Remember the Year Of Drinking Adventurously in 2016? This is a slightly less debauched weekly challenge for 2018. I found a chart on Pinterest, with subjects to draw during each week of the year. Week one is my choice. It only seemed fitting to start off the challenge with something writing-related, so here is my sketch of the Queen of Mystery: Agatha Christie:

Lovely Meg. The photo is very reminiscent of Baden Powell, or is that just me?

Thanks, Peter! It must be the era. Plus her attire – the hat, cardigan and man’s tie.

And I thought you’d draw something relatively simple…like a pencil for writing. A 8 sided object suddenly doesn’t seem so easy.
So that’s what she looked like. I heard about her when I was a Cub-sprout, but never saw a photo of her. Just Lord Baden-Powell. Now that would have been a real challenge.

Maybe I’ll try Baden Powell for another week’s challenge!

Great job! I’ve always found people are the hardest to draw. I’m rarely happy with my people drawings. And they’re usually doodles… haha 🙂

Thank you! I struggle with symmetry – getting the eyes the same size, for example. And doodles – have you ever seen The New Yorker cartoons? Some of them don’t even qualify as doodles! And someone is making a killing at it!

Yes… I’ve seen them. Of course, I have to have a witty idea first… and I’m not confident in my doodles. (Of course, I’m not very confident in anything… so yeah… lol)

I don’t think I could do the humor either. One of the weeks is ‘comic strip’ – I have no idea what to do for that one! 😳

Draw your own version of an existing strip, maybe? I have a number of Calvin & Hobbes books… lol

That’s a great idea! I love Calvin, too. Or maybe a Far Side cartoon!

Or someone comically stripping? Ha! I think this headache is getting to me… lol

Hahaha! That could work – a great play on words – the comic stripping. I’d have to make the ‘comic’ recognizable though! Hmmmm… 😜 Ah, i hope the headache goes away soon… maybe with sleep tonight.

I feel like it may be permanent. No, I know it’s not… but I’m really sick of it. I hope it’s not something horrible… I get paranoid!
