drawing | everyday life

as much as i love this week's theme, i'd warned elisabeth this one was gonna make me sweat. but then, as per usual, i boarded a commuter train, both ways slow. i set about in an unusual place, for my sketch book lay at home. i cooled down a bit, started... doodling. 

i've had to cut and paste a little, in order to get it all sorted out on the scan (sounds pretty nurse-y, don't it?), and i advice all viewers to click and enlarge. if not, you may get lost in my hazy daily nitty-gritties. a thrift shop-a-day is no exception round here. sort of. in my dreams it is not!

  2. it's a good way of spending time while commuting. I used to doodle while on the phone, before the era of cordless and the cell phones.

  7. I love, love, love your sketch of the purse! It belongs in a children's book illustration... beautiful.

    P.S. Sorry I've been a slow blogger/commenter these days... summer classes have been taking up my time...

  10. oh woolfie, i do love your doodles! you make me feel like a cheater! i don't know where my sketchbook is let alone any time to sit down and sketch. FLOW...very nice. the bus reminds me of when i was pulled off one enroute from Amsterdam in Brussels, the police thought my smurf sticker i got in Italy was suspicious! :) i think it was my wild hair and green suede shoes.

  11. Nadine, I saw this early this morning and have been thinking about it all day. I absolutely love the sketches with all of the fun details of your day. The composition is great too. I love to study such interesting drawings.

  12. Always inspirational! I'd need a Nadine-sketchbook in my everyday life! And the fun thing is that i bought myself a beautiful sketchbook the other day - with the dream of me drawing more in my everyday life. Sketches just like this. But somehow your everyday life seems more exotic than mine. Living in a country I've never been to - and - the most exciting fact - a thrift shop a day. Wow, I'd suit in your everyday habits... ;)

    PS. You make me laugh with 'very well put'...!
