Drawing Lab by Carla Sonheim - Thursday Spot.




I contacted Carla Sonheim this week to see if she minded me blogging about my progress through her book, also if there was anyone else out there doing the same thing. She replied today, yay! She said that she didn't mind at all and that a while ago she'd set up a group on Flickr where people could share their drawings! :) Great!

Here's the group

Her book is really good fun, 52 drawing exercises that take the pressure off the end product, sometimes I really need something to get me drawing, to take away the fear of going wrong or doing a 'bad' drawing. I'll be working my way through and showing the results here on a Thursday.

So here's the first one!

#1 Drawing Cats in Bed.

My initial drawings:



I chose these cats to work with and tried a few different things, I used paint, pencil crayon and water.









 The expression on this kitty's face makes me smile. He's thinking 'don't you dare'.

Thankyou, Carla Sonheim! For your great book and for being so kind in your email. :)
I'm heading over to Flickr to add my pictures to the group!
