Daily writing prompt

What activities do you lose yourself in?

Hello My Dear Friends

Today’s prompt – “What activities do you lose yourself in?” – truly sparked my imagination. As a traveler through time, many experiences have held my attention, but today, I want to share my deep passion for drawing and sketching.

Whenever pencil meets paper, my artistic thoughts come alive, transporting me to a world of creative immersion. History, in all its richness, unfolds before me, a tapestry woven from countless stories and inspirations.

Reflection and Dreaming: A New Year Dawns

As the calendar flips to a new year, I find myself nestled in the quiet space between passion and anticipation, eager to embrace the possibilities ahead. It’s a time for reflection and dreaming, fueled by renewed zeal and artistic fire.

This year-end period, often focused on goal-setting and reviews, has ignited a profound conversation within me about my artistic journey. In the realm of creativity, setting goals isn’t just a formality; it’s a lifeline to the soul.

I’ve realized that unlocking my artistic potential involves not only defining aspirations but also understanding the “why” behind them.

It’s a process that goes beyond aspirations on paper. It demands carving out dedicated time for my art, fiercely protecting it from the constant demands that threaten to erode it.

The Urgency of Creation

This urgency stems from a deep yearning to paint, an intrinsic need to bring forth what simmers within. The thought of neglecting my art sends shivers of unease through my soul. There’s an ache, a torment in not expressing myself. It might sound dramatic, but the soul truly feels it.

Yet, even amidst the struggles, the act of painting fills me with an undeniable joy of creation. A smile spreads across my face as I lose myself in the process.

Guiding the Journey: Lessons from the Past

To guide my path into the new year, I delve into a deep review of the past twelve months. My art journal, adorned with 851 sketches and various art forms, serves as a testament to my dedication.

While I fell short of my initial goal of 1000 sketches, the journey itself provided invaluable insights. By probing the highs and lows, I gained a deeper understanding of the invisible barriers hindering my creative flow.

The Evolution of an Artist

Reflecting on my beliefs, excuses, fears, and doubts, I prepare to shift my focus forward. What are the big dreams that will shape my art and practice in the coming year? I encourage myself to dream freely, silencing the inner “buts” that often try to hold me back.

What skills do I crave to learn, hone, or master? Who can guide me on this exciting journey of artistic evolution?

As I set the stage for the new year, I define a word, phrase, or theme – a source of inspiration to fuel my creative engine. I envision how I want to remember this year, overflowing with milestones and artistic triumphs.

This year, my goal is to fill my new art journal with 1200 sketches and various art forms.

Beyond the Canvas: Embracing New Dimensions

This exciting dance between introspection and projection adds a new dimension to my artistic journey. My sketches are no longer confined to paper; they are now captured digitally.

This year, I aim to create videos showcasing my drawings and sketches online. This process brings me immense joy and opens a new avenue for expressing and sharing my creativity.

Join me, friends, on this exhilarating adventure – “A New Year for My Soul as an Artist: Setting Goals and Igniting Creativity.” Let’s embark on a year of growth, learning, and celebrating our artistic victories.

Remember, our art isn’t confined to the canvas; it resides in the very essence of our being.

Cheers to a new year for our artistic souls, filled with vibrant colors, melodies, and the boundless magic of creation! Together, let’s turn 2024 into a canvas of endless possibilities and artistic fulfillment.
