new sketchbook

Sunday sketch – a rainy day

On Saturday I gifted myself a new sketchbook.

It’s the perfect size – the paper is not too thin, not too thick. I know it’s a good one because I’ve already filled in a number of its pages – there’s a lot of bad drawings; plants and one of the cat. But the ones I love the most are of Daughter human. There’s already a lot of her in there because she’s home at the moment.

Monday sketch – home early from school and making creatures 

I’m so thrilled to just be drawing for drawing with no real plan right now. I’ve finished a bunch of new little drawings, I’ll post about that when they are ready to be sold. Buy them!

Tuesday drawing – heidi hair

We’re all a little over the wind, the rain and the cold but I think that’s normal for the end of July on this side of the globe. To think that the place she was born in she was a summer baby!

Speaking of the place she was born – Wales-  a tree was planted there when she was born, and now there’s a fruit tree planted in Uganda. What’s a better gift in this world than children and trees! More on that in the coming months.

Stay warm and hydrated people!

Growing my hair out, sort of like a hair helmet at the moment! I am thrilled about it, as you can see 😉
