Today, my daughter made me an offer I could not refuse: “Let’s do an exchange: I’ll draw a picture for you, and you draw one for me.”
I thought it would be an interesting challenge: what could I draw in five minutes or less? (Because that’s about how long it takes her to draw one of pictures.)
One of my favourite ways to procrastinate is by not staring doing something because I would convince myself that I either don’t have enough time to do a proper job or don’t have the right tools/environment/fill-in-the-blank. This time, I had my iPad already open, so I thought, alright, game on.
I was given some creative direction, of course. My daughter wanted a picture of a she-wolf and her cub, “but not a scary one”.
The process and the result are below. I used ProCreate for iPad and Apple pencil.
An by the way, I did lose the challenge, because she made two picture in the time it took me to do one.
