Wonderful sketches, I love the bunny 🙂
Thank you Kellie:)
Ha! I’ve been that bird woman with the glasses! Amazing sketches, love them.
Welcome bird woman! Thanks much:)
Spot on and beautifully executed!
Thanks. I was a new kid a lot growing up, so it feels familiar;)
For me too.:)
Wow, brilliant! Each one captures that feeling expertly. My favorite would have to be that insanely adorable bunny face. So great!
Thank you Cindy:)
You are amazing I loved them, Thanks and Love, nia
Thank you Nia.
What an interesting analogy!
Thank you Louis.
Great capture of that awkward and earnest feeling. 🙂 The girl with the bunny body reminds me of how I feel when I’m supposed to do something physically co-ordinated in front of people. 🙂 Takes ‘all thumbs’ to a whole new level.
Oh yes! Remember gym/physical ed. class? Thanks Sheril
Don’t remind me of gym! 🙂 The only talent I have is dance…can’t run to save my life. Oh well….
You can dance-I’m envious!
Oh yes, that feeling. A bit awkward, vulnerable, and excited!
What a great drawing!
🙂 Thanks Karen.
LOL! I feel like this everyday! I love these, it’s like looking in a mirror 🙂
🙂 Thanks Indigene!
Wonderfully mellow sketches, Elena. I smell a story here…
Thanks Amal! Good to hear from you!
Love it! Right out of the sketch book is always good enough for me.
You should know, Master Sketcher! Thanks!
These are so fun!
Thanks!
