Drawing

Yes, I know this is a sewing blog, but drawing is something else that I love doing.  I don't have any kind of training and I don't draw very often but when I do find the time and mental readiness to draw I get a tremendous amount of satisfaction from the act. 

I want to get better at drawing, and I want to discover other fans of drawing... do you draw?

Some quick drawings I made this year using the book Draw with... Pablo Picasso by Ana Salvador as a teacher - it's a kids book but fun for grown ups too. I used crayons to try to make myself draw in a "freer" manner than usual.
