a foggy lullaby

I can't believe that in all this time of blogging I've never drawn, or mentioned, pyjamas. Pyjamas are without doubt my favourite item of clothing. Nothing comes close on my 'favourite item of clothing' list. And, I didn't even know I had a 'favourite item of clothing list' until now. But seriously (?), I'm never happier than when I'm in pyjamas. I've got loads of pairs and so this could very well be the start of a new series.

I'm not happy with the creases, on the sides, in this one. I never noticed them until I uploaded it. Why do things always look so different when you see them on screen? Lots of reasons, of course. Why am I asking stupid questions?

  5. Wow! I marvel at your ability to draw infinitesimal detail which adds so much to your overall drawing. You actually drew the individual threads that make up the thread holding your buttons! Never mind the details of the buttons! Wow!

  7. Oh wow, you make me want to crawl into mine right now! You have captured the softness of your subject so well! I just want to reach out and touch the screen.

    I do hope this turns into a very comfy series.

  8. I enjoyed your shoe series so much that when I finally bought a really 'cute' pair, I decided that it would be a good reason to (eventually) draw my own series. But your pyjamas are even more cute; this conveys such a nice sense of coziness. This will be great fun for us all to watch!

  11. Oh, there's nothing quite so snuggly and cosy as a good pair of 'jammies'. They'd be high on my list too.
    The creases look fine to me. You did a great job to convey the softness of the fabric on this.
    Don't you ever get blobs and other such annoyances with your ballpoint pen? I'm sure I would. What brand do you use?

  12. Andrea, I love looking at your work and cant wait to see what you will do next. I put my Old Navy PJ pants on after work. Hint: buy them a bit big and try them inside out. You wont be sorry. Seams on the outside everyone! do it.

  13. There's nothing better than soft purple pajamas and these are both! I love my jammies and practically live in them when I can.

  14. Wow, thank peeps!

    I seem to have found another subject that people feel passionate about - jimjams!

    I thought I was the only person that changed into pyjamas immediately after getting home, but obviously not. Actually I know my sister does it too.

    I really hesitated posting this drawing as I wasn't particularly happy with it. I'm glad I did now! Cheers!
