I'm still loving my Year of the Doodle planner/art journal. I love the small size for each day, the beginning backgrounds, and the prompts. Well, most of the prompts- sometimes I ignore them and do my own thing.
I turned the splotches of color into little birds, adding a few more with watercolor pencils so I'd have a whole flock.
I continue playing with doodling. I'm reading Danny Gregory's The Creative License and appeciating his reminder to draw what you see, not what you think you see. It is interesting that when you really look at something, it is often not quite the way you see it in your mind .
It's no secret that I love Vivian Swift's art and blog. In a recent post she explained how she paints teacups, making the tea in the cup lighter at the far rim as that's the way it is when you look at it. Sure enough - again, what you think it is isn't always how it really it. I'm trying to really look at things as I try to draw and , who knew, it makes my drawing more realistic.
The picture on the right started out as the watercolored squares - so fun to turn them into faces!
As if this book isn't fun enough, our Montana grand loves working in hers. I love anything that helps me stay connected to this far-away sweetie.
