Designing Doodles: January 2011

New Year's Mermaid Moon

Happy New Year! I hope 2011 will be a great year for everyone!

I was going to draw a little new year baby sleeping on a crescent moon, but my lack of drawing ability got in the way. I couldn't draw a baby that looked even slightly baby-like. So instead, I drew a mermaid on the moon, and here she is, complete with eraser marks.

Designing Doodles is a place for me to post my doodles and my attempts at drawing. I am not a person with a natural talent for drawing, but that has not stopped me from wishing I could draw well. I write children's stories and would love to be able to illustrate my own stories. In order to do so, I have to learn to draw, and, with no natural talent, I have to start from the beginning. My hope is that, as I continue to post my doodles and attempts at drawing, you will eventually begin to see an improvement in the drawings that I share here.
