Some days (or nights when I can't sleep) I practise sketch things. Maybe it's an idea for a new painting in my head. Something I got from a dream (that happens quite often) or it's simply practising. Some things are hard to draw, like hands and feet, but I find face usually come to me reasonably easily. Last night I sketched these two ladies with a pencil. Then I used a bit of white acrylic paint to add depth and interest and a tiny bit of water soluble ink pencils (which are so cool if you haven't tried them you must!). I don't try to make my faces look completely realistic, I prefer a more whimsical version, bigger eyes, bigger lips, awesome hair LOL. When I am stress out to the max, drawing 'heals me'. If you don't draw yourself, why not give it a go. You don't need to be professional, just interested in creating something personally meaningful, an image with a story. I will post more of my sketches as time goes on. If you would like to see some of my artworks IN PROGRESS ~ from sketch to finished product, check out my WORKS IN PROGRESS ALBUMS on my Lisa Frances Judd ~ Artist Facebook Page.
Have a creative and joyful day :D Lisa
