I love lots of white space, but I have a few different abstract black-and-whites that are of the “fill the page” variety. The problem is, once I move from, “Hmm… I wonder where this is going?” to knowing pretty much what comes next, I get bored.
This is where it becomes useful to have more than one work in progress!
Tired of drawing topographic maps? No problem–turn the pages back and add some new critters to a critter explosion!
As long as I can somehow get myself into a “What would happen if..?” mindset, I’m happy.
This girl loves improvisation!
Execution on an existing idea? Not so much… I’d rather be on edge a little, in a state of constant discovery.
Once the curiosity and sense of discovery dissipate, it starts to feel more like work, less like play.
And for me, play is essential. Otherwise the perfectionist gremlins start to sneak in and take over. And that leads to paralysis.
Gremlins cannot deal with play, though! It confuses them, so they head off to grab a latte and get a pedicure.
And that is exactly where I want them: otherwise occupied, so I can get down to creating! ?
