Funny enough, we were on a short road trip when I drew this today (always interesting trying to draw while bumping down a road)…I only took a few minutes and didn’t use any models (obviously).
You did this in the car?! Wow, that’s incredible! What a sweet picture, so reminiscent of days past. Course, I love my Google maps and couldn’t do without it giving me step by step instructions on how to get to my front door.
I probably couldn’t draw that if the kid was sitting in front of me like that, never mind plucked from air in a bumpy car! I was tempted to do this one myself but couldn’t really devise a concept – yours is adorable!
Awesome sketch <3! My dad got my sister and I a set of cars and "a carpet of roads" for Christmas once. We were a bit confused. We were both way too "girly" for a car set. But then we realized we could sit our Barbies on top of the tiny cars. Unrealistic… but our Barbies' lives were imaginary anyway.
I love how you are always telling a story as well as celebrating the day. This makes me long for the days when my children were that size and all children were playing with toys, not devices. (K)
Hahaha! Oh, you are going to be envious that my sister got a Barbie camper for Christmas one year. We never actually got a Barbie, but had some other knock-offs that worked fine.
My sons received a road carpet from their grandmother. They loved it! I need to find a photo of them playing on it. 🙂
You are too, too kind, Laura! ❤ I hope you've been keeping well and happy; I miss your daily posts, but I'm sure you're getting a lot of other things done. 🙂
No doubt, lots of things getting done in this office this week (I fervently hope)! But seriously, you rock, Teresa. (You should know this, if you don’t already!)
It’s wonderful, Teresa. Love that the boy is playing with his car and looking at the map. My son would do that too.
