So what happens when you're trying to avoid frigid temperatures and eating pizza? You do warm up sketches on the box it came in! I'm trying out a new thing this year: warm up sketches before working on paintings/murals/illustrations.
I'll be honest, I have not been consistent with this new practice, but I do notice that I feel little more "warmed up" for the next project. Think of it as stretching before exercising 😂

And by the way, this bear didn't take too much out of my day: 20 minutes. So if you just finished eating a pizza, or have a napkin,  or a piece of  scrap paper, and you're getting ready to embark on your artistic journey of creating whatever, grab a sharpie! Do a warm up sketch!
