I know that as of late I have had a number of posts about my recent little artworks painted on the side of cowbells. And while the cowbells are my current focus due to the popularity of them among my Facebook friends and local galleries, I thought today I would share some of the sketching I have been doing recently.
I was keeping a larger sized journal for the past year, but with the pressure of filling up the larger pages, I found I wasn't drawing it on a daily basis like I intended. In January I purchased a pocket sized sketchbook journal at Michaels and I just love it. I carry it in my purse along with my .005 Pigma Micron drawing pen. It is small and easy so I can pull it out whenever I have a few minutes.
I'm filling the pages with practice doodles, zentangle designs and intricate sketches. Not only do I find this fun and relaxing, I completely believe that keeping your drawing skills sharp is one of the best things you can do to improve your painting skills.
I hope you enjoy these pages I've selected and I would love to hear from you about what you are drawing.
