sketching is not
my best thing. not by far.
i do it because mags need a picture of what’s in my head.
thing is, i don’t doodle. i’ve never been one to draw just because i had free time
and a paper, and a pencil.
so my sketches
look like
this
(in ‘real life’,
that turned into
knitscene, accessories
2013).
unlike me,
my oldest likes to draw.
she adds colors
and textures.
she draws eyes (which i can’t yet and so don’t)
and draws mouths (which are still well beyond my comfort zone).
she is brave in this area of sketching where i am not.
that impresses me.
it also makes me think that when she gets
to be an actual grown-up, that there will be no stopping her.
i like that. a lot.
