One Way I Draw Without Overthinking — Cathryn Worrell Art & Illustration As a self-taught artist who often struggles with perfectionism (to the point that it can be paralysing), I've been finding online drawings sessions and workshops really helpful. The way they usually ...

I went to a lovely drawing session last week and I've talked about it in my latest blog post: cathrynworrell.com/blog/one-way... #sketchbook #artists #draweveryday

I'm considering On1 at the moment as a Lightroom replacement. Would you love to hear people's experience with it.

Thank you Angela. I've used Affinity Photo before, although I found it was more like Photoshop than Lightroom. They've also paused sales for now because they're announcing something new next week so I'm keeping an eye on that to see what happens.

Does anyone know a good alternative to Adobe Lightroom? Something simple and lightweight for photo editing that works on Android and PC? #photoediting #photography #photographersonbluesky

Happy Birthday! A gift that keeps you well fed sounds (and looks) perfect. ❤️

Well those things we stop doing are always waiting for us if we ever want to get back into them. I hope you're having a good week.

Thanks Julian. I was planning to leave them in black and white. They felt like a very low pressure way to get last some anxiety I've felt around drawing recently.

Spotted on my afternoon stroll today. #butterfly

Capitalism teaches us it’s wrong to rest.

Ableism teaches us being sick means we’ve failed.

Fascism teaches us that disabled people are expendable.

None of it is true. It’s ok to rest. In fact, for most of us it’s necessary.

Disability is not a moral failing and none of us are expendable.

Avoid overthinking and draw the things you find difficult — Cathryn Worrell Art & Illustration I don’t know about you, but there are some subjects that I find really difficult to draw and at the same time I’d really like to be better at drawing them. They don’t come easily to me and because...
