January Sketchbook Pages

The theme for the sketchbook challenge for this month is "highly prized." I have been doing a lot of sketching compared to what I am accustomed to doing. In reality it has been once, maybe twice, a week for at least 30 minutes a session. These are the sketches I posted on the Flickr group.




I chose these images to post for "highly prized" not because they are images of things I highly prize, although I do like trees and birds, but for what they represent to me. That is, spending time learning something new and realizing that I can draw something I like. Just taking the time to experiment with drawing and allowing myself to redraw the same thing, tweeking parts of the image and/or changing it to try something new, just to see what the change looks like.

Great job. I wish I could say I've spent that much time with the sketchbook. It's been A LOT MORE than usual (which was NONE), but it should be even more! Love what you're coming up with!
