Illustration Friday - refresh

I'm on a roll here with my sketchbook, lead pencil and eraser. After getting up early this morning and taking a shower, I let the morning sun refresh me while drinking a cup of coffee. I took a photo of this. Then I sat down to draw this moment for Illustration Friday's topic 'refresh'. Nice.

Speaking of drawing and sketching: The 36th World Wide Sketchcrawl is coming up on July 14th! Together with Yvonne, I'm organizing a Sketchcrawl in Amsterdam. You can read about it here or find a Sketchcrawl near you and even organize one yourself here! If you'd like to join me in Amsterdam you can RSVP here on my FB page.

I hope to see you then!

  3. Thanks! I like it too, although now it bothers me that I didn't draw any detailed hair, so now it looks kind of balding.

  4. Lovely, peaceful expression. Also looks like she might be thinking of something secret and wonderful. You could still do a bit with the hair, if you wanted?

  5. No you don't look like you're balding!! Come on with the self-critque! ;) You look like your hair is wet from the shower - that's what I thought when I saw it, and when I read you just did indeed take a shower, it all made sense :D

    Thanks for the mention, friend - my blog is an oasis of peace at the moment (hah!) but I will write a post as soon as... I have told all my friends in NL who I think might join (they're all maybes...), but who knows, maybe someone reads my blog quietly? I didn't mean it like that in my email, you know? :) But thank you :)

  6. I like it...it's a great sketch and looks just like you...I didn't think of balding when I saw it...a veil maybe...but it gives an interesting appeal.
