Welcome to Litsy!

#BFC21: haven‘t gone for a walk in two days. A formal stay-at-home order was issued for Ontario today, so even though exercise is one of the few reasons people are allowed to leave the house, I am anxious about leaving the house. Also, the neighbourhood is FULL of people walking around to get their exercise in 😬
Drawing: skipped yesterday but back today with “sprouts”

#BFC21: No walk today, unfortunately, but I did do some much-needed tidying up, so I think that counts as exercise 😂
Today‘s doodlewash prompt: gate

#BFC21: another walk to the library, and another drawing. Today‘s prompt: kitten 🐱

#BFC21: no walk today, but did draw today‘s prompt, “recycle”.
Next month my goal is to make a goal where I won‘t feel the need to make daily posts 😂😂

#BFC21: notched my second walk of the week (another library jaunt) and drew today‘s prompt: novel. Naturally I drew myself reading one. Side note: since I got glasses I have had to relearn how to draw myself 😆

#BFC21: went for only a short walk today, but I counted it because it also involved strength training. My BF went to the grocery store near us and I walked over to help him carry the groceries back ?
Today‘s drawing prompt was « chick » and I felt it needed a splash of colour, so here it is.

#BFC21: went out for a short walk after work. Unfortunately, a lot of other people had the same idea, so my route was dictated primarily by where I could walk and maintain 6 feet distance ?

Today‘s doodlewash prompt is « modern », so naturally I drew my first cellphone, which made me feel very modern when I got it ?

#BFC21: today‘s drawing is a very slapdash key. Hadn‘t the heart to draw much today. I did get out for a walk to the library at lunchtime, before all hell broke loose.

#BFC21 day 5 in January (haha just noticed I dated my drawing 2020 ?). When I saw the Doodlewash prompt was « fresh », I knew I had to try my hand at lettering the logo from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air ?

Also walked to the library to drop off books, but there was a queue and I didn‘t like the idea of waiting. Will head over tomorrow. At least it‘s an excuse for another walk!

#BFC21 day 4: today‘s drawing prompt is « flowers ». I originally drew the vase too big, so trimmed it down to suit the bouquet I had ?

Also walk 2/5 achieved. It was snowing « Christmas magic » snow (like in bad Netflix movies ?), so I went out walking in it for about half an hour.

#BFC21: drew the day 3 prompt for Doodlewash. The prompt was « baby », so I drew the baby version of Coco Bandicoot, a character in the Crash Bandicoot racing game Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled. Inset is the image I used as the basis for my drawing.

#BFC21 day 2:
??‍♀️walked to the library to drop off books. I am considering a week to go from Friday to Thursday, given that Jan began on a Friday.
??‍? drew the day 2 prompt for Doodlewash: « path ».

My “draw something every day” challenge for #BFC21 begins now! I‘m using prompts from the website Doodlewash: https://doodlewash.com/january-2021-art-challenge-beautiful-and-new/ Today‘s prompt is “new”, so I chose to illustrate a lyric from the Talking Heads song NEW Feeling. That‘s supposed to be me on the left 😂

A treat from the NYT Book Review.

I keep trip diaries for every family trip to the UK & Ireland. On our last trip (to Wales), I threw some cartoons into the mix, inspired by meeting Peter Capaldi and receiving encouragement from him to keep drawing. The cartoon shown here is of my parents and brother napping in Hay-on-Wye while I read (and yes Dad snores that loudly 😂).
