i think i'm going to start on some drawing challenges. my drawings are wavering and it's annoying the crap out of me.
i feel like my brain is getting in the way. (give me a second to laugh at that)
it's so nerve wrecking staring at a blank sheet of paper and thinking about what to draw. i'm psyching myself out.

anyways, i'm going to be looking into some drawing challenges. OR if anyone has any challenges, please feel free to leave it in the comments and i'll see if i can do it. or any celebrities they'd like to see drawn...i just need to get back into the drawing saddle.

alrighty then! onto the drawing for the day:

hope everyone is having an amazing friday!

sunburn

don't you hate when you scratch your skin, momentarily forgetting you're sunburned? yeah, i'm not a fan.

san antonio was fun. i had no idea the zoo was as big as it is. we walked through it all day and still only got to see about 3/4 of the whole thing. i was able to sketch a few things. here's a page from the day:

sketching animals at the zoo was another assignment from carla sonheim's 'drawing lab'. i'm having a lot of fun with this book. there's nothing stressing about it and i'm less critical of my results. :)

an assignment i had done before this was some blind contour giraffes! now, if you don't know what blind contour is...its real simple. its just drawing with a continuos line without looking at your paper.

 i was supposed to try this out with other animals as well, but i forgot. :( i'll probably get to it another time.
these next ones were done just for the fun of it...while listening to the doors. ah, jim morrison.

anyways, happy monday!

cats in bed
