Being in a drawing mood today, I opened my sketch book, grabbed a pencil and prepared to draw. What could I draw today? What is big in my life at the moment? The answer was obvious. NaNoWriMo. Yes, I'd draw a piece of NaNo art. But what?
The first thing that occurred to me was that I could write 'NaNoWriMo' down. Maybe that would be a good starting point. And so, with many millions of guidelines, I began. The picture grew and grew, turning into less of a picture, and more poster style.
Bold colours jumped out of the pencil box. Blue and brown, the colours of NaNo, filled the background. Bright yellows and oranges coloured the words. Under my fingertips, the page came to life.
So, this is my first attempt at NaNo art. What do you think of it? Could you see it as a poster advertising NaNo? Because I can.
It looks brilliant Imogen. Very nice and you have amazing drawing skills! (I am nearly jealous!!!! I can hardly draw)
ReplyDeleteBeautuiful! Keep up your absolute amazingness!

Jessica, I can hardly draw either. I just do a very good job of pretending. It took forever to get those words right. And the background was so simple. I bet anyone could do it. I think I've found a new favourite art form. Art with words! So easy.
ReplyDeleteKeep up you amazingness too. You're awesome.
I like it! Especially the crossed pencils. :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! It is the type of thing you put as your wallpaper when you are working on NaNo!
ReplyDeleteI love this! And agreed, it'd make a perfect ad poster. (:
ReplyDeleteMiriam, I think the crossed pencils were just the finishing touch. It is kind of like a battle to write that much in one month, and swords aren't exactly appropriate. Plus pencils are much easier to draw.
ReplyDeletePeggy Eddleman, I love how it ended up looking so clean and bold. Just tells you the basics. It's like 'One month. Go for it!' I'd love to have it as my background wallpaper. I can't think why I didn't consider it before.
ReplyDeleteJenna, It'd look nice on glossy paper and computer coloured. My talent doesn't lie with perfect colouring I'm afraid.
