Get your tickets for Doodle-le-do Melbourne

For the past few months I have been planning a little side project which is now coming to fruition. Doodle-le-do Melbourne is a cross between a workshop and a dinner party with friends you’ve never met.

Month three of drawing daily #todaysdoodle

Each month of drawing daily gets easier in some ways, and more challenging in others. Easier because I am in the routine of the daily task. It’s well before bed-time that I remember it’s time to do the days doodle. More challenging in that I set new parameters for myself, and I battle against mental block of ‘what do I...
