Nearly a month ago I wrote a blog post about wanting to draw more. Over the years I have gotten a bit too ego-involved in the whole thing and it has lost some of its fun. I found this cool flickr site called What I wore today and started drawing and posting.
Because I am drawing my self, I feel free to make them wonky.
(The red sweater came out really well when I used some new art markers I bought from Dick Blick. But unfortunately they went through my page and ruined a drawing on the other side so I couldn't continue.)

(The red sweater came out really well when I used some new art markers I bought from Dick Blick.

I am having some challenges with my scanner and colour.
I was using mostly watercolour and watercolour pencils. I am not happy with them because the pages don't accept the watercolour very well. It often splotches.
Here I am just using coloured pencil. I enjoy that on the moleskine pages, but it doesn't scan as well. These look better in real life than they do here.
Here is the last one I have done. Do you think they are changing?

Gee, thanks you guys. I feel encouraged :)
These are so fun. They also wonderful..You are so talented..
Terrific drawings.
oh my gah i love these! I used to photograph my outfits in the 80's - they were outrageous and I wore them on the street! eek! These are wonderful
Rochelle, why don't you send me a few photos and I will draw one? I am tired of drawing me.
The "What I Wore" craze did a great job and got you into drawing again, and to work on the clothes just adds to the sparkle. Your works rock and your clothes are splendid! It must have been hard to choose a favorite, wasn't it?
gee, thanks Joey.
Not so hard to pick a favourite as I mostly wear the studio clothes. Whenever I would dress to 'go out' that would be what I would draw.
