This sketching of maneki-neko, a welcoming cat, a symbol of good luck should be a nice start for my first post this year.
A little late but …
Happy New Year!
May you have good health and a prosperous year !
I’m pretty slow in drawing journal. This is my first color drawing I did on November 29 and almost forgot to post it up! I did this drawing one night after finishing my usual work. We have had this lamp since we were just kids. The design is a bit traditional if compare to present lamps in the market. It’s well-designed though. I love the combination of light brown wood and dark chocolate metal work. It also says something of my childhood sitting under the lamp reading cartoons 
Last week I subscribed to a drawing group called everydaymatters.
It’s a group where people who have interest in art of drawing and journal sketching
get together and share their works. It’s quite big a group
with almost 4,000 members. Sounds intimidating but inspring at the same time when
I browse through their journals. It seems that drawing is their real job and I wish I could
have my own sketchbook full of drawings like theirs.
Not even sure if I could make it but I took the first step anyway.
After having doodled irregularly (not include sketches for my work),
I start to have a drawing journal today. A very simple subject I did in 5 minutes.
Usually, I sketch on white canson paper. This time I chose green read paper.
I had fun while drawing but a little bit disappointed with the scan. I guess I like
my drawing on white better.
However, I also like the soft touch of green read paper.
Or maybe I need to learn how to adjust color in Photoshop?
Anyway, here my first journal!
