Sketching Inspiration


Sometimes I will get inspired by an image to create a sketch. 
These sloppy shabby curtains are so wonderful! 
This image came from an old Flea Market Style magazine issue.
I wanted to draw them, but in a room of my own....
The large sized image cuts off the sketch,
 but I wanted to give you a closer look.
I use a roller ball style pen and free hand my drawing. 
Afterwards I use colored pencils to add color.
It takes about 30 minutes from start to finish.
I really enjoy sketching!

I can see why you're inspired! I copied and saved the original pic bc I LOVE this style!
I also love to sketch out window treatments. But you take it so much further. I haven't sketched and colored an entire room in years! You did a beautiful job!
I often have to sketch out designs for my clients to "see" what I'm explaining. Then the trick is making the curtain look like my drawing! LOL!
Thanks for the inspirtation today!

I have that picture saved in my inspirational book, too, Amy. Love the romantic, casual look of it. Your sketches are beautiful! Very romantic. :)

I think your sketch is as inspiring as the original photo.

Wow, you are so good at sketching! I was never really good at art I'm afraid. Your picture is great and wonder do you ever frame them? I think that a few grouped together would look amazing and very interesting!! take care, Maryann

So cute, right down to the little frills on the rug. It's darling, I love your sketches, Amy (just as I love the sidebar ones too). I too, love to draw when the inspiration hits and may have it now, thanks to you!
