This really was a quick drawing. Quick for me. It's all relative, of course.
I drew this one in front of the mirror, before putting away my woolly scarves until next winter. I guess it's the closest I've come to a self portrait. But, when it came down to it I preferred the negative spaces.
I'm calling this one Everyday Matters Challenge #22, draw a piece of clothing. See the rest of my challenges HERE.

Lovely as usual. Although I have to admit - my favorite part of your pictures is always your handwriting! (Only because that's my obsession, I always love the pictures too!)
You've done a fabulous job with the texture and colors, Andrea!
I love scarves too and wish I could put this one on--you have captured the soft texture so well! Interesting self portrait...
