EDM #150 - Draw a candle.

This is drawn with black biro and I used colour pencil for the colour (and to cover the stuff up on the right!)
This little candle was given to me by my little niece.
She bought it herself and because she knows I love frogs, she bought me a frog.
I think its cute!

EDM Challenge #154 - Draw a lemon.

My drawing for this challenge is another black pen and colour pencil drawing.
I like the challenge of drawing with pen, once the line is committed to the page, thats it!
Also, still learning to cross hatch!
Everyday variety of lemons, a cut one to make doing the drawing a little more interesting.

EDM Challenge #151 - Free Choice.

For this Challenge I drew this picture of a soft toy.
It resides in my spare room with the many others I have collected over the years. All Frogs!
Black pen and coloured pencil.

Holiday Sketches.

Here are some sketches I did while in Noosa last week.
Lovely place to visit!
Drawn with a black pen and coloured with watercolour paints.
The sketchbook doesn't accept water very well at all and is only a 6 x 4 sketchbook so is difficult to hold. Never mind, I enjoyed the sketching anyway!
1: The quick snack ordered on the Virgin Blue flight to Maroochydore. Diet coke, crackers and cheese and some pringles! Just enuogh to get me there!
2: First morning on a walk to the beach, I came across this bush turkey.
Soon learned that they are the locals.3: This is the view of Coolum beach from the walk at Coolum.
4: I bought a postcard from Noosa with a frog photo on it and here is the drawing of the frog!
5: This is the lamp in the living area of the appartment we stayed in.
Great place to stay, the Sebel in Noosa, Right on Hastings street, a very short walk to the main beach in Noosa!
6: I needed some flip flops to wear on my morning beach walks so I could whip them off and carry them while I walked barefoot along the beach!
The walks were lovely and I was surprised by the amount of people already at the beach at 7 am!
I bought these thongs in Hastings street, Noosa!7: I had a surfing lesson while I was in Noosa, something I WILL be doing again! Loved it!
This is me catching a wave, drawn from a photo.9: The LifeSavers Lookout at one end of the beach.
Drawn from a photo taken on my morning walk when no one was around!
10: We went on an Everzglade river cruise.
This is an Egret seen that day. Drawn from a photo.
11: A fisherman seen on the Everglades cruise. Also drawn from photo.
12: Unidentified plant life drawn from a photo taken on the river cruise.
13: Lace Monitor drawn from photo, joined us for lunch at "Harrys Hut" on the Everglades day out.
14: This magpie joined us for lunch. We were at a little town called Montville.
Heaps of touristy shops and eateries!
Great place to visit and shop for souvineers.
I wanted to go there to see the candy being made at the "Candy Shop" and of course sample the ware!
15: The lamposts in Montville are very ornate and this s a drawing of one.
16: Being a fair skinned gal, I need plenty of this stuff!

DD Prompt - Draw something with a deep sea theme.

This is my effort for the "deep sea" theme.
I did a quick sketch from a photo from online and then painted it using ArtRage.
I put a layer over the top in dark blue and changed the opacity to try and emulate the water but I think it just made it cloudy!
Never mind, a good time was had by all!!
