Jasmine

I'm creating a drawing a day, for two years, just for the art of it.

This is from the 28th May, I've had no WiFi.

Jasmine drawing (I drew from life)

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.
Today's drawing is my daughter, drawing. I worked from life and I didn't try to make her sit still, I stopped when she finished her drawing and ran off.
Today's art tip: Work from life sometimes. Photographs are technically easier as they hold still and have already been turned into two dimensions for you, but emotionally harder as you carry the life of the thing, from thing-to photo-to page, not just thing-to page, it can lose some life in the process.

Today's is a pen drawing of Jasmine. It's not too good. I'm still sick and exhausted.

My girl, my star, and the moon she drew!

Today's is my daughter. My children are the stars that light my universe, so I think they are endlessly interesting to draw. If you don't think so, you don't have to look! :)

My daughter joined in today and did a moon.

Beautiful, brave Jasmine

What do you think? Are my portraits improving? Do you enjoy seeing my drawings? Will my creating a drawing a day change my life or that of another? I have four kids and a baby here today, should I have used the time I spent on this to wash our bedding? Day 244, I must have spent at least 100 hours on this, is that wise?

Jasmine and Dylan

Today's is my children snuggled up together.

It's coloured pencils on brown paper. Caran d' ache watersoluable pencils and Derwent Inktense but I have decided to leave them as pencil lines and not take a brush and wash the colour around. Included an earlier version too.

Jasmine my ethereal muse.

Today's is my daughter Jasmine, I have drawn it on a beer mat. Jasmine is having hot chocolate in the pub at dinner time.

I guess you can draw anywhere and you don't need expensive materials, although they should be good enough not to mess you up.
