Today I added more detail and added to my rock collection. I’m not too impressed and I think this is as far as I’m going. I was drawing this in a sketch pad and I think the paper is just too rough. I have tried with all my might to grow a love in sketch pads. But I just can’t get over the texture of the paper. It’s a shame too, because I have lots of them in all kinds of sizes. …what a waste! I think I may try to make my own sketch book with a smoother texture of paper…This is Art Every Day Month right? So anything is possible:)
Be Well and Happy!

Look great to me, those are some nice rocks.
That is a great skecth. I really struggle with rocks, you have managed to get fantastic texture and they all look interesting ~ impressive stuff!
Art every day huh….
Thank you Chrissy! It’s suppose to be fun and make you more creative..but I have to admit is stressing me out a little, but I am going to try a press on and see what I come up with:)
I bought myself a little watercolour book a while ago which are all 30 minute projects…..working on small projects might take the pressure off. I confess that I wouldn’t attempt it, I can just imagine fate would conspire and work, home and everything would kick off, LOL
Maybe you can try using the paper for charcoal or conte if you are not liking it for graphite. I am very particular about my paper as well.
