My recent post about trying to include urban sketching as comics started
getting too long, and I still had a backup of walk comics, so I saved a few for
this post. No geeky comic analysis this time – just an observation:
Although I do enjoy fitness-walking simply to be outdoors and to see
what’s going on in the neighborhood, the potential opportunity for sketching
has always been a primary motivator for getting out each day. An added benefit
of my latest focus on comics is that it gives me something else to “do”
(besides walk and sketch): Now I am always actively looking for a theme, a
story or anything that ties together a few sketches into a sequence. I’ve
become more observant in a different way than I usually am when I’m “only”
looking for a sketch (which is already a very active way to take a walk). I’m
more engaged with making connections.

Bonus benefit: Making comics motivates me to walk more. |
Wow, you did a lot of walking! I really like the last two pages you posted. I like that they have a theme to them. Keep walking!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement on both the comics and the walking! They both support each other! :-)
