Emotions

Because of a huge amount of workload, we were not able to post for some time. 
There was also no wy for both of us to finish this drawing. 
So here is just one approach:

I tried to draw emotions. 

On the left side I drew happiness and on the right side I drew a green eyed monster (jealousy).

Next time we will be back to normal!

Black & White

After two other ideas I settled with some doodeling. 

Black and white - only one idea

Summer

Summer means two things for me: the sea and sunflowers!

What I love about summer are the wonderful sunsets at the sea. They are a bit tacky but so beautiful. 
So I took my pastels and drew one. I am really content with the result.

And here the reminder:

We would like to invite you all to join our challenge.

We will post the word(s) of the week on Sunday and then we all have one week (till Saturday evening) to create our approach to this word(s). If you want to share your work with all of us (and that would be really wonderful) then mail it to us till Saturday evening. We will post yours and our two pages on Sunday for everyone to see.

It would really be great if you would all share your pages with us.

So, just create a page, take a photo, reduce the size so that it fits into one e-mail and send it to us (thejournalchallenge@gmail.com).

The words of this week will be: “Black and White”!

We really look forward to your approaches and hope to receive lots of mails.

Time

After watching the "Alice in Wonderland" film by Tim Burton I bought the original "Alice" books by Lewis Caroll. I read them and was amazed by the story. 
I can still remeber the white rabbit in the Disney version and I really like him. He is always rushing around trying to beat the time because he is so afraid that he might be too late. 
So I decided to draw the white rabbit from "Alice in Wonderland". 
The drawings in my book are so beautiful that I chose to draw this rabbit and not the Disney version. 
Finally I have to say: "Oh dear, oh dear! I shall be too late!"

We are always looking at our watches, trying to be in time and to squeeze everything in the 24 hours of a day. And sometimes we just forget to look at the nice things in life. So please don't forget to look at the rainbow!

Summer starts on June 21st!
Therefore the word for next week is "Summer"!

Sweet 'n' Tasty

For me the essence of sweet and tasty is a fresh and ripe strawberry. I can't resist them and as soon as the first strawberries appear in the supermarket I have to have them.  My secret wish: a strawberry as big as an orange.

I am a huge fan of sweets. I like cookies, cakes, muffins and anykind of chocolate. I really do. 

So when thinking about sweet 'n' tasty I immediately thought of a cheesecake. I really like it topped with cherries. 

And here the reminder:

Going wild

The titel of my page is: "Going wild with colors"!

I immediately associated "going wild" with wild animals. First I was thinking of zebras or wolves but then I remembered a trip to Yellowstone and the bisons there. For me they are the perfect example of wild animals, strong and impressive.

Hello out there!

No, we are not lazy and yes, we haven't posted anything this week.

Why not?

That’s easy to answer.

We had a fabulous idea last week. We came together on Sunday and posted our letter and discussed the word(s) of the week and on Tuesday or Wednesday we had the idea to share the word with all of you. No, not in our regular way but before we draw it.

We would like to invite you all to join our challenge.
