More of the 30 Day Drawing Challenge.

Favorite Animated Character

When Beauty and Beast was released by Walt Disney Studios, I absolutely loved Belle.  She was a book worm, tender hearted, and gorgeous woman who got her prince in the end.  She was able to look past a person's appearance to find his or her good nature and I could see myself being friends with her.

Favorite Candy

 I can't help but like Almond Joy.  If I get a bag of the minis, I indulge and that isn't good for anyone's waistline.

Favorite Fairy Tale

I couldn't think of any fairy tale the day this challenge came so I drew the glass slipper from Cinderella.  I like the fairy tale but can't say that it's my favorite at the moment.

Family Portrait

 I wanted to create more a representation of my family instead of a realistic portrait.  I like the design of the lettering.

Favorite Plant

My grandmother's favorite flower was the ditch lily and an aunt of mine told me this after I got married.  I designed our invitation with a tiger lily and my bouquet had tiger lilies.  The vibrant colors were so attractive to me and I am in awe that I share this with my grandmother, a woman I barely knew.

Finally some drawings scanned...

My Favorite Animal

I finished up my 30 day art challenge and have started a new one.  I would post all of the pictures of that challenge in this post but felt that would be overwhelming to scroll down through all of the art.

The top one is my favorite animal.  I would prefer never to own a fish in my life for I killed one in college and cried over it even though it lasted one day.  Never give a pet to someone without consulting with them.  One of my friends had this goldfish he won at a carnival that was about half a foot.  I thought the thing was beautiful and graceful.  As a little girl, I watched my uncle's fish and felt the same way.  I associate with fish in the sense that they are graceful when they swim and seem light, fluid, and uninhibited.

My Favorite Book

I wouldn't say that this is my absolute favorite book but it is a book I like and I love the words.  The overall theme that I received from this book is to take a chance.  I'm currently heading into a year without a job other than being a full-time mom and I'm taking control of the situation with some of my dreams.

My Best Friend

I hurt my best friend from college and haven't talked to her in two years.  I've attempted to reach out to her at least five times and have not heard back from her.  I wish she knew that I was there for her if she needed me to be.

My Favorite Food

I'm in love with junk food but love how fruits look drawn up.  Sometimes I pass on chocolate for the exotic flavor of a banana or the sweet flavor of an orange.

My Favorite Place

This is an aerial view of my in-law's boathouse.  Jumping off the dock into 10 to 16 feet deep water does unnerve me; however, watching the amount of enjoyment my kids have here eases the fear enough for me to have a good time.  Plus, I love jetting across the water on a jet ski or in a boat.

I was inspired to create a 30 day challenge. I haven't done this myself but intend to when I'm done with the art challenge I am working on.  This is intended to be interpreted however the artist sees fit; maybe through crafts, photography, or drawing.  Enjoy.

POD

make custom gifts at Zazzle

I'm trying some POD sites.  This seems like a neat way to get my artwork to the public since I can't be my own best collector.  Check it out.

30 Day Challenge...

Ohh boy.  Here we go.  Day one of the the challenge is to draw a picture of myself.  The original photo I drew from is above and the drawing is next to it.  Course, it looks different.  There is beauty in imperfection.

So I drew on some watercolor paper that I recycled off an old painting of mine.  The finished product is in Sharpie.  I obviously edited details from the original photo since it was an awful photo to begin with.  Any photo that has dull or shadows over the eyes so you can't see the sparkle makes the person look dead.  Plus I seem to have turned the face a little in the drawing.  Either way, results are successful since it has been a long time since I have draw myself from a photo.
