My Project

Hy my name is Daniela. This is my very first blog entry. So don't expect too much ;).

I'm 24 years old, a graphic designer, musicologystudent and I'm living in Vienna. And as you will surely soon realize English is not my native language, but I hope you'll understand what I am going to write.

A few days ago I started a one-year-project. One sketch a day. 
I'm very curious if this will work. Because patience is not necessarily my strongest suit ;)
To make the start easier for me, I find an agreement with a friend of mine: A drawing a day for 3 weeks (both of us). And these 3 weeks are nearly over now. And my goal is to continue this for a year.

The drawings will be scribbled in all kind of styles and techniques, because I don't like to have to commit myself to anything specific in arts.

Maybe you ask yourself why I'm doing this? 
Because I want to improve my illustrator skills and so I draw again more. The last year since I have begun to study I moved the drawing in the background. That is about to change. (I hope so ;)

I will post some or maybe all of my drawings on that blog and I hope that some of you like them and get inspired. I love arts and everything where I can be creative.

I will write also about the designers life and job - the problems and great things that entails. I will talk about techniques, paper, colours and give you some tips for drawing, creativity and design.

I'm looking forward to your comments.



Tips for designers
Be creative when you have ideas. Do not force yourself to have to create something huge. Just let it flow. Usually you will not be entirely convinced. Sometimes you'll think, "How ugly is that?!", but it will provide moments in which you'll naturally create something great and big.


So let us swing the brushes and have fun.
