1. I leave the water in the sink after washing dishes and when I sweep the floor I make a pile in the corner where it stays for quite a while. 2. I can only sleep with my pillow. I take on every holiday and on any overnight destinations. 3.I love to mow the lawn, […]
I am taking Danny Gregory’s advice and finding a quick ten minutes to do a drawing every day. I love his style of drawing because imperfection can be celebrated. Last night before I went to sleep. Today at the hairdressers (even brushes make interesting drawings). Today I am going out to buy a journal so […]

I used these little exercises to pratice drawing straight with the pen, no pencils, no erasers and am quite pleased with the results. I am looking forward to my copy of Creative License arriving in the mail as I am hoping to use this to improve my creativity and drawing skills.
