Sometimes I take a sketchbook with me all the times and draw a lot. Then may pass by months without sketching anything. Some months ago I started a little sketchbook to do drawings outside with felt-tip pens. I am exploring different ways to use them: in colour blocks and layers, more scribbly or more reduced, finding patterns and shapes. The last one is what I most would like to achieve and what most difficult is for me. I want my drawings to be more precise, calm, balanced, elegant.
I admire the work of artist Jill Bliss.

A veces llevo un cuaderno de dibujo conmigo siempre y dibujo mucho. Luego pueden pasar meses sin dibujar nada. Hace algunos meses empecé un pequeño cuaderno para hacer dibujos al aire libre con rotuladores. Estoy explorando diferentes maneras de utilizarlos: bloques de color y capas, más suelto o más reducido, encontrando patrones y formas. Lo último es lo que más me gustaría conseguir y a la vez lo que más me cuesta. Quiero que mis dibujos sean más precisos, tranquilos, equilibrados, elegantes.
Admiro el trabajo de la artista Jill Bliss.

Gracias por tu visita y comentario. Este "Peacock in the park" tiene mucha gracia. La practica constante y la perseverancia te llevara a conseguir dibujar como deseas. Suerte en tus proyectos!!
Barbara, these are AMAZING!! I love your style - drawing in felt tip is so courageous because you can't go back and change things; I always need an extra dose of courage to go straight to pen (or felt tip)! I LOVE what you did here - this is what I WANTED my drawing in the zoo to look like... I need so much more practise with felt tip!!
Thank you for your comments, I appreciate them so much!
@Ana: thank you for your words. I admire very much your style. This is exactly what I need, practice and perseverance. I want to learn so much, become better and find my style.
@Yvonne: thank you for all your comments and your time to read here! You can find the drawings I did in line with the Museum acivity here on my blog, I´ll send you the link by email, ok?
Hugs from Madrid to you all, Barbara
