This is what happens...

Yesterday was one of those days - you know the ones. You are ready to draw and sketch away. Pencils and eraser at the ready, with a nice black pen nearby to capture some strong lines...and then...nothing.  Loops, swoops, swirls and straight lines...nothing inspires.

As much as Facebook has taken a big hit on the favorites for social media lately, it still holds tried and true for one thing: ask for suggestions on sketching and get a slew of answers, from the ridiculous to the most spiritually themed.  This one was the the first suggestion someone had: "recreate American Gothic as if inspired by Tim Burton."

So, "American Goric" by me, as inspired by Tim Burton: Total time, approximately 30 minutes - for fun.

Thank you Kathy for the kickstart!
