Random Word Doodle #1

….a lesson from Sketchbook Revival

Discovered a fun app from this lesson called Random Word Doodle. It is described as a creative exercise for the lazy brain. You select one word or  a combination of two words, grab a pen and for 10 minutes draw or doodle what comes to mind. You’re encouraged to make mistakes and learn new words. Here is my drawing from Sketchbook Revival lesson. The words were ‘impossible jar’. Here is what I came up with.IMG-2227
