Between the pressure of daily life responsibilities, raising kids and deadlines, it can be hard to make time for creativity and to be consistent.

Looking for a sustainable way of keeping my creative juices flowing exploring and making fresh work, I decided to start an ongoing personal creative challenge. My goals are to establish the habit of creating something at least once a week (even if it is just a simple doodle on my sketchbook), as well as learning new techniques in the process.

This digital illustration, “Summer Birds”, is the result of the first-week challenge. I’m looking forward to developing this idea and to see it come alive.

Each week, I will be documenting the creative process, and at the end of the month, I will be sending a summary newsletter by email.
