Sketching...Again

One of the things I really want to get back into is drawing. I have been concentrating on jewelry and hand sewing so much, that the drawing has been on the back burner for several years. So the other night I sat on the couch, and using a big book on tiaras as a lap board, and using some cheap printer paper, I started playing. This is what I came up with.

I'd seen a photo of a woman with the shapes of trees behind her and liked the image. As I started drawing this, I noticed that instead of the trees behind her, I had drawn the trees growing from her head, their roots tangled in her hair. Not sure what this means, as I wasn't thinking too hard about the drawing, knowing things would be pretty rough after all this time. But I like the way it turned out, and can't wait to do more playing with a pencil.

I will be making a big effort to draw at least one figure a day. May not happen, but no fewer than one a week. We'll see how things go.
