Bike Love

Growing up having a bike was everything. My bike was blue with a sparkingly white seat.
One year my bike was stolen because I failed to put it back in the basement at the end of the day. I came home and left it in the backyard.

Looking down from my bedroom window I cried and cried, why didn't I listen to my parents. When my friends came to get me after school I couldn't go. No riding to the park or library. No riding down steep hills, no discovering new neighborhoods. I thought if I stared enough at the place where I left it, it would reappear.

My dad came to my rescue after letting me suffer for a while. We went to Two Guys, a department store in New Jersey. Not only did I get a new bike but so did my sisters. I picked out a 3-speed gold bike with a gold sparkling seat. It was the best day ever. I made sure to always put my bike away at the end of the day.

Remembering that story brings back such a precious time, as children we were free to ride and explore.

Daily Face: June 28th

God is always there and when you need that extra help call on other Christians to say a prayer for you too.
What a difference prayer makes.

I need to find happier portraits to illustrate. However this is good practice drawing mugshots.

Playing Around in Rendr Sketchbook

Sketchbook #3: Enjoying Friendship

There's nothing like enjoying friendship, especially when your friend accepts you as you are.
I've been drawing in my sketchbook I call number three. This is the first picture that I've shared in a while. In a previous post I mentioned completing sketchbooks, I'm still working on this one but Sketchbook #4 is completed, go figure.

Just Because

I doodle these faces just because....,

What, Another Sketchbook

So it's official I can't help myself. I found this daily devotional book which I could not resist from purchasing. I love the color and engraving carve into leather. My purpose was to draw in it. Hoping that the devotional topic would be the inspiration for the drawing. I love people who can stick to drawing in one sketchbook everyday until completed, but I've found out that I am not that type of person. Eventually my journals get completed. So I am going to do me!

My May Challenge: Fabriano Sketchbook

Fabriano Sketchbook

I woke up this morning and decided to challenge myself. I have this sketchbook I purchased from Blick Art Supply its a Fabriano Sketchbook made in Italy. It has 40 pages. My challenge is to complete 35 pages by the end of May. Let me add this disclaimer: I am not good with challenges. However this will be the first challenge that I put on my blog that is not from someone else. Also I only plan on using my Tombo Dual Brush Pens in Gray-scale Palette to color all illustrations. This is my first drawing

Sunday Sketchbook and Notes

Thanking God for all of his wonderful mercies he has show us. It was a good day. I like to keep my Sunday's simple. We went to worship service, came home, ate lunch, took a nap, watered my garden, went back to 6 o'clock service came home, ate a snack, watched a movie. Nothing fast pace or stressful. In my What to Wear illo I got tired of drawing so many small dots, so the dress looks more white than it should.

CED: Poetry Week 4

My submission for Creative Everyday the theme is poetry.

A look,
read as a gentle whispering breath
saying
let your mind hear the wind, 
and the water blue
hurrying deep from the sky.

Sunday Face: April 19th & What to Wear

There was a tornado warning during Morning Bible Class everyone had to go into the hallways.

Do you love me my sister?

Sisters, they share the same parents yet they are different. Sometimes they know each others secrets and are told not to tell their parents. They can experience the same moment, yet remember it differently.They can love and hate each other, yet will be there. How do you remember your sister?

CED: Poetry/ My Daily Face/ Something?

My weekly submission for Creative Everyday, the theme being poetry which  is not exactly my forte, but I'm giving it a shot. The drawing is not that great, but I was trying to focus on the words.

dreams were to bless,
time followed through the dark shadow,
like music in the night, vanishing in the morning.

Daily Face: Student portrait

Something?

I had a good day at work. The time went by so fast. I drew my daily face portrait and scribble this woman on a scratch pad she's something.
