#dailycreating JULY 2020

 Well, already, it's time for another installment of #dailycreating. I am sharing with you some of the drawings that I did for this Facebook group hosted by Terry Runyan from the month of July. 

Apparently, looking through my sketchbook, July was not a great month for me to draw. The pickings were sort of slim when trying to decide which ones were actually good enough to show in public.

During July, I was still using a lot of Prismacolor Pencil in conjunction with my Copic Markers. I am not always pleased with the effect I get with this combination. It is often too grainy for my taste. I think part of the problem is that it is difficult to find paper that is good to use for both of these media. And I haven't yet hit upon the perfect combination paper. 

In the past few months, I have drifted away more and more from using Prismacolor Pencils in my work and use almost exclusively Copic Markers.

As in the past months of sharing with you my #dailycreating drawings, I will post the prompt, as well as any other pertinent information, above each of the drawings.

Sit back and bask in my slim pickings.

#this day in history 

I have to admit that the week that we had a different color for each day as a prompt was a real treat for me. It opened up so many options for subjects to draw. 

Sometimes I just have a difficult time relating to a particular prompt. As hostess of the group, Terry posts a list of prompts for the upcoming week on Sundays. Then we have the option to either follow the prompt or do anything else, whatever moves us at the particular moment. 

I almost always follow the prompts, but as I said a few sentences ago, some of the prompts just do not like me, nor I them. That is when I drift off on my own and usually do something animal related. 

Back in July, I was still following the prompts, but recently that has not always been the case. 

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my little lapse away from papercrafting. Well, not really, I DRAW on PAPER, right? Here, I should mention that a lot of the artists in this group have entered readily and happily into the 21st century and do mostly digital work, usually using a program on their iPad called Procreate. I don't think I could handle the learning curve of this digitizing. So I remain old school. 

Please remember that these pieces are my personal artwork and not to be reproduced or borrowed in any way without my express consent. I am always willing to have a high quality Giclee print made for you. Just let me know!
