Our drawing prompt this week was to develop a conversation with a part of our self that perhaps is not heard as much as she should be. First of all we were asked to fold the page in half, and then on the left, in one minute, draw a figure representing ourselves, but not necessarily a traditionally accurate drawing. It could represent that self in any way we wanted. Then, on the other side of the page, in a different colour, possibly using a non-dominant hand to draw, a figure representing the unheard or unseen self, also done in a minute. Finally, one of the characters had to ask the other one a question.
I seem to be a bit wound up, rather tense. Everything is coiled. And it's been quite hard to take pictures during lockdown. For the past couple of years at this time I have been in parks and gardens shooting bees and flowers. Not now.
The final instruction was to do 3 panels, each in 3 minutes, of a conversation between the characters:
I thought of an ending, but not sure how to get there. Maybe if I knew, I could fix the world, eh?
Thanks to all those at Drawing Together/Graphic Medicine for creating the group and taking time out of their lives to lead us through the warm-ups and prompts. Hope we get together again soon.
