearly, I need a pinch of fear to make this happen.

I haven’t tried fear yet. Maybe fear will work. 

The amount of times I’ve tried something like this daily blog thing and miserably failed at it is a little bit ridiculous and a lot sad. 

Especially considering that I am usually and extremely persistent and stubborn person when it comes to the things I care about. And I care a lot about drawing. Just not so much about blogs, followers, hashtags etc. 
But keeping up with an online presence and getting my shit out there regularly and even drawing every day, even if I show nobody, for some reason, I can’t do it.
Or I haven’t been able to until now. Which is why I’m going to try the fear thing.

Which is why I need your help guys, because self-policing might work for some people but I’m gloriously crap at it so you guys need to do it.
So please. I’m begging you, please, please, please, for my own good, help me out and kick my butt from time to time. 
Especially if you wan’t to see more drawings ;) 

Massive amounts of love,

Jill

And now, without much more ado, lets have the shitty doodle of the day.
