Day 021: Draw Every Day in 2025

Good morning everyone!

Cold and frosty. A nice half moon hung in the blue sky when I walked the dog. Love seeing the moon in daylight.

Day 017: Draw Every Day in 2025

Good morning everyone!

A lovely fresh start to the day. It’s cold but clear and frost sparkles in the sun. The moon is simply wonderful in the pale blue of the morning sky.

Today, I drew a bottle I had on my table.

My drawing was sountracked by the album The Complete Kismet Acoustic by Jesca Hoop

It’s market day in our town. I’ve been out for our weekly supply of artisanal bread (I cut it and freeze it and it lasts all week), and some cakes from our favourite cake maker!

I hope you have a fantastic Friday and are looking forward to a wonderful weekend!

Big Love and Hugs ❤️

Day 016: Draw Every Day in 2025

Good morning everyone!

It’s a bit slippy out today: black ice. 

Not as cold as the last few days but it’s damp, so feels colder.

Day 015: Draw Every Day in 2025

Good morning all!

Another crisp start to the day. I like it when it’s cold and dry. The sparkling frost hugging the ground and the moon hanging in the clear sky. Stood for a moment with my dog and took a deep breath.

Day 011: Draw Every Day in 2025

Hello everyone!

Bit of a dull start to the weekend (weather-wise): overcast, damp.

Not that I knew what it was like when I started drawing this morning (just after 7am) with the fire alight and curtains drawn…

Today’s drawing is a mermaid, based on a tutorial by Mark Kistler (Check Out his YouTube channel here)

My drawing was sountracked by two albums by Tom RosenthalWho’s That In The Fog; and Keep A Private Room Behind The Shop

Day 009: Draw Every Day in 2025

Hello everyone!

Today, I drew this:

It’s based on a lesson from the book “Drawing in 3D with Mark Kistler”.

Today’s drawing was soundtracked by the album Build a Problem by Dodie

I started the drawing at 7am but didn’t finish it before serving the B&B guests their breakfast, then taking the cat to vets to check his glucose levels (he’s diabetic and on twice daily insulin injections!). I finished it, just now, after lunch.

I hope you have a great Thursday!

Big Love and Hugs ❤️
