Drawing Finally



I'm finally working on something. I decided to go a different way with my Moley Project Book. The theme is "A Postcard". I was going to do pages of the fronts and backs of postcards. Make them look like they had just arrived in the mail. I did two pages of that. But tonight I had a different idea.

I will now do my pictures in graphite and they will be different situations with a postcard placed in each picture. Like a dog chewing one up. One laying on a table. One dropping thru a door mail slot. All different things. The postcards won't really be featured and they won't have a lot of detail. But there will be one in every picture.

I think this will be a better fit for me. I was having trouble getting motivated with the theme. Now I am looking forward to it. In fact I am working on one right now. A prairie dog holding one. This is not finished but just gives you a hint what I'm talking about. Reference photo by Just Chaos from Wetcanvas.

What a cute idea- I can see why once you hit upon it you got more excited. You are freer to "do your own thing". I find I have to do what I feel inspired by or my art just doesn't come up to "snuff"!
