Sketchbook Drawing

Hi there!  Yes, I have posted much later unfortunately.  Lots of excuses but that's boring stuff (including a bout of flu - yuck!).

Have been trying to keep warm in this frosty weather.  I am usually spending time walking down the beach this time of year but illness has prevented that.  Winter is the best time to be down there as there aren't as many people and I can drift off into my own little nature world while I'm walking.

As you can see I've been drawing in my sketchbook.  I drew this from a photograph of Lanie Lane on a magazine cover but she kind of morphed into a totally different girl.  This happens to me a lot when trying to draw people and faces.  It's like there are all these people inside of me, bursting to get onto the page.  In the photograph of Lanie, her eyes were more intense, but I feel this girls eyes are wistful, dreaming eyes.  

I don't usually show these types of drawings, I only do them to keep my mind sharp.  I'm working on an illustration at the moment which I had hoped would be finished and posted by now but isn't.  Hopefully soon.

Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my mum.  Our whole family are going out to lunch tomorrow and I hope mum has a fantastic day.  I am really looking forward to some yummy food and seeing my family!

Bye for now :)
