Hey guys good sunny day today here but why am I still feeling a little low on energy hmmm. You know how it is when you set a goal that feels so good then took a little different direction. Life just barges right in? That is how it had been this month with my Elftober challenge. A whole month of one elf a day seemed like such a brilliant idea back on the first. I love the community energy and seeing all of your amazing interpretations.
huh this is my very first and it is Joyful elf hey can I get that feeling back?
I’m looking at the calendar and yeah October I got a lot of catching up. I just hit my 11th prompt yesterday. I know I am way behind but that is what I love. This challenge is not about the speed it is about the spark. (positive self talk) I have so many amazing prompts sitting here waiting for that perfect inspiration.
this is literally me but immobilized and overthinking things
I’m not stressing about finishing all 31 now I am focusing on the joy in every single elf I do get to finish. That is the real win for me. It is not a race and I want to translate that good energy to everyone else who feels behind too. We got this.
the rain will be over soon and I know I will get my energy back and this gloom gone
I’m going to catch up with a few smaller drawings today to get my creative juices flowing again. As they say it accomplishment comes from simply trying.
Thank you for being such an encouraging community that keeps me going I hope this little post gave you a gentle nudge today.
Cheers Krisette
Elftober is my personal art challenge running throughout October, where I create a new elf drawing every day. Inspired by the popular Inktober event, Elftober is my own initiative to focus specifically on the magical and whimsical world of elves. My goal is to draw one piece of art featuring an elf for all 31 days of the month, using a custom prompt list to spark my creativity and help me explore my drawing style. It's a fun way for me to celebrate the magical autumn season with my favorite pointy-eared friends
Completing a drawing everyday is hard. It's something I'm struggling with as well with Charactober. I'm doing maybe 2-3 a week. But I'm loving the results so I'm okay with it. I'm drawing more so the challenge has succeeded in it's goal.
for me it is about revisiting my old drawings and see if I can improve them. That gives me more satisfaction especially if there is a significant improvement
