Tessa, that is dedication, drawing through your lunch break!  Beautifully done - I like it a lot. Running a bit late, and looked through my recent photos (still on laptop) from RSPB Mersehead to see if there were any more I could have a go at.  There were 6 roe deer that day, so here is a quick sketch of one of them.  Caran D'Ache Museum Aquarelle pencils and LAMY fountain pen.

Christopher great anime/manga sketch, beautiful shadows. Dixie sad that landscape is not there, which makes your wonderful painting all the more precious. Thank you for your lovely comments on my milkshake/smoothie glasses, Margaret I used a Derwent Graphik line maker which aren’t completely waterproof, you can apply a wash to a little extent. Ha ha Alan of course, should do a painted version, one of those milkshakes was fluorescent blue! Love your quaint sweet shop scene. Tessa what an interesting viewpoint and a terrific loose sketch too. Fabulous portraits Marjorie and Linda you are inspiring me although I am really rubbish at drawing faces. Amazing roe deer Margaret, your enjoyment of wildlife comes through. I have had a go at finishing the painting of my local nature reserve that I started a little while ago, not sure if it's finished, but stopping here for now.

So far the work on here is getting better and better, I think we are gaining so much more confidence, I love how you have painted your local nature reserve Anjana ( found you on Instagram,) Margaret your Roe Deer is spot on, Christopher, you have managed to get that awareness in the fox, Sorry if I've missed anyone out but if I go back a page I will lose this thread!!!

I have to agree with Linda, everyone is getting better and the choice of subjects is vast. I keep trying to do something different to my normal work, but have noticed that I paint or draw most subjects as the mood or whim takes  me. The only thing I’m very uncomfortable with is portraits, so maybe that’s my challenge before end of the month. Today’s is a reminder of things to come, a watercolour study of sloes.

That's good Paul, like your use of colour. As for portraits, have a go, I joined Pinterest last year and the tutorials and tips you get are great, advice on drawing eyes, nose, mouths, shading, it will really help you.

Some great work here.  I am lagging behind a bit, but I still try to keep up.  I may even manage to post something.  Don't stop!

Really enjoyed doing this one, there's a small amount of gold glitter gel pen on the eyelids and some on the hair baubles. Its on heavy weight smooth Daler Rowney sketching paper.
