EDM Challenges # 273 (Tools) and #288 (Spots)
My EDM "Select-a-Challenge Jar" is working well - and here are two challenges that I completed recently. I only select from the jar when I have absolutely NO IDEAS for my daily journal page because I've been hibernating!
EDM Challenge # 273 : Draw a Collection of Tools
These were a few kitchen tools that were used that day. 
EDM Challenge #288: Draw Something With Spots
This baby leopard was drawn from a photo.

Nice layout with the tools!

Great sketches, I like the simplicity of the kitchen tools.

What a cute little leopard! Wonderful job on both of these. I understand how frustrating it can get finding something to draw in hibernation season! Great solution!

I've found also EDM's challenges really inspiring.
Your sketches are great! Keep the nice work!
Hugs!

Yes, you've certainly been hammered with snow this year, but look at all the wonderful things you've done in spite of it! Great leopard, and the tools are right on! nancy

Wonderul drawings! the baby leopard is just so sweet and cuddly! The EDM challenge jar is a wonderful idea. I've been drawing daily and sometimes it is very difficult to come up with a subject for the day. I hope you won't mind if I borrow this myself for my I-can't-think-of-anything-to-draw days.

You have been doing some wonderful sketching and really like that you have added some shading. The little leopard is so sweet and the little ear is over the line, nice connection to the page. I have been looking at your drawings for awhile and enjoying them.
