6th Character Sketch - Remember When Saturday

OOOOOh ok so,
I ♥ Saturday's!
hahah How's your day going?
Been having a relaxing day with my family.
I had an idea today for a posting series I'm going to start...
Since i've only been able to draw for about 3-4 years,
I thought i would start a weekly post called "Remember When".
It's going to consist of drawings that i did back when i was starting to learn how to draw.
Thought it could be a cool/fun way to encourage you all that if you like something and want to learn something,
With some hard work, you can do anything. :)

The drawing today was my 6th drawing ever of Gemma Ward that i did 4 years ago.
It's from Volume 1 of my Character Sketchbook.
If you don't know about my Character Sketchbook i have some info on it here. ;)
I hope you like it.
Hope you're having a wonderful Saturday!

Fergie- Bike in Closet

(celebritystyle&homes)

Where would you keep your bicycle?
Not to detract from the lovely photo of Fergie--I marked up the photo to make sure the reason for this post was not lost on anyone. (Fergie's bike reminds me a little of a combination of these styles --here, here, here, and here). Amazing blinged out bike.... and where else to keep it stored other than your closet!

SIGNS OF HOPE...SPRING IS IN THE AIR

Today is the FIRST day of SPRING!!!!
YAY!!!
I hope we are finished with the snow,
it was a rough winter
This sweet little crocus plant emerging from the snow is a sure sign
of hope that warm Spring days are upon us

Time to start planting your bulbs

Forsythia, one of the first Spring plants to paint the landscape...

YELLOW... just like the daffodils

Grape Hyacinthsclustered

in pretty containers

inside your home early in the season

and outside as soon as the first warms days come

Hyacinths with their soft and sweet fragrance

evoking the feeling of springtime and Easter

Delicate, tiny violets

carpeting the landscape

along with their larger counterpart... the Pansy

The delicate bell-like Lilly of Valley

with it's fresh, crisp, white color and clean aroma

Are you getting excited for those warm Spring days with
gentle breezes, sunshine and all of
those fragrant blossoms
waiting to emerge in the next days and weeks to come?
I'm off to grab my sunglasses now!

wishing you a happy first day of spring!
