Self portrait in graphite pencil.
I am linking to Sunday Sketches and Art Everyday Month today.
I have always wanted to do Art EveryDay Month but since I am already writing a book it always seemed insane. I can't go a month without doing art though so I decided I would join in this year. I am not going to stress if I don't get art done every day. I am going to use it as a way to warm up my creative muscles and then I'll get to the writing,
Love your self portrait..brilliant job. I'm art junky, I have to draw everyday even if it's for 5 minutes...I usually manage at least an hour... :) AEDM is brilliant for getting creative.. :)
ReplyDeletevery effective in graphite pencil!
ReplyDeleteI love how you combined the words and the self portrait sketch. I also wanted to say - hey, don't freak. Just write and mix art in, as you suggested here. Don't be hard on yourself. You are doing remarkably well.
ReplyDeleteFantastic job on the self portrait ! I've joined to help keep my creative energy alive.... if I don't get something done every day it will at least have me thinking about art every day. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good idea, Kate! Nice self portrait! Interesting shirt. The beginning of the book perhaps?
ReplyDeleteWonderful self portrait! So glad to meet you and visit your lovely blog. Visiting from Sunday Sketches today but it looks like I'll be seeing you on AEDM as well! Yippee! xo, janice
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Kate! You've been missed. :) I love your word portraits and this one is especially lovely! Thank you for sharing about your friend Jeff, too. Gosh, I haven't talked/heard about Norse since my mythology class a year ago! :) Hugs
