Sketching Bliss

1staugsketchesblog

I’ve been really enjoying daily (almost) sketching in my Moleskine. Now I’ve got into the groove of it and don’t think about it too much (meaning worry) I just sketch away and enjoy myself. Last night I enjoyed listening to the latest Paper Wings Podcast and sketched the above, I was in a ‘eyes’ mood. Open-mouthed smile

I even had the courage to take my sketchbook and draw at the Physio waiting room last week whilst waiting for my Mum. I shrinked back when I got nice comments (I’m still shy about getting attention for my drawing, silly I know) and just kept sketching lol. Yes I am serious about making drawing a much larger part of my life even if I am really shy about it and want to hide when people look at me. It’s a growing thing I know I need to get over!!

Practice is what is required on all counts!

Anyway, fellow sketchers I want to take the opportunity to invite you over to our group: The Journal Project where we share our sketches, encouraging each other to do a little drawing daily. Come and join us.

It’s been a hot and humid day today, I’m hoping as we walk Ellie in a bit it’ll be a lot cooler.

Have a great evening

Oh Niki you are so good! I need to do this too...Well done for taking your drawing 'out' so to speak! I get terribly embarrassed too when i get compliments so I know what you mean! There really is no need though we should be proud!

I do that too, like mostly after breakfast I get my sketch pad, and draw something and sometimes its just nothing like a collage perhaps. Those were pretty sketch by the way, and I have to admit I'm not good at sketching peoples' faces..
