Sunday Sketches

I've decided to take up another challenge - got to keep those creative juices flowing - and join Sunday Sketches as hosted by Blue Chair Diary.

Other than keeping up my drawing and sketching ability, I also would like to fill up the billions (ok a bit of an exaggeration but you get the picture) of sketchbooks I have lovingly purchased and looked at over the years, but never actually filled with anything. Those for a penchant for art supplies will know exactly what I am talking about. So now is my chance.

I haven't a clue if one week they will be representational of the subject, a whimsical picture, or maybe even an abstract offering .....all I know is that it will keep my creativity in full force and on the path I want to be on. Exciting stuff!

So without further ado here is Lala...named by Ollie as he thinks this looks like his older sister. A whimsical start to the challenge. Not sure who she is, or why she is just standing there in her stripey socks looking mischievous...it was just one of those random drawings from within.

Please nip over to Blue Chair Diary's blog for the other sketches.

Have a creative and relaxing Sunday xx

She is very cute, well done. She does look like she is/has just played some joke on someone.

I too spent years buying art supplies without actually doing anything with them. I'm doing much better now though!! Lala is very cute and does indeed look like she is up to mischief!

You inspire me by everything you do. I caught glimpses as Lala was being created & I watched in wonder ! Now all I need to do is learn what all those brushes do ;-) x

I love your artwork! Her striped socks are so awesome! I wish I could color as good as you do...I am more of a graphite person I guess. Keep your creative juices flowing!
