I do sketch at times. But mostly, my creative process involves writing. And it usually starts when I am lying in bed in the morning, all in my head. Then I have to find pen and paper and get down to work. I do much better on paper than on the computer.
A lot of times my blog entries come to me as I lay there in the middle of the night trying to get some sleep. It's at that moment where I run to get pen and paper and write down what I want to blog about before it gets lost in dreamland. It's really nice to know how others get their ideas. Thanks!
I'm going to try the technique of filling a page with little sketches. Great insight into the way you create your posts Caroline, thanks for sharing and inspiring.
Thanks for sharing your process. You have a lot of good advice in this post, artistically. I need to challenge myself more than I do. Keep up the great work!
You have such a sure line, even those sketches you say you discard, have so much movement and look so spontenous and appealing. I enjoyed this lesson very much. I dont have your facility, I work hard to get my drawing right and they dont have the fluidity of yours.
Thank you for such a wonderful "share". I am NOT an artist, but this may help me to get back to that little girl who believed she could be one. Painted ducks on a tea tray that I made, a giraffe in clay...on and on. You are such an inspiration and a lovely person.
Beneath your image of the fire-jumpers you write, "...and sometimes they surprise me by turning out BETTER than I imagined..." Isn't that a wonderful exhilarating moment? When you realize that your strength and skills have fire-jumped ahead to exciting new places that, at first, you'd been too modest to envision?
This is a good lesson in persistance, trial and error, and more persistance. You are a wonderful artist and storyteller who keeps at the process until you're pleased.

Hello Caroline... Thanks for sharing this...
My creative process usually starts at night before a shoot... Sometimes my imagination wanders so much that I can't sleep at all... :)
A great lesson!
I don't draw or paint as much as I used to...now I want to do more.
Thanks Crayons!

Another GREAT post! Thank you for your sweet inspiration :=)

Your "filter" picks up so much more detail than I usually notice. Wonderful post!
How enlightening!

I love this post! You have such wonderful doodles. :)
Hi Caroline
I love your work! It's free but real, if that makes sense. And I especially love that frog :)
Amazing and thoughtful process.
I like how you keep on drawing.
Practice is a big part of it!
Another great post - I am inspired!
This is an inspiring idea, as I also like sketching. Thanks for sharing this. :-D
Caroline,
This is interesting. Keeping your "hand loose" surprised me. But it makes sense.
You're incredibly talented, you know. I can see the facial expressions give a meaning in your sketches.
I always enjoy myself here.

You just have that magical way of bringing the world to life and making us want to live in it more colorfully. You are a genius.
