Drawing a Day Challenge - Day Thirty-One

I remember as a teenager I was quite fascinated by the graphics on sweet wrappers and tins of fizzy pop.

My impression of a chicken looks more like a Road Runner..... Beep! Beep!  It was quite good fun drawing the chicken whilst very quietly impersonating the rooster, who vocalized loudly.

I always like a good cup of tea made with loose tea and poured from a tea cosied pot.  Earl Grey, Assam, Darjeeling, Ceylon and Lapsong Soushong are my firm choices. I absolutely detest tea bags with a vengance.

This is positively scary if this a true representation of one of my hands.  I'm hoping not.

Went to the seaside yesterday with the family.  So whilst they were busy crab fishing, I did a couple of quick sketches.  This challenge is certainly teaching me that I don't need to worry to much about the detail. It is fine to just scribble down a note of what I see.  My confidence is certainly building and subject matter or moments I see that I wouldn't normally draw I am having a go at.

This was a real toughie to draw.  The wheels were all twisted and I was really tempted to straighten them out to make life easier.  Then I decided that if I keep, 'making sets', my drawing will never move forward and I will always back out of drawing the more challenging items.

I'm still a day behind.  So here's the fourteenth sketch.

A selection of buttons I found stored in an old travel sweet tin.

There's not been a lot of time again today as I've been doing a workshop for the village Fun Day. I guess you can tell by my sketch what I was showing the children how to make.  It always amazes me the 'Feel no Fear' approach a lot of youngsters have.  I showed a 5 year old how to measure 2 strips of paper which she had never done before, she bravely battled with my instructions and with a small amount of support produced a lovely alternative to a paper plane.  It flew beautifully.

Another attempt at drawing Biscuit.  As a teenager I used to favour drawing in pen and ink, it seems that some things never change.

It's so easy to get behind.  It's the weekend so my routine is obviously different and being school holidays there is a certain boy that needs plenty of input.  I found it quite difficult to draw today.  I've been eyeingup the mint on my window sill for a few days but now I've come to draw it I feel I haven't really done it justice.  I think I need to have a go at drawing plant life again.
