It’s been a slow 3-day weekend— • a lazy 2-hour coffee with a friend • a leisurely 3-hour climbing gym date with another friend • a luxurious 2-hour meander through a bookstore I’ve been worried about burnout. Slowing down was just what I needed. #tweet100 #30daysofdoodling

These past few weeks, I’ve been reconnecting to the things I loved in childhood. I’ve retraced my journey through the books and movies I loved, and I figured this was as good a time as any to paint in a style learned during my childhood. #tweet100 #30daysofdoodling

Your time and energy is limited. How do wish you could invest it? How do you actually invest it? #tweet100 #30daysofdoodling

Today, I’m grateful that few people expect work to be done during weekends. I have spent hours glued to my couch with a book, and it’s just what I needed. How can you languish in a little laziness this weekend? #tweet100 #30daysofdoodling

I’m eager for the changing of seasons, for the transition from the glare of summer to the coziness of winter. As Brontë wrote, “Every leaf speaks bliss to me Fluttering from the autumn tree.” #tweet100 #30daysofdoodling

Meditation can take on many different forms. You might practice it breathing with your eyes closed. You might practice it drawing. You might practice it walking. If you find your mind slowing down—and possibly even emptying—you’re doing it. #tweet100 #30daysofdoodling

I took a very awkward fall off the bouldering wall this morning. My hip hurts, and my mind is drawing a complete blank. The only thing coming to mind is “rest.” So, that’s today’s doodle. Anyone else need a little break? #tweet100 #30daysofdoodling

I decided I was a rebel at an early age when I stopped learning Chinese on the weekends. 25 years later, I still remember how to say and write, “I love you,” but for the first time, I wish I knew more. Now, I’m wondering if it’s too late. #tweet100 #30daysofdoodling

I’ve been choosing projects lately based on Derek Sivers’s titular decision-making framework. It reminds me that while I usually have the ability to do something, I rarely have the capacity (time/energy) to... ...and I never have to apologize for that. #tweet100 #30daysofdoodling

Drawing by hand can clarify your thinking. Here are a few ways circles and lines can help you visualize relationships. #tweet100 #30daysofdoodling

Just because nothing happened today doesn’t mean that nothing will happen tomorrow. Show up everyday even when it doesn’t seem like anything’s happening. The past isn’t a reliable indicator of the future. #tweet100 #30daysofdoodling

Digital tools aren’t the same as analog ones, but the results can look pretty similar... and there is definitely less time required to set up and clean up. I still wonder, though, if something important is lost in all that convenience. #tweet100 #30daysofdoodling

Animations have been stretching what I know about timing. I’m working on animating a hand-drawn illustration video intro in Procreate. Motion has acceleration and deceleration... and that’s been a huge challenge to recreate for me. #tweet100 #30daysofdoodling

Balance is like a seesaw, adding and subtracting, going back and forth between too much and too little. I’ve been quiet in the comments and slow to responding to people lately. I’ll be back as soon as I’m able. I appreciate your patience with me. ❤️ #tweet100 #30daysofdoodling

Today, I began work on a longer video, entirely written and drawn by me. “Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved stories.” I would never have felt a fully animated video would be possible without the days I’ve invested doodling and writing. #tweet100 #30daysofdoodling

Behind the scenes of yesterday’s animation… Successful animations made “from scratch” (without reference images) have to translate an object in 3-D space to 2-D media, including how it moves. You need to understand: ✅ Perspective ✅ Physics #tweet100 #30daysofdoodling

My family had a ritual where we shared a family-style meal with friends on weekends. 兩面黄 (liang mian huang) was my favorite. Social distance and isolation has me longing for big, rambunctious family-style meals with friends and family. #30daysofdoodling

Newton’s Cradle is a way of seeing the conservation of energy—the three center balls store the energy from the momentum of the two moving balls. In October, I’ll be tracking “energy” in my life to see where I can store it and where I can create some momentum. #30daysofdoodling
