Purses, Wallets or Bags

Purses, Wallets or Bags

Here's yesterday's drawing - my Paul Frank purse. It's not used often but my every day wallet is black and boring. Maybe that would have made better drawing practice - more of a challenge - but this was more fun!

I'm finding these Derwent Inktense pencils strange to work with. It's difficult to mix colours due to the waxy texture before applying water. I'll stick with them though, since they cost a fair penny and I probably haven't given them a chance yet. I'm quite pleased with the results but I'm not sure I'm getting the best out of them yet, so any pointers towards watercolour pencil techniques would be gratefully received!

I think it looks great! The highlight makes it pop. Nicely done.

Well done! And I think every girl/woman needs at least one childish little accessory! Keeps us feeling young at heart!

It's a great purse! I love it! (Not sure if you've seen my - everyday - kitty purse ;) )
I think FUN is a great and totally valid reason to draw something.
