"Since we’re all going to be self-isolating together for a while. I thought we could have a competition around what could be meant by ‘a drawing diary’.

It could mean any number of things...

Maybe, a series of portraits of people you live with.

Or a story that builds over time using pictures… a bit like a comic.

It could be daily events from your life.

It could be a series of drawings of your cat going about their business (perhaps their night-time adventures)… or your dog, maybe your goldfish. Oh… you have rabbits? Rabbits then (or Guinea pigs... or pet rats, or - if you don't have a pet - is there a mouse behind the washing machine? You could definitely find a vast menagerie of animals on the internet - so lions, tigers, elephants and elephant shrews can be included too!)

It could be views out of different windows in your house. Who goes past? Is it sunny? Is that a bird talking to a squirrel in the tree?

It could be the changing expressions on someone’s face as they watch TV, or read a book, or daydream about being incredibly famous, or adventuring up the Amazon river.

It could be a series of drawings of things drawn from life… a houseplant, a person, a cat (dog, goldfish etc etc), the things in your house.
