Week three already! Here’s the round up of the past week’s drawings. As always, some that were fun, some that did not work out as hoped. It’s interesting to observe the ebb and flow of my enthusiasm. It doesn’t seem to be as related to the prompts as one might assume. With a bit of percolating I can usually come up with an interesting angle, even if it doesn’t always translate to the page as I’d hoped.
