Something I’ve always wanted to be able to do is draw.
Ever since my semester of Drawing for Illustration ended in early May, I have been practicing. Artists always say, practice practice practice!
I actually started this idea while we were on vacation in Vegas.
I was inspired by the cool bench and chair in our hotel room.
I’ve just been going back to the basics – pencil drawing everyday objects, trying to capture the shapes, and get the lighting and shading just right.
I had fun illustrating another favorite quote, which I framed with a gothic looking mirror.
I’ve been slowly working on a page full of thumbnails of flowers from our garden that I’m calling a Flower A Day. This one is a work in progress, so you can see I have faint outlines of the next three flowers to work on, and the rest of the page planned.
I would love to make time to do one sketch every day. It’s a very rewarding, gratifying skill to learn!

Fabulous work! Practice definitely helps you to know your own skills better…keep going!
yeah! good for you! it’s great to learn new things, especially when they are fun to do. a fabric line isn’t too far off, i’d say! 🙂
I’m blown away by your pencil drawings – they are wonderful. Good for you making the time to practice – you’ve certainly inspired me to make a habit of sketching on a regular basis.
your drawing is improving by the day. it’s looking great! keep practicing!
Great job on the pencil drawings, Terri! I like your flower-a-day project… way to keep things moving, creatively! I’m taking my journal with me to Cancun, and a bunch of supplies, of course!
They look great! I’d love to be able to do that:)
Wow Terri, I can tell that your talent is developing:o) I’m happy for you! I would think that it could be satisfying and addictive all at the same time lol Sarah
Dearest sweet terri, i love these peek into your drawings! They do look beautiful! Have a lovely merry happy friday and a wonderful weekend! Love to you!
Oh! That looks like so much fun.
I DO love that quote from Kat Von D!
