    Venus de Milo
    28 February 10

    My picture for the day.
    For those who are curious about how I produce them:
    I have horrible performance anxiety, plus my left brain is a rubbish drawer.
    My right brain, however, thinks drawing is the most fun in the world.
    So I keep my left brain occupied by drawing with my mouse, using Paint, the program that comes standard with Windows.
    It's hard to draw with your mouse, specially if your desk is cluttered, so I am thinking so hard about how to make the lines that I don't worry about how they look, and voila, Bob's your aunty, there's the picture.
    I like this picture a lot.
    You'll see that the jolly milo venus is having a little fiddle...

    I'll have either.

    I meant to say - I wish it was just one side of my brain that is a rubbish drawer. It's both sides with me......

    Helen, try a tablet, you'll love it, it is much easier since you'll be drawing with a pen attached to the tablet. Either way I adore your characters, so funny and 'colorful' in all sense of the word.

    The meal replacement girl looks quite miserable doesn't she? Milo lady is having a wonderful time. These drawings are BRILLIANT Helen.
