Pencil drawing 8X10.
The weather was so bad today, even hailed some. The rain and wind was really strong and loud. I don't like lightening and thunder because of the noise and the flashing. I did okay with it though.
My daughter's friends wanted to watch me draw something and I was planning just sketching something, although I am so not a sketch artist, but then they saw a picture in my files of this lion and instisted I draw it...so it took a little while, but I did it.
I would so love to learn the skill of being a sketch artist. That would be so cool to just sketch something really quick and have it actually look like something rather than a scribbled mess. It takes me a while to do something, although not as long as it would take others I suppose.
The weather is supposed to be more spring like tomorrow and I am looking forward to it. This is the 3rd weekend that I thought someone was coming to pick up and purchase some of my paintings, but yet again I think it is being postponed. I really need the money since i am still unemployed and it is driving me crazy. I hope she comes tomorrow.

you can't possibly think this looks like scribbling! There is nothing wrong with taking your time completing a sketch. I'd say that you have a hesitation in the early stages of your work... as if you are afraid you will make a mistake. When I first started art classes, I got an instructor that would not allow us to use erasers. We practiced loosening up by having time limits on drawing (1-20 minutes), using gesture style drawing techniques, never taking our eyes off the subject. It helped me to draw without having time to critique myself, which also showed me that I was my biggest roadblock. Don't give up. Keep practicing. It's the process not the product.
