Indulgently ironic #atozchallenge

We all have our different senses of humour. Don’t you love it when you meet and know someone who fully understands yours. It doesn’t happen often these days and I think I’ve somewhat lost some of my sense of humour over the years which is always a shame. I love irony and used to be very skilled at it, it needs to be practiced and shared carefully so not to offend.

I’ve no idea how I can sketch this without sketching people. Something I’ve realised is that I’m not skilled at sketching people, maybe I need more practice, this one’s going to be a huge challenge so bare with me and if it doesn’t look right to you then it wasn’t supposed to and what are you doing here anyway… See, I need more practice with my humour too.. Sketch done.. decided to focus on one of the couple in my show don’t tell and you know what.. I think I’ve drawn my first caricature!

So what if it doesn’t really illustrate the example. This AtoZ challenge is about the challenge and exploring new things and I’ve done that.

Those that overheard them talking could have assumed they were arguing. As she replied to his harsh sentences she was reading his body language, the smirks and looks he gave her spoke volumes.

Lynne’s AtoZ blogging challenge theme in case you couldn’t tell:

Linked to thoughts of emotions and behaviours, my theme is ‘I feel….’. Writers among you will be familiar with the phrase show don’t tell, for others it’s what every novelist tries to do. Authors want to show you the emotion and behaviour without telling you it. Trying to practice showing not telling, I have included an example in each post. I may have got it right, I may not have. Please let me know.
