Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been drawing almost everyday. Not in a sketchbook, like I’m used to, but digitally. I’ve never felt that drawing digitally was drawing at all, it often felt like a different thing. But now, I’m finding that whilst it does feel different; it’s doing the same thing to my brain. The more I draw, the more I write. The more I write, the more ideas I generate. The more ideas I generate, the more I need to visualise them – it’s a self-fuelling loop and one that is nourished by the same activity of drawing whether using traditional or digital techniques.
Better than sitting in the dark
Is there anything that shines a light on someone’s experience more quickly or brightly than drawing?

Which idea is the right one?
With so many potential paintings, drawings, and ideas to make, how does anyone prioritise their precious time on Earth?
