Sketch # 001

And here begins my journey to post a Sketch every single day. As Ive said in my introduction post, since Ive begun this blog just today I will post all 3 of my sketches, for the 1st, 2nd & 3rd April, today.

All my works thus far have not been my own. Being an amateur artist, I learn from others. Every artist, barring a few, use references to draw inspiration. There are few who are so talented that they dont require a reference. Unfortunately I dont fall under that category.

The first sketch was one i saw on the internet here. Now I know it looks NOTHING like the original but as I said these are all my practice pieces. Hopefully someday I will re-visit these pages and redo them all .... :)

Introduction

Hello All ... :)

For those of you who know me would know that Im an amateur artist. I also have another blog where I post all my art work - My Murals, Acrylics, Charcoals, Tangles, etc...... You can see it here

My Art Blog

So then you would ask - Why Another Blog??? 

This blog I dedicate to just my sketches. We all know that practice makes perfect and this is something my art teacher Patric Rozario has drilled into me. And trust me - It Works!

But however much we may try, sometimes we just let things slide and then there goes our 'practice'. Therefore this blog - a sort of accountability.

I will be forced to post here everyday and that will MAKE me draw every day. So here we have it folks - My Sketch A Day Blog......

I resolved to do this from the 1st of April. Yup! Fools Day....:) But I got around to creating this blog just today. I have a FULL Diary and wish the day had more than just 24hrs in it...:(( But my resolve is firm.

Today I will post both those sketches that I did on the 1st and on the 2nd as well as the one I did today. And from tomorrow it will be a regular feature. On weekends, I take a break from the computer so you will have me posting Fridays & Saturdays Sketches on Sunday. 

Yes, I live in the Middle East where weekends are FRIDAY & SATURDAY...:P

I want to thank ALL of you who have been there for me and who have in their own way inspired me, supported me and encouraged me to get better and better everyday....:)

Cheers....

Tinks....
