Welcome to my s~A(R)T~urday linky party – today: Sunday Sketches
“The goal of life: simple, but not empty.”
~ Terri Guillemets ~
Quite literally this is a Sunday Sketches post, because I sketched the illustration you see below today. Alex challenged participants to come up with a temporary logo for here meme. Required were a tree and the meme’s name:
Sunday Sketches from England
I really did not think that I would participate in this challenge, because I have a few other things on my mind. But I guess it is one of those things: Today I just had to sit down and draw something. And, of course, being Sunday I thought about Sunday Sketches. I drew this first with my pens on paper, trying to have the ink strokes of the tree trunk and ‘branches’ very uneven on purpose to imply gnarly bark.
Then I scanned and colored the image in ProCreate on my iPad. Overall I was looking for a paper and drawing feel. As in not too perfect, hence e.g. the bleeding over the edges of the black ink.
Since I did the coloring in ProCreate, I am sharing with you the timelapse video a.k.a. speedpainting that you can save with this app.
Please check out the other entries, because they are fantastic! I already had a peek at a couple and they are wonderful.
Cheers,

Claudia this is so creative, I love it!
Your England-tree sketch is fantastic, love it! What a great entry for the challenge! Hugs, Valerie
It’s so lovely.
That is a very fun and dynamic logo
Very unique and so cleverly done Claudia,
You use a technique that I’ve never used and your video is spellbinding! Good Luck with the logo.
Enjoy your Sunday and I hope you have a wonderful week ahead.
What a fun idea! The colors and design is wonderful. I like it very much.
it’s fun to see the timelapse video, seeing the strokes/colors and how it changes. I didn’t even think to make the tree that way but this works well.
have a lovely day.
You did a great job. This definitely has the feel of Sunday Sketches from England. The tree is so cleverly done. Hope you win. genie
How how wonderful ~ simplicity is so striking ~ great illustration for the contest!
Happy Week to you ~ ^_^
now, that´s a good one. SOLD!
That’s pretty cool. Even before I read the post I thought it looked very British!
I was surprised to see a linky? I thought you were away for the Summer, no sARTurday. Am I wrong? I am thinking that these art memes do not include creative writing. But, wow! The artists are great!Please let me know! I love when “less is more”, so I like this artwork. And I really like that quote! Keep in touch…I am a fan! HUGS!
I love watching these little videos and follow your process. So cool. Great sketch. 🙂
Fantastic!! I love how you incorporated the flag in there too. Briliiant!!
