Along with writing 1-2 pages of handwriting a day I’m now going back to basics with mark making practice. I’m using this https://belartsy.notion.site/1-linework-basic-shapes-537b5d1a874f4985b68f7849e45300df as a resource.

I’m trying to get myself into just as much of a rhythm with drawing and illustration as I am with handwriting. Hopefully over time the same will occur with my freehanding as it has with my writing.

I’ve found the process incredibly relaxing, focusing specifically on mark making has taken away the decision fatigue from choosing what and where to draw whilst doing my research paper. It’s also shown me how different moods, times of day, how quickly I rush it can effect each mark made.
