I kept myself really busy in June by doing a challenge called "Junicorn."
I think a couple of other people have done it, but I made it up as a summer activity to do with my daughter. She joined me in a couple of them, and colored a lot of the ones I drew, but it was mostly me.
Here are some of my favorites:
|
Unicorn meets Narwhal
|
|
Breaking out of the norm and dabbling in sculpture!
|
|
Mermacorn
|
|
Trying to think outside the box
|
|
Unicorn with a princess rider
|
|
Me, as a unicorn (unicorn-sona?)
|
|
Again, getting outside the box
|
|
Junicorn Finale: find the unicorn!
|
|
Lunar unicorn
|
There were many, many more (you can see all of them in my Junicorn2020 Album on my facebook page:
Facebook.com/KennaArt)
I want to color some of these, especially my favorites, but coloring takes a lot more time than quick sketching (especially with young kids around...young, curious kids with sticky fingers, yikes!), but I'll work on it as I can.
There is so much turmoil in the world today, not just the pandemic but the economy and politics and social unrest. It can be overwhelming and I often find myself wondering what I should be doing, if there's anything I can do, about it all.
And here are the answers I've been led to:
- Care for my family, especially my kids
- Appreciate the good moments in the present
- Do something creative every day
Maybe these points will help you, too. Maybe not. They've provided a good compass for me, personally, and I intend to stick with them as long as they remain relevant.
