Flower on blue and why draw?

I'm creating a drawing a day, and the #drawingadayclub to share some beauty and tolerance, to intersperse the mundane and frightening content that makes up so much of our social media.

I'm creating a drawing a day to inspire other artists to return to art, share more art, or just work for pleasure in secret because I reminded them they love it - whatever their art form.

I'm creating a drawing a day, to grow as myself and set a good example to my children of creativity, purpose and persistence.

I'm creating a drawing a day to bring diverse people together over their love of art, people who never would have connected, who comment, join in, and in turn help one another.

I'm creating a drawing a day because people message me to say it helps them.

Page of rabbits and art tip

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.

Today's drawing is a page of rabbits, and a little pencil test in the corner.

Today's tip: Things are not really made of lines, they are areas of colour, and light and shade. Try out a little light and shade, pencils have a range, shown in the corner of the picture, get some nice soft ones (2B, 3B... the Bs are soft) and take some part of the drawing as dark as you can.

Two Craines and an art tip from me.

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.

Today's drawing is two cranes.
Today's tip is: Try to help others, think of them as your future CONTACTS not your future competition. Also helping is rewarding and inspiring in itself.

Tulips with pencil and nerd paint

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it.
Today's is tulips with pencil and nerd paints. Actually yesterday's as I missed a day. What are nerd paints? Paints made by games workshop for painting little miniature elves and such. They are made to very high specifications!
