I was itching to do some sketching before I went to sleep tonight and all I had on my nightstand was this index card notebook and a ball point pen. I used to never draw with a pen, but I'm now seeing that it's forcing me to loosen up and commit to my marks...and build on them rather than trying to make them perfect the first time. Give it a try...you might surprise yourself the way I did. :)
Lovely Sketch Paulette! I get those urges all the time!!!! To the point where I have been known to wake up in the middle of the night just to frantically sketch/draw/write...I make a point to keep notebooks by my bedside, in every purse I own and scattered here and there so I am never without paper/pen when inspiration strikes.

I LOVE this!
Thanks for reminding us that we should always keep a sketchpad/notebook within each reach for whenever inspiration strikes, whether in the car, in our backpack or back pocket -- I'm always looking for a scrap of paper at the wierdest moments.
I can't wait to see her in her full painted form, tho' I kind of like her as a pen & ink drawing, too!
