Welcome to our forum challenge for June 2019 in which we continue our encouragement to Draw from Life!
The aim is to 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 …..
A clock
Favourite coffee/tea cup
Protea-like flower
Leisure equipment
A bicycle
An object within 6 feet of your position!
A slightly open cupboard – and what you can see there!
Sorry to be late in posting this – and as we’re a little short of suggestions this month, I’ve added a couple!:angel:
Cheers, Maureen

My favorite coffee cup from the movie, “Red Dawn!”

For July: Something in your yard/garden.
That’s quick work John … and the coffee’s gone too!😁
Confident shape, nice soft wash.Cheers, Maureen

Sandy.C&C always welcome
http://Sandrakatich.shutterfly.comThanks a lot that protea like flowers were part of the challenge Charlie’s mum. Here is my contribution, a posy of blushing bride aka Serruria Florida. I drew them with pen and black ink and then coloured it with some caran d’ache colouring pencils. I have to say the colours didn’t come out very well in the scan, but could be worse I guess
Love the soft spikiness of this drawing – nice grouping too.
Cheers, Maureen

This is something that was within six feet of me. It’s a glass rooster on a shelf in our living room. Getting the tail right was the hardest part and I still don’t know if it’s quite correct somehow.
John, nice shadows on the mug even though Red Dawn is not my favorite movie, lol. :wink2:
Magdalene, such lovely flowers. I could imagine your drawing on a box of tea or as a print on a wall.
Idea for next month: something that provides light
C&C welcome and appreciated
Protea-like flower, graphite, pen-and-ink and colored pencil highlights, done on 5-1/2″ x 8″ (~15 x 21 cm) 60# (85 gsm) paper:
Skip Keyser
skipkeyserart.blogspot.comSkip, this is a lovely piece of work, but not really pen and ink!
The forum and rules for this challenge require 75% to be pen and ink.This would fit beautifully into our Floral and Botanical forum though …. please do post it over there!:)
Monarch … a lovely drawing of the glass rooster .. well done conveying the material!
Cheers, Maureen
