New pebble drawing

 Hi all,


It's not quite finished yet but here is my latest drawing. I used a black pen and have drawn onto both sides and, no, I don't know what I'm going to do with it when it's finished! I just love to draw and if this lockdown goes on for much longer I might have enough arts and crafts to fill a gallery!!

 


 

 Thanks for looking and stay safe.

New lockdown drawing on a wooden pebble!!

 Hi all,


Just a quick share of my latest artwork. I've decided recently to try to stop being glued to my phone of an evening and use my free time a little more wisely to be creative!

I got some wooden pebbles a few weeks ago with a view of doing some pyrography (new treat to myself although my husband refers to it as a posh soldering iron!) I've still not gotten around to the pyrography although I have discovered that I love to draw on them! This is my first attempt, it was drawn completely freehand, I started in the middle with a black pen without sketching it first with pencil and hoped for the best so I'm quite pleased with the results! 


Thanks for looking and I hope that you're all ok and staying well.

Happy Haloween

 Hi everyone,

Just wanted to share my monster stone sketch for Halloween, I did this whilst watching a couple of episodes of shameless and thoroughly enjoyed both the drawing and shameless!

 It will also be my daughters 11th Birthday on Halloween so I have a scavenger hunt planned with plenty of treats and a few Halloween tricks....I'm possibly more excited than the kids!!

Stay safe everyone and I hope you all have a good weekend and enjoy your Halloween at home.
