Jump In (Creative Tuesdays)

This year, for me artistically, has been about trying a lot of new things. I'm hoping to join some art communities like Creative Tuesdays so I can experiment, learn from other artists and have time goals to get a sketch done.

This drawing really isn't something I'd normally think to draw. I took the theme "Jump In" and drew something quite literal. My scale is off and I'm not sure if you can tell that the girl has her knees bent when she is jumping but it was fun to try this and realize that if I did take the time and keep trying, this could turn into something more. I've been so focused on using colour lately because I'm desperately craving it with all the white we've been living in for months... it was almost weird just to use a graphite pencil on this.

My hubby and oldest son both like some of the new pics I've done but have asked me when I'm going to start drawing something in my 'real' style. Maybe that's a compliment on my portrait style but I'm having too much fun trying new stuff right now to focus on one type of art. This was a good theme for me because I feel like I am 'jump[ing] in' to all sorts of new and good things.

  3. good drawing. somehow when I see someone jumping, even in the shadow, it always makes me want to smile. there is just something about someone jumping that makes one happy, you know?

    have a great day.

  4. Kim, yes I think you've got the perfect mindset with this co-open which is to just jump in a be creative, using g the theme as a way to challenge you to do something you might not otherwise. The end result for.most of us rarely gets to exactly where we hoped it would be but we exercised our creative muscle nonetheless. Anyway, I totally got that the girl had her legs up as she takes her plunge with full gusto... much like you with this and perhaps other art co ops too as you mentioned. So glad you are joining in and I'm looking forward to watching your creative journey along the way. Thank you and well done! :)

  8. Visiting from CT - I saw straight away that your lady had her knees bent upwards. I think it's fabulous. Looking forward to seeing more from you through CT :o)
