CPP Response #146: Broke

I am really trying to get back on track with this project.I responded to the two most recent ones the other day while waiting at the doctor’s office for the Young Man. I could have put in more detail, but he came out and I decided that I wasn’t creating masterpieces. Done is better than perfect.

This was a nice exercise on trying to figure out how to make a window look broken. I am not sure I achieved it, but I think I made a good effort.

I am not sure that blue is truly indigo, but I only had a certain number of colors in my ‘to go’ kit, so I had to make due.I thought of coloring over the blue with purple. What do you think?

CPP Response #120: Willow

One of the struggles I have with these prompts is in what order to draw the lines. I want things that should be in the front not to have lines going through them for things that should be in the back. I often stop and try to figure out what I should draw first. In this case, I got so wrapped up in the zillions of willow leaves that I neglected the proper size of the trunk.

I may work on this one a bit more. It needs a bit of a bank around the pond and many, many more leaves on the tree.  Still, I am not unhappy with the drawing.

I am trying to catch up by responding to two prompts a week. It is hard, because I don’t really draw much at home and the Young Man has reduced his appointment schedule (read time for me to sit and read, write letters or draw – no cell phones allowed) to once every other week. I simply cannot do 4 drawings in an hour. I need more time than that. He is getting older and busier, so I can’t blame him for wanting to reduce the schedule, but I do blame him for taking my time away. 😉  I do keep reminding myself that if I had just drawn every week when I posted the prompts, I wouldn’t be in this pickle.

This is kind of a continuation of the dining room group and related to the Birthday prompt. There is something I like about doing similar scenes over and over.

I am trying to keep up, so I didn’t post the original prompt for this word that long ago. Go take a look and see what you can come up with. What do you think about?

I like to think that I am writing a story with my drawings and, as such, one drawing is sometimes not enough for a scene. This response is related to #131: Hills.

I used the Inktense pencils my mom gave me. I thought about add a bit of water to make the sunrise more watercolor-y, but didn’t want to chance it with the kind of paper in the drawing book.

Read the original prompt and see what comes to your mind.

More Zentangles

I tried really hard not to get caught up in the Zentangles movement. I can no longer avoid it. Some of the work being done is phenomenal and it makes me so appreciative of QuiltRat who regularly shares her doodles with us as part of the Creative Prompt Project. Go to the Zentangles blog to see more fabulous work, including Zentangles quilts.
