I finally bit the bullet and made a start on my first entry. I was feeling a bit anxious about doing it - partly feeling that I was not up to the job having not drawn anything in ages and partly questioning whether I had chosen the right theme.
I had a strong feeling to start the image with a pregnant woman, the rest evolved from there. It took me a little while to let go of the critic inside and just let the drawing flow, which is the approach I was hoping for.

So far I have worked in pencil only. I am going to add colour.
