Sketchbook Challenge

The Sketchbook Challenge is from a great blog I found.  I loved the idea just from reading the title.  To encourage creativity every day through sketching is a great idea because with sketching, you're not worried about perfect and "styles," you're just worried about getting the concept of what you're sketching down on your paper.  You can come back to it later and finish it, if it really caught your fancy.

Even if you think you "can't draw," it gives you the freedom, like the image to the left, to just quickly do an outline of the important bits and then move along.  There's no wrong - just right!  :)  What a great way to remember how to play like you did when you were a LITTLE kid.  I remember making mud pies with grasses in them for my brothers.  The were NOT something to eat, but they certainly were in my imagination!  Our little twigs were the silverware of Royalty and our mud pies were served on only the finest leaves in all the land.  lol.

Even if it was only in our imagination, it was so much fun - until we stepped in the bee's nest and got stung all over. Then we looked like aliens because our Mom put dots of Mrs. Stewart's Bluing on every single sting.  We were *early early* versions of the Blue Man Group!  But it was pure play.  That's what sketching should be, too.
