It never fails, each artistic endeavor I travel, there is a valuable lesson for me on the other side. The Sketchbook Challenge is certainly one of them! And honestly, drawing has never been something I truly enjoyed. It has always been a means to an end for what I really wanted to do - design a piece of jewelry, paint an object or design fabric, etc... Well, I want to change my mindset on this and practice drawing more, with pencil only. No paints, no pens, just me and the pencil. And of course I started with silly things, like my children's toys and other items that strike me. So, here goes.....
What else but a jazzberry jam crayon!
Foam letters and numbers. The angle was a bit tough to capture and getting the shadows right.
Beautiful brown suede shoes for my littlest one. I like the one on the right better. Left shoe was a tougher angle.
Babydoll. It certainly doesn't look like a real person! Eyes are tough. I did much more work on the face than the body, hence the darker areas.
Toy phone. Better angle here.
Changes and growth on this artist holiday-

I really like this idea & I was thinking of doing something like this. I have just bought a sketchbook so I can practice more drawing.
ReplyDeleteI had thought the sketch book challenge would get me to draw more. I also lack in this skill. But so far it has been only a " I should sketch soon". So tonight I will pick up pencil and paper and sketch! thanks for the inpiration!
