After I drew this quick little zombie sketch, I realized that the next step, (which was to paint her) seemed to be taking quite a while longer to get going. A pattern I seem to find myself in a lot.
It finally dawned on me, that when it comes to executing the painting part of a piece, my brain wants to try executing it in 50 different ways which then put me in a place of feeling overwhelmed and stuck in a state of avoidance (anybody else know what I mean?)
I finally decided to attempt at least 3 approaches (out of the too many vying for attention) instead of trying to just pick one... and it ended up being so much more fun to do it like this!
In school and work it seems that due dates or deadlines force us to execute a project without the chance of the time needed to really play with exploration.
Let me know if you have a favorite Zombie Girl version! Hope to do this kind of exploration more
