Last night, the thought of not having anything interesting to show for our What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday link party made me get to work on a sketch (if you need a push to get some crafting or art done, maybe you should come and join the party!) I just did it for practice (as they say, practice makes perfect and I am quite pleased with my progress since I started doing more art). I have a file of magazine pictures which I bring out when I'm looking for a model to sketch. And since my desk was full, I did it on the bed and took this picture...
But since this really isn't my desk and it wasn't a Wednesday yet, I took a picture of my desk this morning...
But since this really isn't my desk and it wasn't a Wednesday yet, I took a picture of my desk this morning...
...with my project (colored in with colored pencils, Copic markers and watercolor), a toilet paper roll (shall I keep it for a project?), and a book I got for 5 Philippine pesos (This money exchange website converts this to 0.071 GBP or 0.11 USD!) What a bargain! It has many beautiful illustrations in it...
| and the binding is perfect for an altered book (based on what I learned from Elizabeth, the Altered Book Lover!) I get so excited when I find things like this. I just hope I'll get around to using it! If you want to join the party and show your desk, or have a peek at desks from around the world, drop by Julia's blog! Happy WOYWW! p.s. I'm delighted that fellow WOYWWer Wipso won my OWOH giveaway! |

I love seeing your drawings - brightens my day. What a fab bargain that book was, drool over it before altering it. #27
Is this how you get inspired? Wow! I've never done that. I might try it out and see what comes out od it. :) Beautiful portrait!
I could never do anything like that - just wonderful. That's why I buy stamps - I can't draw, lol!

Hi. Beautiful sketch and I love that book. what a bargain too! Thanks for coming to join my blog too. I appreciate all the people who choose to follow my creative journey.

Oh lovely ladies and lovely bird book too what a great find; I was given one recently for my birthday and think my friend might use it for something else but can see I will be using it in my craft.. sorry these days its rather a one way train of thought of how to craft-use it!

Your sketching is gorgeous, and keeping magazine pics for practise is a great idea. The book looks like a wonderful find as well, amazing pics.
wish i could draw like that. Can't even draw the cartoon cats my Mum used to do. Will stick to colouring in stamps1
Thanks for the look.

Wow owow - how lovely is that sketch -doesn't take you long when you start, huh! I like the book too - even if you don't alter it, it's really nice...any herald of spring anywhere is a good thing!
Oh wow love your drawing much nicer than the one in the magazine ~ Nicky 4
Oh my goodness, I would be embarrassed to show you my work space right now as I am getting ready to a show in a week and things are scattered about - everywhere.... Great sketch...hugs.
First, I'm glad to read Wipso won your OWOH giveaway. Second, I LOVE that book. It would make a great one for the birds alone. Sorry this is brief, but wanted to let you know I was here. Happy WOYWW.
