As some of you may remember, my one New Year's resolution this year was to sketch for at least 10 minutes each day. Well, I can't say that I get to it everyday, but the result is that I sketch A LOT more than I used to!

Next week's theme at the Ants is "Pet". They'd love to have more people join in!
You and your kids are all very talented!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing what you've sketched.
Good job also with the still life, my favorite details are the leaves on the right lemon.
your whole family is drawing such lovely sketches. this week i am especially fond of your daughter's kitchen!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement, ladies!
DeleteI like them all. My favorite this week is your daughter's kitchen. LOVE the composition, coloring, choice of different drawing mediums and line widths, depths and colors chosen. Very very cool. Also love your son's focus on just the legs. Original (:
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Sheila, your new year resolution has challenged me! I love seeing all of your guys sketches. This time my favourites are Kitchen and Fruit! The latter reminded me of Valentin Serov's Girl With The Peaches, for some reason))
