In my art plan for 2007 I stated that I wanted to draw more from imagination instead of just depicting stuff, but did I? Nope. Almost nothing. And that is not good, since 2007 is drawing to it´s end. So I decided to do something about it.
I have given myself the challenge of making one drawing from imagination every day in December. I made two simple, easy, cheap sketchbooks especially for this, folded from one piece of huge paper each. They´ve got 14 pages in them. Of course that makes 28 pages only, which I couldn´t help, since the way you fold these thingies only gives you 14 pages. So since December has 31 days, I have the possibility of giving myself some slack three days. Might come in handy. :)
Feel free to join me in this - imagination is fun, and I for one could use some more of it!
20,5 x 15 cm, pencil and watercolours in cheapo sketchbook.

Well the piece you just posted sure is imaginative...love the little fellow's face and the polka dots. Great colors and lots of fun.
Nina-- I can't wait to see all the wonderful things you'll be sketching -- whether from something observed or from the joy of imagination ... your work is always a treat!!! LOVE IT!
Brilliant start!
What an excellent idea! This should be fun -- you WILL post them, won't you -- even if you do it in batches!
I'm really looking forward to this new challenge and seeing yet another dimension of your art!
Re 'cheapo' - your English is excellent, spoken like a Brit! ;)
Love the look on his face! If I wasn't already doing a challenge I would join you. It will be fun to see what your imagination comes up with.
Åh.. det låter som en perfekt utmaning även för mig! Jag hoppar på och ska rita från fantasin varje dag, scannar ibland.

Looking fwd to seeing more from your imagination Nina, you inspired me to do a little from my own this evening.
I love this imagination idea of your...I wanted to join in, but got so involved in other things...but I still can, no?
This is a fun one, I really like it! Nice to see lots of work by you!
