woodland fantasy gals ~

I'm still doodling ... with my magic marker~

I know you saw this one ~ my first attempt at drawing a human (my grandlove Bailey)...  and I had to cover most of her up with flowers and leaves to hide my mistakes.

Well... I had fun doodling those flowers and leaves ... and I figured if I want to learn how to draw people I need to practice ...  eyes, mouths, contours of the face, ahhh... so many features.  I've never taken an art class besides what I learned in grade school.  I'm sure there are easier ways to go about drawing these things; but I'm just learning as I doodle as to what seems to work and what doesn't.

So ~

here's the doodles from this last week ...  My Woodland Fantasy Gals :)

I tried doing more realistic ... but that's just not happening.  Eyes, noses, mouths ... how frustrating!!  Maybe if I tried drawing with a pencil so I can erase; but I'm going at it the hard way .. using ink or my new fave ... a Sharpie Magic Marker Pen.  Although, with a pencil I can see how it would be easier to draw because you could do shading.  How do you shade with a magic marker?  I haven't figured that one out ... yet. So the little bit of shading on the pics is from pencil.

Only one more ... "the bearded lady"

 Okay ... enough of my doodling around.  I have to clean house ~ I'm slipping on my duties as the Domestic Diva.  I took the tree down last week and I still see tinsel in the carpeting and I have a sink full of dishes from last night!  I hardly ever do that ... leave dishes sit over night; but we had a late supper and then the Packers played.  I have my priorities!

Until next time ...
So it goes in my neck of the woods.
