Last week my youngest daughter was sick, so we spent a lot of time at home doing various activities, among others - drawing together. As I used to, I was drawing from observation, when my daughter, of course, was drawing "from the head". At some point she told me: "Mom, stop drawing by looking, draw from your imagination!" It wasn't easy at all!

Take care of yourself and keep on drawing!

Oh children sometimes give us the best advice! I used to do that too: sketch my little ones while they were drawing. Then we went through a dry patch while they wouldn't make a mark with me, until recently my oldest picked up her sketchbook and asked to go to the botanical gardens to sketch together.
Hi!
This thought has been on my mind recently. My son, has a brilliant imagination and is quite an artist. He is barely 6! He draws from his 'head' and I generally ask him where he gets all these ideas from. It is difficult for me to draw 'from my head'. I wish I had doodled more often while I was growing up!
Do stop by and check his studio at:

Marina, your work is gorgeous.
Your sketches have so much life and personality! I love the ladies with the lipstick and sparkly ring. You bring us right into the story. Thanks!
Thank you all for your nice comments!
@Minerva - all my children liked to draw when they was young and stopped at some stage. Now my youngest daughter is 6, so she still love drawing with me. Enjoy sketching with your oldest!
@Cheena - loved your son's drawings!
