In the last few weeks due to family sickness, ergo Orla then Luke, then Orla, then me and so on and on, very little drawing has been achieved, or work of any kind come to that. Plush which I have been rebuilding my Art Shop on a new platform. However, this week I have managed a bit of sketchbook stuff, and below is one of them. This is intended as a basis for some new ideas for development, and is also my submission for the 52 Week Doodle project on Flickr.

In the mood for cakes and inspired by my little girls cup cake drawings she did a few months ago (which are on my bedroom room wall, there is NO room where her art is not featured), I present ‘Cupcake’. I am quite taken with the cup cake theme at the moment and have been looking a lot in confectionery windows, not only that, it’s a theme that everyone loves. Not just to drool, though that goes without saying, but also to take some shots, I as I want to do a series of digital illustrations around this theme. The common ‘cup cake’ has transcended itself and the varieties, colours and shapes are diverse indeed, almost too good to eat some of them.

I just know that the more I look, the more cakes I see!! What about you?

I can’t manage a doodle a day, but I can certainly manage one a week. So here is my first doodle fo Week 1 of 52 Weeks. So, yep, as well as my 52 Weeks Project I am doing on my personal blog, I am also doing a ‘Doodle a Week’ Project on here and Flickr. Drawn in a small 4×6 sketchbook and using a micron pen. Anyone is welcome to join. The purpose is simple, just to submit one doodle a week for 52 weeks, in any medium you choose, including both traditional and digital mediums.
