Over a year ago when we were confined to avoid spreading a potentially deadly virus, I knew much of my photographic adventures would need to be curtailed. In similar time, something by Stephan Marjoram inspired me to fill a bit of time doing something creative. So I took up ink drawing. Just to see what I could do. And with zero photography projects in the queue, I wanted to fill this space with something. So here goes. I start out by aping M.Marjoram and, as you will later see, I take inspiration from many other sources.

Inspiration: 16 days to go

Result: Briar Rose

Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Sakura Micron 005 in a Stillman & Birn Epsilon series sketchbook

Location: home

Note: ...in case you were wondering, 16 years of age is when the princess would prick her finger on a spindle.

....and a perfect example of why I am looking forward to this one year daily drawing project being completed. This is not a small doodle.I look at it and twitch... better for me to considered a preliminary working sketch because it's too big and too involved to be completed in a single sitting. I had things to do and places to be and was penned into a corner with my choice to draw this....

Ink drawing, 5" x 4", comes framed, available.

Location: Home

Note: Had a great time with friends & family last night. Slept in. Danced just outside the reach of a whiskey soaked hangover and rewarded myself by struggling mightily with technology to set up the new wifi and husbands iPad,...and won. I also did my domestic diva thing around the house as I talked to my parents for a few hours on the phone before I finally sat down to do my drawing and really...just didn't have it in me to draw 8 hares. So there.
