I thought I’d remind y’all about Drawing Day. It’s coming up pretty quickly, so make sure you’re prepared with sharp pencils and fresh new felt tip pens. There is now a Drawing Day group on RedBubble where you can upload your drawings on June 7. Go check out the forums too. I want to feature some of the drawings I luuuurve on my blog. So when you’ve posted your drawing day works to the DD08 group, please submit your very very best and favourite drawing in this thread and I will select my top picks on definatalie.com. What do you get in return? Exposure baby! It’s not just for photographers! / I’ll furnish each drawing with the title, artist and a link back to the RedBubble page and artist. Are there any other bloggers who want to participate in this little round of community blogging? Let me know if you’re participating by posting your favourite drawings and I’ll add a list of other RB bloggers’ drawing day highlights to my DD08 blog post. Make sure you visit my Drawing Day forum thread here after you upload your drawings on June 7 and post your favourite piece for a chance to get some fame and glory!
For drawing day Medium: marker, pens, pencil crayons and chalk pastel. I was inspired by the Japanese artist Hiroshi Senju, who tends to limit his colors in his paintings. Sometimes he paints an image where the background is the complimentary colors of the subject. His style is simple but at the same time intense, where the foreground stands out from the complimentary background. This drawing however is different from his style; I have done another painting before which is closer to his style: As for the form of the tree, my inspiration came from this: More from Drawing Day: / This work has been featured in: / Color Me a Rainbow

Well, thanks to my Wacom tablet and my lousy drawing skills, here’s my contribution to Drawing Day 2008!! Now perhaps you can all work out while I’m a photographer!!

Bluurrgh! I drew this just then… it’s Drawing Day 2008, so that’s why I didn’t delete it.
Blurggh! I just realised that American ghosts are not made of jelly, they are in fact made of Jello (not the Biafra kind).
drawing day is fun! there’s a story behind this scratchy sketch – all will be revealed soon:)
Drawing day challenge to create a new avatar… here’s mine. My lack of sleep is quite apparent.
My third one for today after sleeping and going to the airport. Just got this done and got fed up with my scanner that I took a picture instead. Now I’m gonna have lunch ~ Medium: red lead on a piece of paper in my sketchbook. This has now been scanned and re-uploaded More from Drawing Day: /
