SpoonChallenge – 30 days of drawing, days 3 - 8

I’ve been keeping up with Spoonflower’s SpoonChallenge – 30 days of drawing and enjoying drawing something on a different theme everyday.  It’s been nice doing a little sketch each day just for fun and not thinking it has to be perfect, or finished for a product to sell.  Here are some pictures of my sketchbook for the last 6 days…

Week 1’s theme was Open Spaces; the prompt for day 3 was Tree and for day 4 it was Landscape…

Day 5’s prompt was River.  Day 6 had no prompt, but I kept to the open spaces theme and drew a desert with some cactuses (which was the prompt for day 1 which I missed)…

Day 7 also had no prompt so I decided to draw something in contrast with the desert and drew a woodland / forest scene…  Week 2’s theme is Text + Type and started with the prompt Lemon…

It’s still not too late to join in – you can sign up for the daily prompts from Spoonflower here.  You can also see what everyone else is drawing  by searching for #SpoonChallenge on social media.  I’ve never used hashtags before - as well as being an easy way of finding other people taking part in the challenge I have noticed it has brought new people to my facebook page.  So I have learnt something new too! :)

Spoonflower Tennis weekly contest and SpoonChallenge a month of drawing

I’ve had a couple of weeks off from entering contests on Spoonflower – my last entry to the rhinoceroses themed contest came 65th (with 102 votes) out of 251 entries.  Thank you to everyone who voted!

This week the contest has a Tennis theme so I created this design with tennis balls, rackets and strawberries, inspired by Wimbledon.  It was a fairly quick design to make as I used elements which I had already drawn to create a repeat pattern.  You can see all the other entries (and vote for your favourites!) here: http://www.spoonflower.com/contest_voters_temp/new?contest_id=260 

I’ve also just started Spoonflower’s SpoonChallenge: A Month of Drawing – each day has a different theme to inspire you to draw.  Today’s prompt was mountains and this is what I drew…
Even though my work involves a lot of drawing, some days I can be caught up in other things like sorting supplies, packing orders, paper work and keeping up with things online, so don’t always draw everyday.  Just doing a quick sketch shouldn’t be too hard though, so hopefully I’ll be able to keep up with the challenge for the month! :)  Are you taking part?  What have you drawn so far?
