Stuff-ness

Wow, it's been a while since I posted about my Wreck This Journal journal. But I have been working on it, though not as diligently. But I thought I'd share some pics of how it is evolving.

Write or Draw With Your Left Hand

Hmm, not so hard if you are a lefty. Anyway, it was easier than I thought (and turned out more legible than I thought) but it still made me think way too hard about how to make my hand work to write the letters properly. Or properly-ish.

Doodle Over Top This Page

I doodled! But it is a little hard to see because I colored the other side of the page in with a thick permanent marker - which was lots of fun and makes me enjoy this page greatly because I hate bleed through so this page seems rebellious to me. Get back.

Tear Strips Rip It Up!

Not all that visually appealing (hey, not all of them can be!) but it sure was fun to do! I didn't even follow the lines!

I've also branched out into journaling without direction. Go me! Most of that I won't share because it's mostly me writing - about my dreams (which have been really weird lately), venting, and sometimes just babbling. But honestly, pictures wouldn't be all that thrilling - besides, you pretty much get that reading this blog.

One thing I have been attempting to do (and will share) is learn to draw. I say learn because I suck. Dead plant anyone? My biggest challenge is shading. But hey, you can't get better if you don't practice, right? So I thought I'd share my first two attempts at entertaining myself through drawing.

Nibby

First time drawing a cat. Okay, his eyes are uneven, his feet are just weird and he looks like an anime-kitty, but you can almost tell who it is supposed to be so I consider it a win.

Swine Flu

Inspired by last night's news. Poor little piggies are getting a bad rap. Sadly, this poor drawing won't improve their street cred any, but for my first piggy ever, I thought it was pretty good. And he makes me smile.

Ta da! My journaling goodness.
