Drawing a Knuckle

Today's prompt in my little art book was to draw "a knuckle".

 Hands are difficult to draw. Or is it just me?  

Don't worry, either, my fingernail is not really that fungus yellow color.

Drawing Pieces of a Shattered Bottled

Today's prompt in my tiny art book was to draw "pieces of a shattered bottle".

Very small shatter here. We don't want glass shards all over the floor, do we? ;)

Drawing a Tiny Robot

Today's prompt in my little art book was to draw "a tiny robot". 

Okay, so maybe I flaked out on this one. 

Just call me Amelia Bedelia. I'm very literal.

Draw a Smiley Face

Today's drawing prompt was to draw "a smiley face". 

I'm sorry he has a knot on his head. 

I guess I am not good on the up curve of drawing circles. ha.

Draw a Compass Dial

Today's prompt in my tiny art book was to draw "a compass dial".

I am finding this very relaxing. Though, I don't do it every day. 

More often it's in fits and starts.

Drawing a Trail of Bread Crumbs

Today's prompt in my little drawing art book was to draw "a trail of bread crumbs".

I think these prompts are silly when I first look at them, but it usually turns out that I have a lot more ideas once I start drawing. I guess that's the point. ☺

Drawing a Toy Boat Anchor in a Toy Sea near a Toy Beach with a Toy Starfish

As I mentioned in my last post, I received a little art book from my husband for Christmas. Today's prompt was to draw "a toy boat anchor".

Here I give you a toy boat with a toy boat anchor in a toy sea, near a toy beach with a toy starfish. fun! ♥

Drawing Eyes

One of my Christmas presents from my husband was a little book with pages and pages full of drawing inspiration. I opened the book one day to a random page, and was prompted to draw an eyelash.

Drawing eyes is a lot easier than I thought. As long as you get the basics, and it's recognizable, then your own interpretations on shading, light, size, shape will more than likely be a success.

The ONE thing I have a problem with, oddly enough, are the eyelashes. I look at other sketches of eyes online and the eyelashes have this sharp curve on them that I just can't replicate. I can draw an eye, but a single eyelash is giving me fits. Crazy, right?

Venus of Willendorf On Edge. First doodle of the year!

I picked up my ipad and opened the Paper app last night and drew this voluptuous lil' lady. They have new tools in the app where you can cut and paste shapes, so it was fun to play with that. I wanted to make her in the same vein as the Venus of Willendorf, whose body shape I can  relate to completely. ha.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year my little Face Dances blog. I need to get back to drawing and creating. I once in a while will pick up my ipad and draw in the Paper by 53 app, like below, but that's not enough.
