Today, I decided to take this month’s theme of Jump into a different direction. I’m choosing to interpret it as doing things outside of my comfort zone, so today I’m going to say for the first time here, that I love to draw. I constantly doubt my skills, but I want to grow them till I stop doubting so much.
I would love to find a way to merge photography and drawing, so far I have done so somewhat in my website, every element of which I entirely hand drew, but I’m constantly looking for new ideas.
For now I just carry a private little sketchbook and try to draw any little things around me that catch my eye.
(Information found on Wikipedia at 5 am after a sleepless night… not guaranteed to be accurate!)
These are a couple pages from lunch breaks, first thing in the morning, and a combination thereof.
So now you know, my little secret is out.
Phew!
Aaah, they’re exquisite, I would like a book of them to look at all the time please! xxx
Hehe, thank you! Maybe some day! xx
Wow! That is a great secret and talent to have! I stamp as I can’t draw. Your drawings are fabulous. I am thinking you could turn them into cards for people or copy a print and make notecards.. Susan Branch the artist does drawings and writings together in book form…She is one of my favorites.
Thank you so much!
I just looked up Susan Branch, her drawings are wonderful! I can’t tell you how much I’d like to make notecards, I’ve wanted to do this with my photos for a while, I never thought of using my drawings that way though… cogs are whirring… yay! Also, I looked at your stamp-work, it’s absolutely gorgeous! I’d buy any of those cards in a second.
Beautiful – I’m glad you let this secret out, Vrinda.
Thank you!
I love what you’ve posted here. They remind me of the books I have read from childhood — all those images that seem to echo with loveliness and brightness. Looking at your art suddenly reminds me of the good old days. Thank you
Ahh, such a lovely thing to say! Lately I’ve been re-reading my old favourites from when I was younger and looking carefully at all the pictures I remember so clearly, they warm my heart as much as when I first read them. So this is a lovely comparison to hear, thank you
