Day 121 – Collage using magazine paper. This is my goto creative activity when I don’t have the energy (or courage?) to start something new. (Taken with instagram)

Day 120 – More practice sketching faces. (Taken with instagram)

Day 119 – Working on basic drawing skills. Directional gaze (away and down, in this case) and emotion (determined yet pleased) are what I am trying to convey. (Taken with instagram)

Day 118 – “and catch stars that shoot by.” Sketch for the children’s book. (Taken with instagram)

Day 117 – Can’t…keep…eyes…open. Will finish sketch tomorrow. (Taken with instagram)

Day 116 – working on something special for someone special. Mom, no peeking. (Taken with instagram)

Day 115 – A collage using magazine paper. (Taken with instagram)

Day 114 – Today I just want to celebrate a toddler’s love of drawing. Stella, 23 mos., holds the pen so precisely and focuses on filling the whole page with marks. I just love watching her. I filled the hearts in her artwork using the Sketches app on my iPhone. (How anyone can draw with any precision using such an app is beyond me.) (Taken with instagram)

Day 113 – Finishing sketches and adding text. I have 5 more pages to design, and as I lay these out I realize how different they really are. Clearly I am a hack. (Taken with instagram)
