Take these broken wings…

This is going to sound nauseatingly cute but, most mornings I make a lunch for Joe and put a sticky note picture on it. Oh come on, it’s adorable.

However, I got out of the habit for a few weeks about 3 months ago and when I decided to start again, it seemed like I couldn’t draw stick people anymore.

How ridiculous is that? All they are is a circle and some lines! But that morning, it was all misshapen heads and uneven arms and squiggly bodies.

I felt really disheartened. It should be simple, it’s stick people. I’m good at stick people!

After about twenty minutes and several crumpled up sticky notes, it all came back. I watched my hand make nice circles and put reasonably expressive faces in them with proper bodies, arms, and legs.

I don’t claim to be an artist, but I really like drawing stick people. It’s fun and it’s a nice outlet; I’d have been pretty sad if my “talent” for drawing them had somehow evaporated.

Plus, Sticky Note Friday would be a total bust without the sticky notes.
