Dylan my son, Happy birthday.

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it.
Today's is my son, drawn from life not a photo, he is two today!

My son and an art tip from Elizabeth

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.
Today's drawing is my son done with a graphite block.
Today's tip is from writer Elizabeth Bailey.

Elizabeth Bailey "Avoid the cliche. If you're finding your work samey, try turning things on their head. There's always another way to say it, or draw it. Do something you don't usually do. Take a risk."

Today's drawing is my son Dylan.
Today's tip: It's more important that the colour work well together, than that it have anything to do with the subject. I have drawn my son with a brown and a blue pen. They look good together and have nothing to do with my pink and blond son!

Dylan, who makes everyone smile.

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

I'm much more than half way so this drawing is dedicated to all the people who have kept me going with your comments and likes. Thank you.

Dylan, my son.

My son from life.

As I'm not doing it for a client, the do not have to all be successful, this is interesting because I have started drawing all sorts of things outside my comfort zone. I'm good at landscapes, flowers, boats, buildings and patters and colours. I'm not good at people or fantasy art. But because I'm allowed to do some poor ones (like the one a couple of days ago) I can try these things out.

I'm a textile designer and some subjects, for example birds, really lend themselves to textiles, another interesting thing about doing a drawing a day for fun is I'm drawing all sorts of things that so don't belong on bedding or wall paper and then thinking of ways that they might!

Tim and Dylan, my husband and son

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

I've done quite a few drawings of my kids, but here is the gentle, funny, tolerant man who keeps the whole show on the road, fallen asleep with our son.

Also I have inspired Tim to draw, and here are his drawings too!

Drawing of my son.

The latest drawing in my mission to create a drawing a day for 2016.
Here is a drawing of my son. Apologies if anyone is getting board of me drawing my kids but I'm found of them and they are always around!
