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

The Journal Project–Come Join Us!

 

It’s here, it’s here!! I am so excited about this project, I do hope you’ll join me!

How to take part:

Take 1 sketchbook, 1 pencil and 1 eraser and draw for at least 5 mins per day, whilst waiting, watching tv, sitting outside, whenever you can find 5mins or more to sketch, doodle or write.

1 Rule:

It must be positive! Only draw things that are good, positive and loving, no dark art or adult content please. Drawing good things will make you feel fantastic even if you had been having a bad day till then. Conjure up good memories and draw from that place.

The aim:

To get people who have a passion for drawing back to it, in a simple way just taking a small amount of time daily, building up a sketchbook of happy doodles to make you smile.
For project ideas or just for yourself this project will help you to enrich your life, use the gift inside of you and feed that passion of wanting to draw.

Join us on Flickr where you can post your sketches: http://www.flickr.com/groups/journalproject

Have fun! Feel free to grab our button on the left and tell your friends about us.
