This is a group of finished gargoyles made by the second grade, and I still cannot get over how amusing they are! I’ve taken them out over and over the past few days and just giggled.

More remarkable, is that some of the most grotesque of the gargoyles were made by the students who are very soft-spoken and sweet tempered. This makes me wonder what’s going on under that serene demeanor! Kids are complicated creatures.

I am very excited about the feedback I’ve been getting from parents, colleagues, and students about the one drawing a day challenge!

Many more people than I had hoped are participating! While I won’t be posting all the sketches I make this month in a timely manner, it definitely keeps me honest knowing that the people around me are all working towards the same goal, and may ask to take a peek at my sketchbook at any given moment!

Here’s to a month of sketching and to securing a regular habit!
