More Big Draw: Train tracks, faces

I’ve missed a post this October (messed up my Blogtoberfest as well as the Big Draw …). We had my brother-in-law and his wife over for dinner yesterday, so much of the day was spent cleaning up – having people over is always so nice the day after, because the house is usually still clean! We had a great dinner, and the evening ended late – no time for a blog post.

Here are our contributions for the Big Draw today:

Dylan’s Big Draw Drawing

Dylan loves trains, and he likes the tracks almost as much as the trains themselves. This drawing is of a switching track (I think that’s what they’re called).

Belle’s Big Draw Drawing

I’m still working on faces using pen. I’ve been drawing from a book I have that show women from the 20s. Lovely fashion drawings. It would be nice to be adept at drawing the clothes, too! Today’s faces look nothing like the models I was drawing but they certainly have character, don’t they? :)

    Your women drawings are charming. I love the hats. Dylan’s is great too. He must love trains..?
    Sometimes we just have to go with the flow of life around us. Which may mean not drawing or blogging something if we are enjoying company. :)
    You were creating a wonderful dinner.

    Thanks everyone! Cris, you are so right – enjoying the flow of life is such a good thing. When I get busy, I tend to forget to enjoy it even through the busy-ness!

    Dylan continues to astound both me and my husband every day with the things he draws.

    And Lynn, I will definitely give him that extra hug from you! He is a very huggable child. :)
