Friday afternoon I got a quick chance to sketch a sleeping son (and his greatest treasure to date, his blankie. :-)I did this with colored pencil in a new Canson sketchbook. I grabbed the colored pencil because my pens were all malfunctioning (note to self: find a pen sale.) I realized that I ought to be using colored pencil to sketch more and not just attempting more polished works with it. I think using them to sketch with would help train me! :-)
Off to a busy day...

Beautiful sketches Rose! I should sketch my kiddos when they're asleep. Great idea. I've tried when they were awake and it was just too hard. They only hold still for about 2 seconds, lol.

Kasie, thanks, but it was more happenstance than idea...I was trying to finish a copy of a Monet work, but I was being constantly interrupted - argh. This one finally fell asleep on my bed. Then the Monet was going all wrong (I ripped it actually :-(...so I looked over, saw that sweet face and thought that's the sort of mood I need to get into. So, I sketched him. :-)
The only other sketching of them I can manage is when they're watching a video. But, surprisingly, they don't even stay still for that long when they're watching. :-)
These are so precious! Lovely sketches. Last time I tried drawing kiddo she was a baby! Asleep, of course :)
