I’ve been drawing HEAPS lately –
Partly because of having heaps of paid drawing work (woohoo!)
Partly because I’m struggling a bit with life, (boo!) and I find drawing helpful
Partly because I’m doing Danielle Corsetto’s Drawing Class (which is really amazing, btw)
So I’ve had a few occasions where I’ve been in my studio (garage) drawing and people have come knocking so I’ve hidden and pretended not to be home. So, if you’ve come by and suddenly the lights all turned off, sorry about that – I’m a bit crazy at the moment.
I have a similar thing when I’m going through stuff. I think it’s more than okay to listen to what you need when you need it. And if that is your blankie, so be it!
I’m lucky enough that most of my friends understand if I tell them “I’m sorry, it’s nothing personal, I just don’t feel up to people-ing right now.” Even though everybody knows I’m an extrovert, even extroverts sometimes don’t feel like people-ing.
