Get it! Because I literally am BACK at DRAWING on my BOARD after National Novel Writing Month, I have dubbed this post “Back to the Drawing Board.” Nice!

Not that I’m finished with the novel, yet. Both my husband and I were able to reach the 50,000 word goal a day early thanks to some fresh hop beer and some good music. I still have about 10,000 words left in the story, I think. I would like to finish this year. I think I have a lot more 2011 goals to finish than New Years’ Resolutions at this point.

First, I needed to begin my entry into the Prismacolor contest. I re-started one of the drawings I had been working on and hid my Luminance pencils from myself. Even if my drawing makes it nowhere in the contest, I thought it would be fun to go back to using only Prismas for a change. I predict I will miss the super layering, non breaking powers of the Caran d’Ache Luminance, which will of course be great validation to buy more. Buah ha ha!

Meanwhile, have this sketch I did to try and win a commission. I never heard back about it, but it was a fun little drawing competed in a day. Toad Thinker:
