Drawing Day: Mom’s Garden
June 7, 2008 watercolor, world events
It’s drawing day and in conjunction of this special day, I’ve challenged myself with a project: writing and illustrating my own picture book! I’ve rewrote the story many times over but I think I still need an editor! Marzie, come to my rescue dear!
Boy! This was hard! I’ve been drawing from yesterday morning around 12.00 midnight. Fell asleep at 4am and woke up around 8am. Managed to draw all 11 drawings (plus the cover) in between chores. Finished around 9.30pm. I’m glad I managed to accomplished this one! Anyway, I’ve uploaded 6 drawings (earlier version) to Drawing Day Flickr Group. Hope it’ll add to the statistic.
