My Happiness

06-03-2012
Today's prompt was Happiness... I almost drew a warm gun for my husband the Beatles fan, but decided on something a little sweeter instead.

I messed up my darling girl's face, but that is less than surprising. Drawing her is far too hard, I'm almost never happy with the result (I actually am today, despite the flaws).

    Oh Pamela you are just way too clever - I struggle to take a photo a day - I can't even imagine the task of actually drawing a picture a day. Love the original photo too :)

      Some days it really is a struggle for me too. Helps having the prompts so far this month. I wrack my poor little brain sometimes to come up with something I want to draw, this is much easier!
      I loe the original photos too. Trish did a great job. :)

    Seems I have to be anonymous Goodytenshoes today...

    This is just. Beautiful. What a lovely photo this is, and now you have a lovely sketch as well. How wonderful it will be to have a year's worth of these gorgeous drawings when you have finished. I think you captured her face perfectly. Although I understand not being happy with your work, I always feel the same!

      It's hard to be pleased with your own work, and yet so easy to be pleased with the work of others... I think we're too hard on ourselves. lol :)

    The two previous comments have summed up my thoughts exactly! I am so impressed by your talents.

      Thank you Faith!
      I'm enjoying myself, and will have a fair few ready made Christmas presents I think... lol :)

      Thank you!
      I adore the photos. I'm very lucky our photographer got so many good shots before it started to rain... lol :)

    such a lovely sketch despite the apparent flaws (that only an artist will find in their won work). Where did you find the March challenge? I would like to try one next month, I haven't picked up a pencil in ages!

      I'm just doing one of the photography ones (with drawing instead).
      There are a few floating around, but so far I've stuck to doing this one:

      If I find myself really stuck on a day, I might cheat and use a different one for a day or so... lol :)
