I've gotten really far behind, so today I drew an image that covers four prompts. It's inspired by pulp sci-fi books my older brother NoHandle used to read, plus a nod to Darth Vader's helmet and armored gloves. Not the most sophisticated drawing, but it was fun!
I love the ocean and the dunes and dune grasses. You can just imagine the salty sea smell and the crash of the waves just downhill from those top grasses.
On white paper with mostly a gray wide marker and some added white gel pen and fine point black pen.
In my youth I was a fierce sled rider. We had a few places nearby to sled. One good sized hill down by the creek was my favorite...not as long a ride as I would like, but steep. Another, with a long path after the bottom, across a play yard, was at Thomas Jefferson school. A more dangerous, but fun place was at the top of the hill on Marshall St. above the creek...it was higher up the same hill but there was the occasional car that came by which you had to watch for. It was the best hill and the longest, steepest ride...but there were those cars. We used wood and metal Flyer sleds and tugged them up the hill with the rope which was used for steering on the way down. you could also steer with your feet as this little girl is doing. Today's prompt of 'Slippery" works well for the slippery slope of a snow covered hill.
Thought about the obvious for 'throw' like pitching a ball or frisbee, but hands are actually hard to draw (for me anyway), so I went with a decorator throw over a couch arm...something warm as ends of day in October tend to be cooler.
For Hope I thought about the kinds of things one hopes for and remembered that when I was little, we would put out homemade and decorated cookies for Santa, in the hope that he would bring us our heart's desire for that year.
