I’m really liking the the Big Draw challenge so far. I’d forgotten how wonderful it feels to just take a break from “stuff” to sit down and focus on something fun like drawing.
It took me far more time to find something to draw than it did to actually sit and draw it! I’m very drawn to charcoal because I find I draw so much better if I can shade, so I’m determined that I’ll use this challenge to work mostly using pen. I finally found a picture of a BlackBerry in one of my magazines, so sat down to draw that while Dylan worked on quite a few drawings.
As he puts it, “You can draw from a book, Mommy. I’m going to draw from my imagination.” Which he did. Today we had a choice of train tracks (x 2), an envelope and flowers. We decided on the flowers.

Tell Dylan please that his flowers are beautiful…they look like they want to be picked and put in a vase.
Your Blackberry came out well too Mom.

He’s five – he’s been drawing for a few years now. Really loves it – and I have to say, it makes parenting really easy!
I never would have thought of a BlackBerry either, but when I saw it in the magazine, I thought – hey! I can do that!

Dylan is a real sweetheart and what a great artist. I love the flowers and train above. And your blackberry looks good enough to eat.
