Wednesday
Wonder
The Wednesday Wonder meme is a weekly meme that takes...about a week to do. Kathryn hosts it and various collaborators choose a wonder for the week. This week's was by the lovely artistic leah:

Drawing From Within author, Nick Meglin, says that "No one can teach you how to draw." He claims that a person learns to draw by the act of drawing, so this week I challenge you to keep a sketchbook handy and get drawing! Try to fill three pages per day with drawings, doodles, collages, paintings or whatever you like. Remember when you draw that it's ok to make "bad art" and it's ok to make mistakes. Let go of your inner judge, have fun and be playful! :-)

My inner judge even has a name: Mr. Burdett, my sixth grade teacher. I suck at art. I do. But, as bryn says, the fun of the ww is that it gives you "permission" to play.

Funny, I even had some art pencils I had purchased a year ago. So I broke them out. Disaster. But it was fun. Sample here. I call it face/fat thumb/funky dancing bird.
