This is wonderful! Love the mouse. I wonder what he is trying to tell her?

All you sketchbook pages are fantastic and very detailed!!

Nice feel to these pieces...

You've really warmed up to your sketchbook! I love this one & agree with other tweeps that you should make it a full color illo.

It's definitely working for me. Loving that I have to sketch. It gets me going. I will finish it in color.

I love all three of these animals, but the last with the heart is my most favorite, he is a doll. xoxo

This little scruffy dog reminds me of my Panda....Although Panda didn't look like him except she was black and white, but the eyes are like hers. So full of expression. He's sweet.

Of course he "hearts" everyone. He is so cute. Don't you just love to be in the zone. Have a good time there.

Simply beautiful LOLO,one thing for sure your in the ZONE.

Big hug from me and a wet kiss from Beautje.

I already had my fried rice and when I came to my room I was so exhausted I couldn't find the energy to call home.
Now in the middle of the night I woke up and just skyped home.

Your doggie is the perfect Lo illo gain!

She looks like she could jump right onto the front if she wanted to. HAW.

Awwww she is adorable.

So adorable with the look that only a cat can give!

HAW

OH!
Love the heartdog,,,,so sweet that face, and I also love the kitty!

This journal project will be a ton of fun. Looking forward to seeing all the animal Wednesday posts.
You have an amazing talent for capturing the personalities of these guys.

You have turned the phrase "it's raining cats and dogs" on its ear today! I love the new associations your illustrations bring to the phrase.

Completely positively absolutely smitten with your dog, cat, and dog! :)

sweet!

.What a cutie! I love how you've positioned her peeking from the back cover! Can't wait to see more. I've started but not got far!

Your animals are so real and show so much character - I love this cat!

oohh (sniff)

Hello blondie..........I couldn'figure out what this three meant....I just had to scroll!!!!!
You know I am on my micro pc :)
Oh my this is great too!!!
Just another beauty!!
HAW
and more love!

You are off to a "Great" Greyhound start! Wow! I see the emotion behind the face..... that's what is so stunning in your work.
Wow! (And I mean it.)

HAW!

Love,

♥ Your Sista of the Silver Shoes ♥

Just beautiful. So glad you are forgoing the self-criticism. What a downer that kinda stuff is. This project sounds like fun.

You know, I heard that young man, Heather's son, tell you so sweetly "You are very talented." What a doll and so right on!!! Beam in it, bask in it, take pleasure in your talented self.

Wednesdays will be especially wonderful with your latest additions to the sketchbook being posted. Have fun.

This will be fun to follow. I love this dog picture. I looks like Anabelle next door. She is a whippet. Annie and she are best buds. :))

What a wonderful front cover! I just love that soft colouring and the shiny nose is too cute!x

Oh I'm going to love your sketchbook. I decided not to do it this go round, but I may next year. I look forward to seeing what you do!

oeps I commented here but it didn't show up......... Must have been yesterday when the connection was very bad :(
This is a sweetheart dear! I love these kind of dogs gentle and strong at the same time. I have a weak spot for them.
Somehow they make me think of Robin as well.......
I am missing you dear!

love
♥♥♥

OOOOOOH YEAH! What a perfect theme for you! Love both the front and back covers...Wonderfully smashing illos Laurel!

fantastic sketches!!!

Love your pages! And don't you just love that Liz, too? She's one of my new favorite people on twitter! Such a sweet person!

Keep up the amazing work!

Great sketches! Great inspiration for me ;) And love the pics from Santa Cruz, I want to move there some day!

great sketches.
Duct tape is the greatest invention in life- it is one of the things that you can count on to really work lol.
Like the bean bag family seats :)

Oh hunny I am having a horrible day and you just turned that around when I read this! I'm all emotional! It means so much to me that I inspired you and you mentioned me in your moleskin!!! What an honor! I feel truly blessed to have found you! (I'm gonna stop now before I cry) And I LOVE what you did!! I love the free strokes and the storytelling you did with your sketches - I can tell it was fun for you. I'm so glad I talked you into this =) ((HUGS))

PS Thx Sara you are a sweetie too! =)

Thanks for all of your comments! I'm really fighting making my sketchbook into a monster project. Trying to keep it fun.

Sara--I agree about Liz:)

Clip--I'm amazed at all of the uses for duct tape.

lovely sketches, and thanks for the link to Liz's post - very inspiring. it's so hard not to have the fear of the blank page. I have just ordered my sketchbook and am already fretting! but I'm stopping that now... :-)

Good start Laura! Such a cute image! Trust me..you fill that first page and it gets easier. Do it girl! xxoo

I agree, great start! It reminds me of these little kissing angel statues my grandmother used to have. I'm totally stuck on my first double-pager... it's almost done, but not quite there!

I can't wait to see what else you put in your sketchbook! You are VERY talented!

Looks good Laura! I have mine sitting on my desk staring at me lol :p

ha ha! My sketchbook is still laying empty in my illustration nook. Just lamenting how I really need to do something with it. Suddenly feeling a little unqualified when seeing what my friends are doing with theirs!

Thanks for the commiserating & encouragement everyone. Other people's sketchbooks are so good it stops me cold. Trying not to look too much. Get drawing everyone!
