Happy New Year Friends!!
Have YOU put on a your creative thinking cap(s) for 2019?
I purchased this art book a few years ago…
It is just the daily inspiration I need in the new year!
I made a book-marker for it… You can see I have a square as part of my design (see yesterday’s post).
What inspiration will YOU use in your creativity in the new year? I hope you share it with me!
Cheers to new creative discoveries! 🙂
I’ve been drawing faces of girls in my sketchbook lately as part of an assignment for the online class I’m taking from Carla Sonheim, “Y is for Yellow.”
I started with the hair first for these gaggle of girls:
And I really surprised myself! These look like REAL people! LOL! 🙂
The next faces I drew started with the eyes first:
I think all my drawing practice is starting to pay off! I am starting to enjoy drawing people.
Remember the bookmark that I submitted to Uppercase Magazine at the end of January?
Well, it didn’t get selected for the magazine but it is available for a free download if you subscribe to their free newsletter! Here is the link if you want to sign up:
It is pretty cool to see my bookmark with all the other 300 bookmarks for the contest – LOTS of creative people out there!
Happy Drawing and Reading! 🙂

Summer is the time that I like to curl up in the shade and read a good book. So I decided to make a couple of bookmarkers with my silly fish:
I drew them with a black Micron pen and then colored with Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils.
I think I like “Baby Face” the best! 🙂 Do you have a favorite?
I am currently reading this book, “Sarah’s Key” by Tatiana de Rosnay:
It is an excellent story about July 1942, the days of the Vel’ d’Hiv’ in Nazi-occupied Paris. Have you read it?
I borrowed my book from a friend so I thought I’d return it with one of my fish bookmarkers.
I also made one to keep for myself – this one is double-sided:
I used cheap watercolors and Prismacolor pencils to color this one.
What book you are reading or would you recommend? I’d love to hear from you!
Happy Reading! 🙂
