My sketch book has been gathering dust lately,
and I decided it was time to get back
to daily drawing by joining the April Doodlewash challenge
The prompt on April 6 was Latte
I found this photo of a steaming latte on Pixabay to use as my model
As I’ve mentioned before,
these monthly challenges are a great way to practice,
have fun, and see what you can create
Some days you have more time than others
so you can do what you can, when you can
A quick pencil sketch to begin,
then inked over
Originally I planned to color this with markers
After the first few strokes,
I quickly changed my mind and switched to watercolor,
adding shadows and blending in the bold marker stroke
Steam
Foreground shadows
A few details with ink…
“Latte Cup” 5″ x 5″ mixed media on mixed media paper
It’s a little wonky, but it was fun,
just a quick sketch,
and it did get me excited about getting back into a daily routine
Have fun and
Be Fearless!
