I am 20150105_102845going to keep this post short, as I have sprained my ankle this weekend, and I can’t sitĀ at my computer for very long without throbbing coming back.

20150105_102905I just wanted to let you all know about my very talented friend, Jami Lola (YT: Poetspice) hosting a January Doodle Days challenge. Draw 30 doodles in 31 days, share, be inspired, and have fun!

I plan to draw using all different mediums and share with you the different results you can get from each of them. These first 5 wereĀ mostlyĀ drawn with Derwent Graphic pencils of varying hardness. 3B is the softest and great for shading and less detailed subjects. Ā B is in the middle, and is one of my favorites to work with for general drawing. Ā And at the other extreme, 3H is very hard and great for details and quite light (unless you exert a lot of repeated pressure).

The following is a video share that I posted, describing the different graphite pencils I used and some of my drawing tools. I hope it is helpful:

The drawing at the top of my Bandito just before falling asleep is being entered into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are having a great day! WOOF
