Jason and Mollie

Mollie is long gone, but she is still with us as we talk about her all the time and remember her sweet nature. 

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.

Blue-Haired Lady

This is my Blue-Haired lady. I love her. I need to name her, but right now I can't think of anything. Also, she needs a story. I just know it. She's begging for one. Just look at her. She has so much to say.

Doodle While You Work #11: Flip Girl

My little flip girl pencil sketch. When I first drew her hair, I thought, Darth Vader. 

Hopefully that isn't what you see first, or at all.

Red-Haired Flapper Girl Digital Drawing Made With Paper by 53

Last night I picked up the ipad for the first time in a long time.

She looks like a flapper a little bit.

This was fun to make. I like this guy's round face. 

Fancy

I don't know where this one came from. I was just trying to draw a ribbon banner at first, and then the word fancy popped in my head, started drawing a girl, and she ended up looking a bit German. ha.

Jason #4. Happy 44th.

Today is my husband's birthday. I drew this of him last night while we were watching TV. I think it took a little over 2 hrs. Good thing about the Paper by 53 app is you can erase and start over as many times as you need (which I needed a lot) without ruining real paper. But, I'm pretty happy with it. It's the closest I've come to his true likeness so far.

Doodle While You Work #4: Feather

feather.

Just a bad one, but at least it's something.

Jason #3

not even a close representation of him, but I gave up.
