Where I live the cold weather is rapidly overtaking us. This means it is time to break out the fur coats. I am not ready myself but hey it comes with the season. Today’s offering is a pen and ink offering filled in with one of my new favorite mediums Prismacolor Colored pencils. If you’re into colored pencils try a set.
Today’s drawing is another in a series of fairy drawings. I have a fondness for fantasy drawing and illustrations. I hope to do more of these drawings in the future. I hope you like this one.
I have enjoyed doing the year long drawing challenge so much so that I’ve decided already to continue on past this year. The new title is the 1001 Drawing Challenge. The current challenge will go forth unti the end of the year after that the new challenge will pick up with Drawing #366. The new challenge will not be a daily challenge but one of when I post the drawings. This is because I will also be doing a 52 Finished Art Work Challenge.
One of the things I love about art is the fact that it can be as simple as a pencil drawing or as complex as an oil painting. The choice is up to the artist. So if you create, create what you want just let inspiration take over.
I was born in West Virginia so have a fondness for all things to do with the mountains like a cabin in the woods. This is not to say I want to live in the mountains but I would love to visit and stay there for a few days at a time.The Bible tells us that all off God’s creation cries out His existence. This is one of the reasons I like the mountains because when I am deep in His creation I feel close to God.
I once read an article which talked about how an artist can enhance their skills in a certain area by doing a series of paintings. In another blog I am doing a 100 face challenge and in on Tumblr I am doing a series on cats. In this blog I am have not done much in the way of series except for the girls in dresses. I hope you enjoy this latest one.
When I was young you could find me on many nights looking up into the sky looking for falling stars. I believed in the old adage when you wish upon a falling star your wishes would come true. Since many of those wishes didn’t come true I guess I can give some of them away.
Like Charlie Brown I wished the girl who lived across the street from me would see me as her boyfriend. I wished to be one of the cool people at school. I wished to be good at something. These were only many of the wishes which went unanswered.
I know now many years later life is not about wishing on stars but putting your faith and trust in Jesus. He is the one who has the wisdom to guide me through life in order to avoid many of the pitfall which normally strike.
My wife has friends she has had since high school. Me not so much. I don’t have a clue where most of my classmates are now. I have also worked many places in my lifetime and had many friends at those places. I don’t know where any of those people are either. What I guess I want to point out is to hang onto your friends and when you see old friends for the first time again make sure you show them how much you appreciate them.
