Drawing Challenge: Habit

Word association: 
You say 'habit'; I say 'bad'.

'Habit' - acrylic, oil stick, graphite and paper on book page; 8"x6"



detail 01

detail 02
When a bad habit caught me in its vicious circle of hopelessness, the only way out was surrender and prayer, one day at a time.

Many more takes on this theme 
by talented artists 
can be found over at Kirsten's fascinating blog, A Sunny Spot.

  1. yeah i was wondering about that lavitating aspect in the right hand corner, and besides those symbols i simply adore the 'whitewash' over it all, rendering the tale {which it to me is} a weathered, lived effect.
    this is quality composition too!

  4. I love your mixed technique and, just like Nadine, the white layer. I also thought of bad habits, maybe this will be a day to strengthen the good ones...

    Hope to see you again next dc, getting to hear more about you.

  7. Well, Sus, I don't think all the bad habits that appear in your drawing are (still .... ;-) !) yours
    Love the texture of all the layers

  8. LOVE those houses with the two moons above Sus. I'd love to see lots more of this type of collage...I mean with houses...I've been dreaming of house shapes. Maybe I'll dig out some papers and scissors and see what I come up with. I love this piece. Those ladders. Oh those ladders. There's tons more here in this piece so I'll be coming back with my magnifying glass to have a look see. Lovely work as always. Hugs, Norma, x

  13. Great detail in this artwork Sus
    I am loving the composition and the washed effect the layering of imagery is just so interesting. They do say some good always comes from bad I think this may be it.
