Everyday Matters Challenge 48-New Year's goal
The challenge for Everyday Matters this week is: "to draw something that represents a personal goal or wish for the new year. Let your drawing of the item help focus you on your goal".
So with my colored pencils, I drew my gym bag - I have been swimming laps for two years and I want to keep committed to that goal as well as more exercise such as walking. I also did a graphite sketch & made some notes for myself from a lesson in a drawing book because this year I want to focus on drawing facial features!! I have to keep in mind that if I remember that usually certain features line up in such a way that if you are accurate with your measurements/placement, you might actually draw something that looks like the individual!

Hey Laurie!
Thank you so much for that warm welcome :). Yup, that particular illo of the girl witht he book is one of my favourites too...I call it 'Leisure'...and the one of the girl on the beach? Well, I like it because of how well the facial features and the collage on the skirt turned out :)...Glad you enjoyed them as well as I did :)
All the best with your resolution! I'm not even bothering to make any of mine gym-related *groan*...I'd find it impossible to stick to it
:(
Anyhoo :D, Seeya
GREAT Resolutions! I've succeeded in walking 4 miles this year -- yeah -- but haven't drawn my shoes yet -- LOVE your bag and your resolution!!
I like your spirit and I think these drawings are very strong, Laurie. I bet you'll be so happy in a couple of months at the progress your daily work will bring.
Great job on that bag Laurie. Good personal challenges and I know you will do them faithfully.
The bag is fabulous!!! Good luck with your resolutions and keep up the sketching. They are really great!

Nice colored pencil drawings and great goals for the new year.
Great goals for 2006 -- your drawings are wonderful!
Laurie,
What a neat sketch of facial features and how to line to develop a facial drawing using these figures. I studied this in school but never pay much attention to it when drawing. I think I will start to pay more attention to it and see if my facial illustrations improve.
Thank you for your kind remarks about my work, so encouraging! Happy New Year!
