      I like your watercolors.

      Hang in there with the books. You may just be ahead of your time. I think they are perfect for children books.

        Thanks Bryan, I will keep working it.

        Here is a coffee break watercolor. Made the rough idea in sketchup, painted a vanilla version of it.

        "Cow in Sunshine"

            I'm sorry if this is going across as if I know it all but Sara, my ex, is a speach and language therapist and she uses games and children's books as a way of encouraging children with language (speech or cognition) and learning problems. I think you could slightly change your focus and do something good while getting a reasonable return. With your permission I would like to pass on your email so you can talk direct and get pointers direct from the horses mouth. Is that OK? NOT time to give up and I believe in your idea. I hope something can be worked out.

              Just a quick point, your link above is not working, Sara would be better placed if she could see what you have so far. Never mind, I found them.

                  So I put all my Bridge Building robot books on

                  http://www.bridgerobots.com (all Free downloads)

                  If you have comments I would like to hear them. Like I said, I think further books are on hold until I can figure out what to do next....

                  The word for the next "DrawThis" contest is "swift". I may enter a watercolor instead of a sketchup image?

                  Thanks!

                    So this one for the contest word "Swift" or my previous Trailer Swift?

                    "Painted" on a five year old ipad 2. I am thinking about buying an Ipad Pro...

                    Sorry to be a posting bother...

                      The contest for September has been posted. I did use sketchup in my entry in the post above. So this is sketchup related, maybe, sorta

                      Draw This! Swift

                      favicon

                      (drawthisswift.blogspot.com)

                      I would be interested to hear who you thought won this time?

                      These are the winners, what do you think? (Am I a sore loser for wondering how they pick the winners.)

                      Kristen Adam , Carrie O'Neill

                        The word for October was "Fright"

                        Here is the website for the contest.
                        http://drawthisfright.blogspot.com/

                        I think this will be my last contest, I just don't understand how they judge the winners.

                        These are the winners. (My entry was a robot of course. )
