Cruel Candy Hearts
'Got You Some Candy' | Daily Drawing #311
"Happy Valentine's Day, hon. Got you some candy."
Production Notes:
The hearts created in Adobe Illustrator and repurposed from a Valentine's Day infographic I did with SUMO Heavy.
The lettering was done with a Kuretake Bimoji Felt Tip Brush Pen on paper, then shot using the Adobe Capture app on my phone.
This app is a real time-saver, especially for quick illustrations like this. Capture allows you to shoot and store shapes and then sync them to your Creative Cloud library as vector images. I was then able to pull the 'shape' (The hand-drawn line of type) from the Library directly into Photoshop where the images of the lettering, the hearts and the background were combined.

If You Don't Start, You Will Fail
'If You Don't Start, You Will Fail" | Daily Drawing #301
It’s simple - if the car never leaves the garage, you have zero chance of winning the race.
Fear and perfectionism stop us from doing the things we want. If you stay frozen in your safe little place, most likely that’s where you’ll be in a year from now. You’re better off trying and falling on your stupid face than just sitting there in a sad pile of wishes. What’s the worst that can happen? You’re back where you started (which is exactly where you are now). But, what if that one thing you keep wishing for...what if even half of it came to pass? You’d be further along and better off than you are right now.
What’s holding YOU back?
