Cherie Smith, Donut Drawings

I really enjoyed several of the drawing exercises I took part in this week. Picking a favorite was difficult...however...the 1 minute or "donut drawings" are the sketches that I decided to select. I like the ease of obtaining the supplies, the engaging visual cue and the time constraints that forced my eye to start choosing relevant lines to draw. Yes, I did complain (ok, whine) while I was in the middle of drawing. but I will be using this exercise in the future...primarily for myself.

Cherie Smith, Color Associations

This project was an interesting stretch for me. I have a tendency to want all my drawings to be "perfect" when I only had approx. one minute to think of something the color on the card reminded me about and then sketch it...perfect and slow was not an option.
