James is my constant reminder to stay present. I have a bad habit of getting caught up on my phone, wasting my time instead of doing something fulfilling. When I'm in my haze, he comes up to me with a toy, eagerly calling me to play with him. I've learnt to look at my phone less, and instead of missing it, I spend more time playing with James, doing yoga, drawing or learning a new language! There is so much to do now that I'm not stuck on the internet. It's a really great feeling. . . . . . . . . . #illustration #illustrator #drawing #copicmarkers #art #artoftheday #artist #doodle #sketch #instaart #illustratorsofinstagram #sketchbook #leuchtturm1917 #momcomic #honestmotherhood #sahm #motherhoodrising #mytinymoments #instamom #lovelysquares #instadaily #childrenswritersguild #doodling #childrensillustration
