It just turned out that at the beginning of this week I did a couple of jugs and jar sketches. Then I decided to keep that theme for he rest of the week. Thomas, over at OneDrawingDaily.com, is doing a series on world leaders. So I’m considering the idea of themes, as well, and I’ll be trying out that idea (just themes, not world leaders), probably for a week at a time, and see how I do.
