Danica's Day 1: drawing

Inspired by Amber's discovery of this website, and my friday night purchase of this book that was recommended to me years ago, comes our effort to create something new each day and to post our lovely creations on this blog to encourage and inspire each other's artistic pursuits. And be creative about what "being creative" even means!! It doesn't have to be art in the traditional sense. Just create something every day and post it.

Here is my first exercise from my drawing book - a self-portrait drawn without any instruction with the intention that I can look back on this drawing when I'm near the end of the book and see how far I've come, how much I've learned, and how much I've grown:
