Welcome to our forum challenge for April 2019 in which we continue our encouragement to Draw from Life!
Let’s capture our own personal and individual moments and share them here on this thread!
All suggestions/subjects/themes come from those who participate!:lol:
** As you post your own drawing in this thread, please then also suggest ONE subject/topic for next month. One entry = One suggestion for the following month …. another entry? – another suggestion!:)
By the end of the month we should have a range of ideas from which you can choose – and please do feel free to discuss any of the suggestions raised: who knows, you may even start keeping your own private list for future ideas!**
One important rule –Entries must be at least 75% pen and ink[/SIZE] in any colour – and wash or colour may be added.[/COLOR]
********************************************Your topics for this month are …..
Favourite artist’s tool
Bags – of any description
a sign of Spring
fire
Draw something hanging on your wall
furniture
an ornament or sculpture we have in our house.
Garden accessories.
Some type of hair grooming tool
“discarded clothes” , interpret it as you wish ! but perhaps rather unimaginatively I had in mind drawing a still life of the folds & creases, the lighting etc.
draw a rug- I was specifically thinking of Persian or Oriental rugs with all the repetitive images.
Memorable structures. (could be your birthplace, hometown, or memorable designs, etc.)
Quite a selection!
Draw from life if you possibly can – but for some, that could be difficult!:)
Enjoy … happy drawing!:)
Cheers, Maureen

“A favourite artists tool” – just a quick scratch of about postcard size but fills 15 mins. For next month. “The scene looking out of my your window”
Crikey Mike …. that was quick! That’s a nicely drawn pen especially.:)

Hah! Mike beat me! Nice one, Mike.
Here’s my favorite artist’s tool. I’m guessing most people on this forum has one or more Lamy Safaris! And, I know many use Platinum Carbon Ink. I like to sketch with it, but I’m also being slowly won over with Uni-pens.
About 5×7 or so on HP watercolor paper.
PLEASE excuse the color. I got carried away with my love for my yellow EF Safari
I have a red, yellow and 2 black Safaris. I can’t explain how I ended up with all of them…For May: Sketch something outside.
That’s working very nicely John, nice tight lines.I think your use of colour is perfectly balanced for P&I too.

Oh dear , you’ve got it bad too !
MikeJohn – a beautifully balanced grouping – nice linework and I think the colour is good! (Gold – looks expensive!;))
Sanlynn – very intricate, convoluted forms here – good! (We need your suggestion for next month please!:)

Hi sanlynn, that’s a really nice drawing, all of those dynamic curves & folds lead my eye to flow down it like a waterfall. Love it !
Mike
PS. You forgot to suggest a subject for next month
“Garden accessories” This thing is easier to pull/chop weeds with than to draw. Fun sketch none the less!
Next month suggestion, “Typography”
