Hand drawing for WOYWW

I've had a busy week

but not in the art room,

I'm afraid.

Little Miss had a fight with a

softball in school sport last Friday

and the softball won. 

She had a bloodshot and very swollen

eye, nose, and cheekbone

so there were lots of kisses and cuddles.

Then I was still waiting for the double sided tape to arrive,

which it finally did, late on monday afternoon.

So I could finish my Egbert Notebooks

yesterday.

Today I had to run errands in the morning

but now I'm in drawing mode.

The Theme for this weeks APR is Pen, Ink and Paper

so I have started a pencil drawing of my hand

holding a pen

and hope to ink it tomorrow.

So, at last, here is my desk.

I'm in the family room again today as it's too cold in the office.

These are my dads drafting pens from the old days and I decided to draw them 

for the  APR theme.

This is still early stages

and looking at this photo,

the pens look a little drunk.

Will have to fix that.

If you are wondering how I drew my hand,

I'm left handed and held a pen in my right

and pencil in my left.

Once I get the shading and proportions right,

I will have a go at inking it.

Haven't done a proper ink drawing in years,

so fingers crossed.

I'm never alone when I draw in the family room.

Charlie the parrot is right behind me,

Smudge the guinea pig is just to my right

and the chooks are at the window next to me.

Here is a photo of my Egbert Books.

 

I think they look quite cute.

I've put one in my Etsy shop to see how it goes.

Well, I had better get back to my drawing.

Why don't you pop on over to Julia's

Stamping Ground and see what 

everyone else has on their desk

for WOYWW.

Hope you all enjoy the Olympics,

I'll be watching.
