Practice, practice, practice... 14/366

My drawing skills are pretty rusty, so I figured it was time to get back to basics. 

Learning form, and line, and shading. 

Remembering how to hold the pencil just right, to get the lighter lines. 

How to keep my pencil on the page for the image to flow more. 

I've got a long way to go, that's for sure!

But I've got plenty of time, too. :)

Day 6: One of my favourite quotes...

... though I have *no* idea where it's from, other than pinterest!

Nearly Monday again... yay! Hope everyone had a great weekend. :) 

Day 5: Same doodle, different medium

So, as I'm taking Effy and Jeanette's mixed media Boot Camp, and the first week is about substrates and mediums, trying out different art supplies basically, I thought I'd do a few of the same doodle, in different mediums. 

Yesterday's was in pigma micron brushes, and today's is in koi watercolours. 

I think I'm starting to enjoy watercolours... but I've got a long way to go before I'm anywhere near a similar league as the likes of Dion Dior - one of my favourite watercolour-ists! :) 

Practice makes perfect... right? 

Day 4: The Ick Factor

I've not been feeling well today... this may be a TMI (too much information) post, so if you're not into that, go and google "do a barrel roll" for something to amuse you!

I've had the most horrendous wind-type pains in my upper abdomen most of the day.

Started as soon as I tried to drink anything this morning, and carried on pretty much all day.

I'm talking about doubling over and crying out in pain kind of wind pains. 

If they had been in my lower abdo I'd have thought I had appendicitis it was that sore.

However, after gingerly eating something (a waffle... nommm) verrryyyyy slowly, it seemed to calm down. 

I still can't lie down comfortably on my right side without it setting off though.

So yes... today has very much had The Ick Factor. 

I don't reccommend it to anyone. 

URGH!

I almost forgot! Here's a little doodle I did earlier... 

Only four days in and I'm already forgetting... whoops!

Day 3: Friendship

This is a quick line drawing of a gorgeous statue I got from my best friend. She's an Angel of Friendship (without the wings... damn kids!).

I have her sat at my desk, to remind me of how lucky I am to have such wonderful, loving, kind and giving people in my life. 

I honestly don't know what I'd do without them!

Who could you not live without? (apart from the obvious one... our children... that's a given!)
