THREE SILLY LADIES AND THINK PINK

Three quick sketches today of silly ladies, with a little touch of doggerel added.  Sketching quickly like this without a preconceived idea of what I am going to draw is always fun, and I hope you enjoy them.

I think Miranda is my favourite, she really knows how to enjoy herself.

INSPIRATION AVENUE reminds us that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  My niece died very young from breast cancer, and as life has gone on some of my friends have also died.  I am so glad that since those days of many years past, the treatment for breast cancer has improved tremendously and can now save women's lives.  My entry for the challenge is very simple, but I hope it is a reminder to 'Think Pink' and take action early.

"THINK PINK" - Jez
I had a lovely surprise last week.  I had won the September prize on Try it on Tuesday with my 'Dotty Man' -


He was one of the faces I had drawn for the 29 Faces challenge in September.  I had experimented to see if I could create a face using only dots, and when I saw the TIOT challenge was 'Dots' he seemed just right.

I don't know what the prize is yet, but just winning the challenge is enough of a pleasure.  Thank you Try it on Tuesday.

  1. I like the circle of PINK you did for the challenge.
    And your faces and stories are wonderful. I draw stick people badly, so appreciate those of you that can actually draw a face and it looks like something!

  3. Your ladies are superb, enhanced by the little stories. I like Jilly-Jo best, poor thing being stood up after getting all dressed up with her nice hair and pink bag.

  19. I'd go for Miranda as well, always loved to dance :-) the illustrations are all lovely!
    And your think pink-idea is working very well, and I guess it is not as simply done as it may look!
    Congratulations on your win, the dotted man is amazing!
    Happy PPF

  20. I love your ladies - especially Jilly-Jo, purely because I think if he ever turns up he's going to get clobbered withthat handbag :D

    Love your dotty man - not surprised you won something with him, much respect, it would make me go squiffy eyed to try that technique!
