A quiet day with the little one in which she asked a very pertinent question...
Daddy, why do you like SKULLS so much?
We had been drawing and whilst she had been sketching out giraffes, stick men and pregnant mummies with seventeen babies in their tummy. I had been doodling little skulls all of the time.
Well darling, daddy is a stone cold psychopath with a penchant for the macabre.
I do like to tease.
What's a cycle path?
Ah, fret not little one.
I went on to explain that I had always doodled them since I saw my friend's brother draw one. He is a gifted artist whilst I on the other hand am a kak handed fool with a pen.
I asked her if she wanted to learn how to draw one. She was very keen. So off we went.
After seeing my clumsy progression, she quickly drew one of her own
It was a proud moment!! Look at that man, it's flipping marvelous! When she is older I shall sell her art and only charge a modest commission of forty percent.
She went on to draw with gusto.
When I saw the maniac skeleton second from the left my heart swelled to bursting with pride. I mean, what the heck... Are those knives!?
They are actually flags, I asked
It put me in the frame of mind to draw a steemit skull themed drawing. Bear in mind I am no @opheliafu, who has astonishing skillz.
When it comes to digital flippery I think I am quite good but with a pen? Yeek. A quick warm up one before the main act was in order.
Ah such fun.
In the end I finished with this. It made me happy.
And on a quiet day with the little lady I feel all relaxed and fairly happy. It's good to get some down time!
