Yay for art! So for my art swap challenge I had to make a Hedgie ATC. I decided to do it Sumi-e style. Don’t ask me why, because I don’t know. I think it came out alright.
I had to draw quite a few hedgies before I finally picked one.
I finally got around to drawing my desert woman. She’s been hiding in my bathroom. If you’ve ever seen my bathroom, that statement will make sense to you. We used sponges and a few different colors to decorate the bathroom walls – so there are lots of different shapes and colors for my imagination to work with when I brush my teeth or blow dry my hair. I have found eagles, dogs, dinosaurs, owls, people, and usually it always changes. For some reaons though I have always been able to find my desert woman, she never changes and I’ve been wanting to draw he for awhile. So I finally did.
I’m sure I’ll draw her again. It’s amazing where inspiration comes from isn’t it?

I’m going to have to pay more attention to walls, Littlelynx, if they give this kind of inspiration. The hedgies are priceless. I like the second one where they look like they are hiding in the grass. How’s the journal class coming?

Inspiration can come from anywhere, I am happy to say!
The journal class got put on hold while I was being picky about a journal, but I finally found one. It’s going to be my experimental journal where I can try all the different techniques and mixed media I’m learning about. I’m very excited to start it, I will definitely post!

You are my 100th comment!! Woot!!
I kind of giggled that you sent me an article on pet insurance, but what they’re saying is true.

Yay updates! Makes me want to draw again. Which really, I have no excuse not to. Kinda need a topic, though… give me an assignment? 🙂 I felt too blah to draw when sick, but I am feeling up to the challenge now. It:s time to practice and improve!
Your hedgehogs very cute, btw, but I dont like it being called a hedgie. Too hipster for me. :p Then again, I say ‘jelli’ instead of jealous a lot (mostly to soften it and make fun of it coz jealous is an ugly word…) .. so yeah. Lol.
Good luck with your journal! Give me art assignment and i will make it happen.

Your assignments (just in case you forget) are: 1.) A cute robot 2.) a dog shrine guardian 3.) a chibi dog shrine guardian
I want to see them when you are done!!!!
And I like the word hedgie. Its adorable and cute, like the hedgehog itself.
Thanks for saying good luck with my journal, I got distracted and started painting the drawers of the organizer on my desk. 😛
