encourages lots of drawing practice by drawing ordinary,
everyday things. Each week, the moderator posts a new theme for members to draw. Shortly after joining, I printed out the list of past themes so that I could start drawing some of them. I did a couple right away, then nothing until yesterday when I took out the list again and drew a few more. Not too bad IMHO, but I really need to work on proportion. Here are the few I've done so far (all in regular ol' No. 2 pencil):#56 self portrait
#10 hand
#34 leaf
#8 & #32 watch & something metallic
#13 phone
Great start! The EDM Group challenges were a really good way for me to really continue my resolution to sketch daily. I too had lots of past challenges to do when I joined last September. Please keep sharing!
ReplyDeleteI also loved seeing your fiery quilt. I've been quilting since 1980, but now need to apportion time between paper and fabric....
Welcome to Everyday Matters Jennifer! You will find these challenges become a record of your progress in drawing. Look back with pride! Your quilting and altered books are really fun to see, too!
ReplyDeleteWow, Jennifer, you've been busy. My favorite is the watch! But you did well with all the sketches. Welcome to the group.
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer, good for you for participating in the challenges - I know you'll find it stimulating and rewarding. Keep up the good work.

Excellent drawings. Your other work here is fantastic too. Great blog!
ReplyDeleteAll the things on your blog are interesting - I started doing an altered book but then it morphed into drawing and memory paintings from my childhood.
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer, I only recently joined EDM too. Wow! but you're off to a great start with the challenges. They're all excellent. Now that you've inspired me - where's my pen I need to make a start and do at least one challenge today. All the best.
ReplyDeleteI've just joined Everyday Matters myself and I enjoy looking at your sketches. I'll be back to keep up with your journey.
ReplyDeletewelcome jennifer, your drawings are fabulous, i love the watch. keep them coming. the rest of your blog is also inspiring.
