My daughter asked me to draw a dragon for her.
This is "Tangerine Leaf", drawn with Copic markers and colored pencils.

I also made this little chibi of the dragon:

One sketch a day 5-8

Day 5: Another kitten

Experimenting with color pencils and  my sepia pen, it works on the paper but the pen bleeds trough the thin paper :(

Day 6: Baby meerkat

Those animals are so cool! This is a quick sketch in blue pencil and micron pen.

Day 7: a butterfly

Experimenting with color pencils.

Day 8: another labrador puppy

Just pencils, charchoal pencil and the white Signo pen again :)

One sketch a day: day 2, 3, 4

The first 4 sketches are done. I've chosen my favorite animals and have drawn them from a photo on the web.

Day 2: turtle

Day 3: labrador 

day 4: kitten

These drawings took each almost one hour to complete. For the last two I didn't use a charchoal pencil, this makes those drawings 'softer'. It's very hard to take good photo's of pencil drawings, and the weather is very dark in Belgium... I still have to make my drawing for today, I'll do that this evening :)

One sketch a day, Restarting the drawing habit: Day 1

Yesterday I went book-hunting on our yearly book "festival" in Belgium: "De Boekenbeurs".  One of the books I brought home is this little "One sketch a day" notebook. It could be just what I need to start drawing reguraly again...

You can see that the drawing space is small, 7 x 12 cm for each day. (about the size of a playing card)
I'm really looking forward to drawing something small each day. We'll see if I can keep up with it for a whole year....

For my first drawing I looked up a photo of an owl.... don't really know why, I just like them :)
I found this picture on Pinterest: wildlifenh.com
And this is my first drawing:

I used graphite pencils, charcoal pencils, a very fine Micron pen and a white Signo uni-ball marker.
So much fun to draw again :)
