Some more illustrations from last year

Can't believe it is almost the middle of September and this is my first post for this month.Life tries really hard to get in the way of my blogging!Too many things to do and no enough time.
Well,today the things are going really good so far.Almost all the chores were done in time,my kid was  at school and the computer was waiting patiently for me.So I embraced this opportunity and here I am,at the computer.Sometimes I wonder why I do that.The blogging ,I mean.To brag about myself and the things I do and make?I don't know.I think I do it more as therapy; to distract myself from the hardships of life,to try to look at my life from a different perspective and ,I hope, to inspire somebody the way I get inspired by the other people's blogs.
These three illustrations were inspired by Christmas and the flying away year of the rabbit, 2011.

Doodles and drawings #147,148 and 149

They are just three quickies.I could do better for sure.But that is what one can get for the few minutes during her break at work.Today was a good day.Beautiful weather, almost all my chores done,talked to a friend on Skype,my kid is getting more independent,my diet is working.What else could I wish for?

#145 and 146

Two more from the challenge from the last year.There are only about ten more to go.Used watercolor pencils.

The first four ones

I have never published two posts in one day but today it is an exception.These are the first four ones from my challenge.I had to make up for the first days of the year.I hope I will be able to ketch up in a couple of days and after that it will be easier.The first one is from a picture,#3 ans4 from life and #4 is a fantasy lady.I used ink pens and watercolor pencils.

The Challenge

It is snowing slowly and lazily outside.I love this kind of weather.It is warm and cozy inside.I sit behind the computer and waste my time.I've already checked my favourite blogs and there is no reason to go on sitting here.I realize I should use my time in a more creative way.
I make "to do" lists so some ideas do not fall through the cracks.Anyway it is a New Year.One should start it with new hopes,new plans and new ideas.One should take new roads and have new beginnings.

I had hard time deciding how to start my blogging journey for this year.Last
weekend I went to the website of Etsy.com and on their blog I read the inspiring article about Noah Scalin.He challenged himself to make a scull a day to keep his creative juices going.I got so excited reading about his creativity journey that in a moment of weakness I left a comment saying that I would challenge myself doing a sketch a day for the entire 2011 year.Now I realised what I got myself into but at least I will try.Yes I am going to try.It could be not only sketches but drawings and some other art pieces.And if I miss a day I will have to make up for it.I will post updates once or two times a week several pieces at a time.
I am doing it for myself to keep myself going.
