A sketchbook page..


Not something I usually share as i know things aren't perfect and how i want them to be, I have never been good at keeping a sketchbook as everything has to be perfect, if not, it gets torn out, but i'm learning. So here is a page of bears.

Aw sweet! I just found you via debbie's (ladysnail) blog. I like the roughness of the drawings, it shows how you progress :)

Hello Kayleigh, I have to congratulate you. I've been a university lecturer in art and design for more years than I care to remember, and I have to say that your output (from what I've seen so far at least) shows a lot of promise. The products you're selling on Folksy are indeed very charming but I'd encourage you to also keep up the sketches and prints. As I skimmed your blog just now, it is this page of bear sketches that really grabbed me. You clearly have a gift for freehand drawing, and there's a wonderful variety in your shapes that makes each drawing unique. It may be little more than a throwaway page of work in progress but to an old softie like me it's truly adorable - and I'd urge you to keep sketching, maybe try some freehand printing. Your digital work is just lovely but your rough drawings are some of the best such work I've seen. Keep it up

P.s. I tell all my students to never tear pages out of a sketch book. By all means, scribble, draw/paint over, work around it, adapt, whatever! But cherish every drawing and embrace the odd mistake!

I'm glad you agree, please do keep sketching. We all need a little encouragement sometimes :-)
