| Pen on paper, digital color. |
Now that my book outline is done, I don't know what to do with myself after everyone goes to bed. That was my writing time, and I can't fall asleep any earlier than 1 a.m.
Therefore, I used the time to practice my sketching!
Don't judge, I'm still learning. Wonky eyes, wonky body shape, etc., I know, I know! Practice makes perfect, so I'm practicing!
After I finished this drawing, I noticed I used the word "she" two times. ARGH! In my mind it read "She had the whole world in her hands...and decided to share."
I pouted/cussed/hit the table so hard my stapler fell off the shelf for a moment and moved on. I can change it later, no problem. It will lead to more crafty opportunities. I can cover her dress in patterned paper or paint over it, or collage typed words over it.
Sometimes, mistakes are a good thing. They push us to learn and adapt. Accept them, own up, and march on to the next adventure!
(CRAFTY CHICA LESSON LEARNED: When it comes to illustrations, always do pencil first, and then step back and give it a once over. Make changes BEFORE you add the ink!)
I spent the night working my pencil-to-paper. Err, make that
eraser to paper. I cranked up
Bomba Estéreo and sketched away, bouncing in my chair the whole time. Here's a video of the band, I hope to see them in concert some day. I'll bring my sketchbook and dance in the front row at the same time!
Peace, love, and glitter!
Kathy :-)
