Fish Drawings

I wanted to refresh my drawing skills so thought I would copy all the drawings in the book '20 Ways to Draw a Cat and 44 other awesome animals' by Julia Kuo. I have used this book in the past but have usually copied the easy looking drawings or the ones that appealed to me most. As a challenge I am aiming to draw all the animals in the book even if they look complicated.

Flowers, Ferns, Acorns, Thistles and Feathers

I started a new sketchbook with drawing practice

Sketchbook 55 - pages 1-9

In a Land Far Away - pages 1-6

I've finished another sketchbook, here are the first 6 pages.

The small arty group I belong to decided on the theme of  'In a land far away' for a joint challenge.

SF Design A Day 13 -15

Day 15 - Designer's Choice - the prompt Sf has picked for the final is watercolor.

This design includes pen drawing, stamping and watercolor. Below you can see it as a repeating design and I'll enter this one into the competition.

I had another go at day 12, typographical. I used the canvas I posted about recently.

Day 13 - Kawaii [cute]

Day 14 - Found Object - I used some green chicken type wire. I created the background on my tablet.

Bears and Lions

Drawing practice, ideas from the book '20 ways to draw a cat'.

SC- Patterns

I've chosen these pages from the ones remaining in sketchbook 19 for the sketchbook challenge of the month - patterns.

I have used watercolours and pens on all of them. The top has some found cherubs and there is textured folded artwork on the one below.

I cut the shape of the bird from a coloured page in a magazine

The biscuits were in a magazine, I drew on eyes and mouths to make them look like faces.

The figures were shapes roughly cut from a magazine
