Doodlebug!

I love the drawing style in old girls' magazines and annuals from the 60s and 70s:



I tried a couple of sketches myself:



I'd really like to get back into drawing/painting type art stuff, it's really nice to get lost in something like perfecting the shading on a drawing.

I went through the pictures folder on my computer recently and I've got loads of stuff saved on there from google image search and various websites. I thought I'd post a selection of it here, as nice/interesting pictures are always good food for the eyes.
I saved loads of pictures of russian dolls when I was planning the ones I made.


I loved these knitted houses!


This is by someone called Ida Rentoul, I believe.
