For me, making the first mark on a new sketchbook is always the hardest. My dear friend, Betty, gave me a beautiful handmade journal for Christmas. I've been afraid to mess it up - but finally decided now was the time to make my mark!
Inspired by the sound of a rooster crowing this morning, I started with a simple pencil sketches; added a little ink and and colored pencils.
Texture Tuesday challenge this week is a black and white photo and any of Kim's textures.

I know how that feels. I have several blank journals waiting to be used! Sigh.

Great roosters! And I really love the paper in your book. I am working in a book with crappy paper.. but I just have to fill it before I can start a new one..

Love the roosters. Fantastic blog.
Love the drawing of the rooster. Happy crafting

WoW Pat, I have to say that a crowing morning Rooster would not inspire me to drawing....!! lovely rendition of it, and a new word for me - mouseover...well I never!!
This is terrific! I know exactly what you mean about making that first mark in the journal, but when you have your talent, I wouldn't worry too much! Will be posting by this weekend the journal making art workshop I was in this past weekend. Now I'm really afraid to write in my new one!
Fab journal pages, know what you mean about 'marking' a new one. I feel like that too. Thanks for sharing this WOYWW, It's Thursday and I'm still snooping through the list! Take care Zo xx 22
Well, you have started now so the next page should be less difficult. Loving the rooster(s). Regards, Anne #66
Your rooster drawing is delightful--it inspires mixed feelings in me, actually, having had to kick away more than a few rooster attacks . . .
