I did it, I made that first drawing! I drew my camera, because it was there. And it seemed patient.

Unlike my dog who tried to get in between my pen and my book...

I lost my drawing habit. I haven't done any drawing or doodling in ages. I miss it, and yet I spend more time cleaning up than drawing...

This morning in bed I thought how it takes a month to create a habit, so I figured I'd start drawing one drawing a day in april.

After I got up I thought 'screw April, start today!'.

So, as of today, for at least a month, I will make at least one drawing (no matter what) to kickstart my habit. I'll call it my '30-day drawing challenge'.

I'll keep you posted...

As long as I've had a computer I wanted to turn my handwriting into a font. I made some attempts to do so, but they failed due to lack of proper programs. Today I stumbled upon yourfonts.com ( through Drawn! ) and they offer just that.

Print out the form, fill it it, scan, upload and downnload your font. It took about 15 minutes in total. And it looks so cool :D

[gallery link="file"]Some drawings from my drawingjournal. I have more that I need to colour still. Sometimes I like to keep them black and white, but usually I like colour :)

So I finished super mini-Cthulhu, that will hang an on a keychain. He will enjoy that! I made him about half-size compared to his big brother, who will work perfectly as a bag-hanging toy.

I had this crochet-itch yesterday, wanted to crochet something small. I can't crochet much thanks to RA but my hands felt good so I looked for my hooks and some yarn and decided to try my hands on a ninja. After some work, this fellow turned out a bit bulky, but not too bad.

After I finished I went looking on the internet and found a whole new world of "amigurumi's" with patterns and photos. My heart now overflows with belated acknowledgment for the hours I slaved and slaved as a child to crochet cute little creatures. Finally, people get it! Perhaps I can still find them somewhere and make photos...

In just about 15 minutes, the 21st SketchCrawl will start. I decided today to participate, although I won't go out and meet people and draw with them. Too ill still, so my participating will consist mostly of couch-drawing. Still, I want to try it, spend the entire day (or at least most of it) drawing and sketching. As a warm-up, I've drawn my waterbottle.

Spend most of the day cleaning up to prepare. So I better draw ;)

Let's all keep our organs intact this year, mmkay?

And yes, that means you can't play with my organ-jar!

(I don't draw stomachs very well)
