More Pencilling :)

-
Here's another pencil drawing that evolved as I drew. I started with the eyes and formed the face around them, the cat asked to appear on her shoulder and the hair arrived last of all!
If you've been following my blog for a while you'll know how unusual it is for me to work without colour so it was inevitable that a tiny spot of colour would end up there too!
My next one is very likely to have a little more colour than this. :)

After all that dark rain yesterday the sun is shining here today,
have a good weekend!xx

Love your pencil sketches, and that cat is so cute with the little paw on her shoulder. And that little dot of colour in there makes it complete. Great work!

Beautiful drawing!
She seems so serious, and the cat offers a sweet balance to her gaze … and the blue flower in her hair and a fantastic touch!

This is pretty Jess! Somehow, it reminds me of myself mourning over my beloved cat that died last november ... even though for you, it feels different! Love your cards below too! Have a super week!

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
