Day 6 of the 366 Daily Sketch Challenge

Thankfully, I managed to stave off the migraine last night 

although I did need to take medication for it.

Needless to say, I was a little foggy-brained today.

I believe it's due to tension from a stiff neck 

which I'm still dealing with.
Not sure of the cause.

Anyway, a simple black and white sketch for today. 

Not a great photo because I took it under artificial light.

It was quite a warm day today. 

Michelle popped over with the girls for a visit.

We watched 'Homeward Bound'
which is such a sweet movie.
The girls did some painting too...what fun we had!

That's all for today
...stay tuned.

Day 5 of 366 Daily Sketch Challenge

Just a quick post and run tonight. 

I have a migraine trying to get a grip on me.
Another self-portrait.

Just close your eyes and relax....

Just to give you an idea on how I work, 

below is the loose pen sketch I did 

before applying the watercolours and detailing. 

Now I'm off to bed to hopefully
get rid of this looming migraine
before it gets a hold on me.
