An ailing market, a diseased system… even the hangover period that follows an economic boom: it’s not uncommon to use illness metaphors to describe a situation or state. As responsible business leaders, part of our job is to spot and diagnose an illness early-on when our business feels a bit under the weather, so that we and others may restore it to health. Plus, with so many people down nowadays with the “stomach thing” or the “I’ve-been-coughing-for-six-months-and-it-still-won’t-go-away” thing, an ice bag seemed like just the thing to help us start to feel a bit better!
Have you – or your business – been feeling a bit under the weather? Why not draw up a soothing ice bag? Here’s how to draw a Good Enough ice bag in three easy steps:
When drawing an ice bag, I think of it as a sort of beret. After all, it’s typically worn on the top of something’s “head”… so it’s going to droop down around the sides of someone’s head… or that building, or stack of dollar bills, or whatever you’re going to draw that’s feeling a bit sick. So when I draw an ice pack, I think about what it’s going to be sitting on top of… and draw the “droop” accordingly!
Want to have fun drawing AND inspire others to pick up the pen at the same time? Got something you wish you could draw, but you’re not sure how to approach it? Tweet your drawing or idea to @jeannelking and tag it with #goodenough: it could be featured in an upcoming “how to draw good enough” blog post!
Looking forward to seeing what you draw forth!
