Buildings and my drawing experiences!

A trip up to Central London always excites me. This time l decided to take some images of glass and structures, that caught my eye. Here are just a few.






Then earlier this week,  on my walk home, l spotted some fungi. These just shone out from the woods. Such an amazing rich colour and so shiny, l could hardly miss them, even among all the dead leaves.


Then l also spotted this one, hidden under some dead leaves.


Over the last month or so, l have been sketching everyday, trying to improve my drawing. I also think l need to get over showing people my work. So here goes!









Then of course ... there always has to be some doodling! I could sit and do these for ever. Very addictive! :)



I have also decided that l needed to improve my " people " sketching. I have always been told l couldn't draw, by many a teacher! So l decided to prove them wrong. Each day l try and do some sketching in a coffee shop, on the street or on a tube. I was also very embarrassed to draw in public but decided what the heck ... just go for it girl. So here are some of the sketches l have done recently. 




I have also been practicing drawing coffee cups and containers! I really am enjoy this drawing experiment.


Thanks for visiting. :)

I love your people! I ignore those who say you can't draw, but we all need to practice I guess ;)

Thanks Emma.
I now practice everyday and am pleased to announce that my draewing is getting better. The big problem l know how, is remembering what l want to draw looks like! :) My husband says it is all to do with being over 60! :)

I love your sketches, especially the ones of the people you draw from life, it's very daunting sketching in public but once I get over my nerves I love doing it. Practicing every day makes a huge difference, I've been doing it for 5 years now and have only missed about 4 days.

Hey lynda Maya speaking. Love all the sketching and remembered the drawing books that you made for us where on each page there was a different thing that we had to draw. I loved it!
