Back to Neurons

Posted on the 31 January 2021 by Matteofarinella

Since the holidays I have suffered from a bad tendonitis in my right hand so I was forced to stay away from drawing. This temporary break made me appreciate how much I missed drawing on paper. I have been increasingly moving to digital for my work, and although I appreciate the new tools, selecting layers and keyframes is not quite the same. 

Last weekend I was finally healthy enough to hold a bush again and – although I have many things on my to do list – I decided to do a little celebratory drawing. Just good-old fashioned neurons (and glia) in black ink on paper. I have added some color digitally but you can see the original on my Instagram.

It was a lot of fun and I’m feeling very grateful for my motor neurons right now so I’m determined to carve out more time for this kind of pleasure drawing this year.
