Sketching

:: my sketchbook :: 
Here are some of my sketches out of my sketchbook.
I am thrilled to announce... " I am half way through the challenge! "

:: 30 Day Sketchbook Challenge ::
 Let me share with you, what I have discovered so far -
** I can sketch an object in less time, then when I started.
** I look for shapes, shading, and details.
** none of them are perfect. 
**  a few of these drawings I think, belong right in the trash.
**  I am excited to document an event; to draw a quick sketch.
** a pocket size sketchbook works well for me; goes everywhere.
** I am falling in love with my sketchbook. 
"To draw is to make a shape and movement in time."

  3. I've so been enjoying your sketches April. I haven't been playing along...yet. But sketching is something I need to re-learn, re-open to. I have a trip coming up soon and am thinking that a sketchbook may be all the art supplies I take. I already bought a journal with both lined and blank pages. You've inspired me with your beauty xx
