When I finished up the sketch, a Festival key staff came to us. Chris politely
asked me to show my sketch. “Wow!” Chris and the staff exclaimed, which
surprised me (*I felt shy). I praised at his drawing with strong lines in black
and white. Chris’s drawing lines were amazing that I did not have. Kind Chris and
the staff praised at my fluid watercolour painting. Thank you. In this work, sunshine came through
from his back, which I wanted to play with. I hope it comes up! We have different styles that are fine.
I joined "The Mr Chicken and Old Tom Draw off with Leigh Hobbs," our superhero, the Australian Children's Laureate for 2016 –
2017. I wanted to see how he ran workshops. He was very sensitive and caring to approach children. Leigh kept telling to children,
"Each work is different, because we are
different,"
"There isn't a right answer (in art/drawing),"
"No one is the best. Each one is different."
They overlap my belief, the importance of uniqueness and
becoming who we are. Wonderful, Leigh. Of course, I drew Old Tom, but it was very busy to draw both Leigh and Tom at once! Children came to me after the
class to see my sketch. We enjoyed a chat. Nice! Always drawing brings me friends.
I’m working on the projects. I hope I will lead children and
adults to be who they are fully in my art class. I hope I will show what I am
fully in picture book illustration and fine art. May imagination and creativity will bloom out.
Friends, enjoy being who you are and Happy Painting!

You are fantastic Sadami and I am glad that Chris Riddell congratulated you on your drawing. You are very good and he recognized it! I also love your last drawing of the cat with the fish skeleton in his hand !!
A hug.
your sketches and your interactions with people are simply superb -- you will do a great job teaching children -especially since you know to teach how to discover things by themselves :)
