Warming Up My Creative Muscles

Still not feeling 100%, but I’ve been doodling little by little—warming up for bigger creative bursts when the time is right.

Warming Up My Creative Muscles
Not worrying about being bad—that’s the Charlie Yellow way! Last year, I learned that what really matters is doing it over and over.

I’m still not fully back to feeling my best, but I’ve been steadily doodling every day. From the tilted people series from my favorite doodle master book, I drew one person using crutches and another who’s deep in thought (or maybe confused, or even angry).

One of my goals this year is to keep my hands moving—whether drawing or making. But instead of setting some huge project goal that might backfire if I can’t follow through, I’ve decided it’s more important to keep taking small creative steps regularly. I believe that if I stay in motion, I’ll be more ready for when that big burst of inspiration comes!
