Day 2 of random doodling

Today is day 2 of my new artist career (or just random doodling 😂)

This was quite astonishing experience. I created this doodle using Procreate app on my iPad. I bought this app years ago but never did anything with it — somehow the blank canvas and its many features scared me so I never drew anything. Like many aspirational things I wanted to do, my own fears — or the sense of being overwhelming the mountain of technical hurdles — hamstrung me from even starting:

• I wanted to learn Japanese, Korean, Spanish, but looking at the difficulties of the beginner’s language book paralyzed me

• I wanted to make my own app — but the sheer amount of technical plumbing required prevented me from taking that first step

• I wanted to do my podcast or start my YT channel — but the hassle of setting up camera, shooting, editing, uploading paralyzed me

Instead of looking at all these things and paralyze myself, perhaps the best way is to just start small — one crappy doodle at a time, one crappy video at a time, one crappy writing a ta time.

And who knew doodling can be this fun and therapeutic!

I can’t wait for my next doodle!
