“So I decided to rework my drawings for this year’s Folktale Week as digital versions, thinking it makes a kind of storyboard. This is a collage of those images … or parts of them. The prompt words were: Home, Secret, Path, Smoke, Dark, Key and Crown. And I was so surprised that I seem to have told a story! I was tickled pink as you might say.”

“OK. You want to see some folktale week drawings?”
“This is Day 5 – DARK. Done with a fine technical pen.”
“Day 6 – KEY. Technical pen with collage and watercolour.”
“This is Day 7 – the final day of prompts – CROWN”. This is done with technical pen and collaged colour and watercolour.
I think this is all a bit creepy. Who on earth is that little man inside the crown?
“I finished Inktober… and I think I need to start a new challenge.” Everything’s a challenge. “Mum, I mean a drawing challenge.”
So what are you going to do then?
“Folktale Week … It runs from the 4th November to 10th with a daily prompt for an illustration.” What are the prompts?
“Mmmn … They are … Home – Secret – Path – Smoke – Darkness – Key – Crown.”
Gordon Bennett. You’d better get a move on then.
