on Tuesday evening I felt the need to pick up my pencil and sketch out another idea for a drawing. This time the thing that inspired me was our weekend walk in the forest and this tree in particular.........
I thought it made a great subject for a drawing. It's so old these props help hold up it's branches......
I also quickly decided to draw a simplified version of this lovely tree and to incorporate other details for added interest. This is my initial quick sketch.........
As usual I then did a neater drawing in my big sketch book and then went over most of the lines in fine pen..........
As you can see I decided to use Autumn colours for my picture....as I'm really loving all the glorious shades of gold, orange, red and brown that are beginning to appear here at the moment.
All the glorious seasonal creativity I see in blogland at the moment has been so inspiring too. THIS post and THIS one spring to mind.
So I added some cute woodland creatures...........
both in the tree and on the woodland floor.........
I couldn't forget the Fungi either.
And here is my finished coloured pencil drawing..........
This was a much quicker picture to do than my Yarndale drawing. It's got less detail and I didn't spend as long pondering over every little thing . I finished it on Wednesday morning and it satisfied my urge to create somthing seasonal. Now I better get back to my blanket making :0)

ReplyDeleteThat is just lovely. You are a very talented young girl.
ReplyDeleteI like your drawings and the little things you put on it: flowers, tables,mushroom...
ReplyDeleteamazing - even only using a few different colours your drawing is amazingly bright and colourful. You chose them perfectly. I like all your work but I think this is my very favorite. Do you sell any of your drawings?
ReplyDeleteI love your drawings! Thank you for sharing them with us, they always make me smile!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures always remind me of magical lands that I would imagine as a child. Thanks for bringing back such lovely memories.
ReplyDeletebeautiful drawing...like seeing your little sketches....
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful picture Jacquie. I do love these, and I especially like all the little details you put in, like the birds and animals and mushrooms in this one!
ReplyDeleteAdorable!
ReplyDeleteIt's very pretty, Jacquie. I especially love the details of the little animals and the acorns.
ReplyDeleteLove those shiney acorns. Jo x
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely drawing again. The details are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteMy maternal grandmother taught me to crochet when I was a child. I recently gave up smoking and needed to occupy my hands...so after a 40 year break...(I'm only 50, not at all near death)...one Saturday, having been to a crafty-type shop, I sat on the couch with a hook and some yarn and VOILA! It only took me about an hour or so to get back into it. Amazingly, I remembered all the basics! It's official.... I'm OBSESSED! I'm on my 2nd doggie rug and about to undertake some mini projects - wash cloths, a bag or two, toys for my besties granddaughter. AND I;'m going to give a crack at some divine baby Mary Janes.... I have found some amazing artistes like yourself out there on the interwebs! Just Stitches, Dammit Janet Let's Crochet to name just a few. Interweave, Red heart, Lion Brand.... Just wish Perth had the range of the gorgeous stocks I've seen OS.... Anyhoo! Upward and onward.... I'm off to buy some yarn for owls and birds!
ReplyDeleteLove your pic, Jacquie, you've definitely captured the Autumn feeling.
ReplyDeleteParticularly love the caps on the acorns......gorgeous.
