Just a quick drawing

For some reason, I think it helps get the writing juices flowing to draw out a scene, so that I can better picture it in my mind. It's all done in pencil, and I'm no artist, but you're welcome to see it just the same ;)

Avengers Easter Eggs

If you're like me, you've got a list of family traditions a mile wide. I've been living thousands of miles away from my parents for the past six years, though, so this was the first time in a while I got to paint Easter eggs with them.

I forgot how much fun this is!

My family does Easter eggs all out. We're not just painting; we're creating works of art!

We get out the dye and put the separate colors in little mugs, and then we bring out the crayons and markers and colored pencils. . . .

And then, we get to work.

Here are two of the eggs I did this year. As you can see, we usually have "themed" eggs, and my baby sister requested that I do a superhero/Marvel thing with mine because of Age of Ultron coming out next month and also because of the collaboration I was telling y'all about a few posts back.

With that said, please enjoy these Crayola masterpieces. :D
