Switching Creativity

Earlier today, I updated my logo on The Hedgeblog. And then I was going to really get going on my WIP. I am doing a NaNoWriMo inspired write-athon this month, mainly ‘cos I am sick of myself procrastinating, and just want to get the damn thing finished!

So, what do I do? I start browsing Pinterest, and found an irresistible pin showing how to draw a hedgehog in 4 easy steps. HOW could I resist this challenge? Easily, you say. No, not me! I used to draw years ago, and I was curious to see if I can still do it. That’s the ‘almost Aries’ in me. Long story!

Of course, after the hedgehog was drawn, he needed a little house, in which MUST be a bookcase, (because books!!!), and then of course, a little table and crockery in case of visitors…

Here is my progress if anyone is interested in my scribblings:

First, sketch a hedgehog…

.

Well, that wasn’t so hard! Hand cramp doing all those spikes though.

.

Next, some background…

.

Not sure I’ve got the perspective QUITE right!

.

Now for the fun part – colouring IN!!!

.

This took much longer than it should have done!

.

Wanna  extreme CLOSE UP??

Oh I KNOW you do!! 😉

Here it is then…

.

Hedgey never went to skool, but he sure loves sniffing those bookz!

.

Well that’s ALL FOLKS!

Love from Hedgey and I, over at the Hedgehole! x

With apologies to my husband and kids. Who needs dinner anyway? 😉
