#dailycreating OCTOBER 2020

 A week late, here is the October 2020 installment of my #dailycreating journey. 

Visual Artist and Creative Encourager Terry Runyan started a Facebook Group several years ago. As members of this group, we are encouraged to create something every day. Every Sunday afternoon Terry provides a list of suggested prompts for the coming week. The prompts are considered optional. However, most of the time I follow the prompts, just as a starting point for something to draw each day. At times, I am quite the rogue and go off prompt, doing whatever moves me on a particular day.

In going through my pieces I'd drawn during October, it became very apparent that this was not a wonderful month for my personal work. I was happy, however, to discover two of my all time favorites among this month's pickings. I won't tell you which two they are.

I only came up with nine drawings that I was somewhat inclined to share with you all. As always, above each drawing, I will include the prompt. If it was a day I didn't follow the prompt, I will simply add "off prompt". I will also include any additional information I may have about any of the characters in my drawings.

blue footed boobies

Huh. Now that was interesting. I guess I was a very good girl, and followed the prompts during October, at least, with the nine drawings I've chosen.

Pretty pathetic. Only nine out of a month of 31 days?!?

These are my personal drawings. They are not to be reproduced in any way, other than with my specific approval. If you'd like a copy of anything, please let me know, and I will have a high quality Giclee print made for you. Thank you for your respect.
