I'm still doodling... quietly and consistently sketching away!
OK so the book is coming along and both
Freddy & Dancer have featured... so those illustrations are in,
but I've hit a snag. No no not writers block pre-Christmas requests
for doodles! I mistakenly posted some of my doodle pictures on my
personal Facebook page and now the ladies want me to draw something a
little more girly. To be precise their daughters want me to draw
something a little more girly.
So here I am, nursing a sick baby,
pencil and notepad in hand sweeping those lines across a page hoping
that somewhere in the swirls a ballet dancer will appear. You see I
can't draw humans, no really I can't. I've spent my entire childhood
doodling bunnies, horses, sea shores, shells, dragons, more horses
and any number of animals. Figures? Nope, it's literally back to the
drawing board for me.
I've started with stick men and then
added blobs and then sketched around the blobs to form an outline.
For some reason my arms or legs (never both) look a little stumpy...
and my noses look huge and that knee there looks a bit like a
horses... I don't think I'll ever be happy with the end result.
However, I've given it a go and here's
my first ballet dancer effort. It's taken me nearly 10 days to
doodle, refine, doodle, throw away and start again, doodle...
sketch... ink!
Let's hope Mia likes it and Ava doesn't
want one but different...
I'll do 3 different ballet poses, 3
different Pegasus poses and then on to the seaside theme someone else
has just asked for... I'm leaving Fairies and Princesses and wotnots to Anna. She's the one with the Art degree for heavens sake!!
So please check out our Facebook page for our abc (art 4 babies & children), I can draw to order and if you're quick it can be gift wrapped and posted to you in time for Christmas!
A watercolour of Dancer. Mounted ready to frame and for sale!

Did I mention I'm fond of dragons? I have a fishing dragon, a Mummy & baby all inked, mounted and ready to go to a new home
