Day 5 - AEDM & Nablopomo - #36 Buddha

I came so close to packing in the 75 day sketch challenge today. 

I was just not up to par.

I felt so tired and 

I kept putting the sketch off, 

and putting it off,

and putting it off,

 until 3 pm came and, 

I thought, it's now or never! 

I forced myself to grab my pens and Moleskine sketchbook 

then went to my bedroom/my sanctuary. 

There, I sat on my bed and sketched 

the Buddha sculpture that resides in my room. 

I love this statue! 

It's not the first time I have sketched him either. 

He is from Bali and sculpted from wood. 

He sits nearly two feet high and 

was originally dark brown but 

I painted him an aqua-blue which I love.

He always seems to bring me peace and calm. 

So, here he is...

#36 of 75 pen/ink sketches

Pencil-free sketch in A6 pocket Moleskine sketchbook 

using a mix of ZIG Millennium, Faber Castell PITT, and Micron pens.

So, I live to see another day in the 75 day pen/ink sketch challenge. 

I'm nearly at the halfway mark now and

I sure hope I can make it all the way to the end.
