More quick drawings…

April 11, 2016 By Marit 1 Comment

I am still drawing!!!

Yes, dear ones, I managed to keep up with the ‘daily drawing prompts’ – the challenge that Roxanne Coble (By Bun) hosts. It’s an easy challenge – you just take the ‘word of the day’ that she provides as inspiration to draw. You can use whatever material you like. Here are Roxanne’s prompts:

I prepared 30 pages of an old book by painting a thin layer of gesso over it, and I use a soft pencil for the drawings. I call it ‘quick drawings’ as I usually don’t spend much more than 15 minutes on a drawing. That way I know changes are the best to keep up with it.
Here are the drawings I made since Wednesday.

7. Crystal

(the ‘crystal’ drawing looks more like a mountain to me – however, I used a small piece of crystal as a reference. Here’s a photo of it.)

8. Something from the sea

9. Urban legend – in Dutch that is called “Monkey Sandwich” {Broodje Aap}

10. Insect

And here’s the drawing I made today during lunch… can you tell this was an extra quick drawing? I wanted to eat my sandwich (cheese on wholewheat bread) instead of drawing it!

11. Something you ate today

Thanks for your visit sweeties, I’ll be back with my ‘artist desk photo’ post on Wednesday. See you then!

    Wat heb je er leuke dingen van gemaakt! En voor mij een eye=opener dat Urban legend bij ons Broodje Aap heet. Ik moest lachen om je uitbeelding ervan.
    Toen ik het voor ‘t eerst op je blog zag, ben ik gelijk begonnen. Ik loop wel achter, maar dat mag (van mezelf). De eerste foto’s staan op m’n blog. Helaas is m’n fototoestel weg voor reparatie, dus de volgende foto’s laten nog wel een tijdje op zich wachten.
    Lieve groet.
