25 Day Drawing Challenge: Days 5 – 10

Okay so I thought it was time I updated you with how I’m doing with my 25 Day Drawing Challenge, so here’s what I’ve been tackling lately on days 5 – 10!

Day 5: Favourite Word

Now there’s no intention of rudeness here!
I chose this word as I find it’s a word that can be used to convey many emotions, for example, Fuck you/Fuck this, conveys anger and frustration whilst
Fucking brilliant/Fuck yeah, conveys happiness and excitement.
It doesn’t always have to be  a nasty horrible word people!!

Day 6: A beach Hut

Or 5 beach huts should I say?!
To be honest I couldn’t resist doing a line of beach huts, it’s your typical English beach scene, with of course, a seagull looking to steal some chips!

Day 7: A City

Can you guess what city I’ve tried to fit into my theme?
Let’s just say a recent trip gave me some inspiration!

Day 8: A Hot Air Balloon

Going up in a hot air balloon has always been on my bucket list and I certainly wouldn’t mind going up in this one!

Day 9: Trace Your Hand Then Decorate It

Tip to anyone who fancies doing this one…
Don’t trace your hand with a sharpie, it’s ink will end up on your skin and it’s a pain to get off!
Next time I think I’ll use a pencil!

Day 10: A Made Up Character

Rabbit Clown is a character I made up a few years ago, he’s always stuck around in my mind!

So then people what do you think?!
Let me know by commenting and I’d love to see your own drawings if you selected to do any of the days and hey if I like them they’ll get posted!

More to come soon….

Another 4 Little Drawings

So I’ve got my sketchbook out again and having enjoyed doing those little drawings before (see here), I decided to do a few more, this time adding colour into two of them.
Here’s what happened…

What do you think?!
Using colour was more interesting and allowed me to do something different, yet I did miss the simplicity of using just black and white, which I suppose is why I did half and half!

The red circles one was the most time consuming, filling in the tiny spaces and coming up with different patterns to do so, however I’m pretty happy with the finished effect!

These are really great things to do, if you don’t want to get swamped by one big project, do four little ones instead!

Just some little drawings

This morning I was quite disappointed to hear that my fitness class had been cancelled, (see below for a review on that!) having got up especially early in order to get there on time.
However I avoided the temptation to go back to bed and decided to get out my sketchbook and do something arty!

So here’s what I came up with….

Nothing too spectacular I know, but it was quite relaxing to sit in the sunshine in my garden whilst doing this.
It’s also, I found a great little project to do. If you want to create something that looks good but don’t want to spend ages on it, then 4 mini artworks are a good idea!

To do this I got one of my store cards and traced round it to create the oblongs in which I put my designs into. Then just fill with whatever you like! And you don’t have to stick to black and white! I’m planning to do this again one day but with an injection of colour too.

Also, I think that they’d make great designs for iPhone covers!
