Dury Designs: My Artwork

A Drawing or Something Creative A Day, Starts Here...

In an attempt to start something new and to stay creative, I have started to do a drawing a day. Hopefully I will keep this up and have it turn into my dreams. Everyday, I would look online for other artists' work and always wander how to make a living out of it. Their works are so fun and creative and most importantly, sell-able. If work becomes your passion, you feel you will never work a day in your life!

I saw this idea from other artists, that if you do a drawing a day for at least a month, you will soon enough have a big collection and gallery of works that fit you. It is a way to build style and momentum. Whatever I must do, it is best to make something than have an idea disappear and not happen.

Here is the 1st one, French Toast with Ice Cream drawing.

If your heart keeps going back to it, that is how you know you should follow it~

Expressing creativity. Inky drawings are a hobby of mine...

I started inking some designs to express my style. I have an interest in the natural world of plants, trees and living things. With these illustrations, I hope to achieve a sense of harmony with nature and how it connects to human emotions.

There have been a lot on my mind about what to do on the side as a hobby and I have always enjoyed drawing random shapes and things in nature that appear in my dreams. A world of wonder, imagination and dreams are just some of the things expressed in the work created.

Even though I have done work for other people as a Graphic Designer, Web Designer, artist or whichever....It is always necessary to truly enjoy and love what you do. It is hard to do that when all you think about is paying bills, making money and trying to make a career. What truly stays in our hearts is the hobby we choose to work with and to relax, rejuvenate and express our individuality.

These are just some of my inky drawings I have done up-to-date. Please comment on them so I can find ways to sell my work. I was thinking of going through Etsy again. Maybe even original work.

**My process is simply finishing one piece in one sitting. Putting my heart and creativity into the pen strokes as it glides through the sheet of paper. I do not think much when drawing, but except, try to feel and express whatever should be and 'let-it-be' to any direction or end result may come.
