This month's SCBWI Draw This! prompt was ROYAL. I've never participated in this before, not sure why. They usually send out the new prompt on the first of the month, but this month it didn't arrive until the 15th, I'm sure because of the SCBWI LA conference. So that left way less time than usual to get the art done. I love all things "royal", so felt compelled to draw a little something.
This is another one done with a black Polychromo colored pencil. That's all.
Notice that the crown has one jewel missing.
I think there's a story here waiting to be told. . .
SCBWI's drawing prompt for March is LUCKY.
I got to thinking about luck,
and what it means to me.
With or without four-leaf clovers, book contracts,
double-rainbows or pots of gold,
I am wishing-wells full of the best kind of luck.
I have beauty all around me -
in sky and earth,
in people with all their glorious quirks,
in a roof over my head, clean water,
in laughter and forgiveness.
And I am free -
free to write, to make art, to learn,
dream, wish, pray,
to hope.
I believe thankfulness and hope can fill the darkest sky with stars.
That's my kind of lucky.
