New Sketchbook!

Tuesday, May 17, 2011

I feel really good to be making progress after such a long time doing nothing. I’ve still been working on Every Day in May, having only skipped two days because the topics weren’t something I had access to (and I didn’t feel like drawing from a photo). One benefit of this project is that I’ve […]

Every Day in May

Sunday, May 8, 2011

I needed something to get me back into the swing of things, so I thought I would participate in Every Day in May this year. Granted, I started a few days late, and then it took me a few more days to scan the drawings, but I am all caught up now. I don’t think […]

Imaginary Landscapes

Thursday, March 31, 2011

Although I dislike when bloggers constantly apologize and make excuses, I do feel bad for not posting sooner. I haven’t been sick, per se, but I’ve certainly been feeling “sickly” for the past month or so. Even though I still have pretty much no energy, I decided that it was time that I try to […]

Katie in Profile

Thursday, March 3, 2011

This drawing is based on a photo where Katie is standing on the bow of the boat looking over the lake. It would make a really nice portrait done in colored pencil if I can convince myself to get started on it!

Sketching Habits

Monday, February 28, 2011

Today is the first time in over a week that I have sat down to do any sketching. I am taking full responsibility for my lapse, as I’ve done a terrible job with self discipline these days. Starting today, I hope I’ll be able to make the sketching habit stick again.

From my Sketchbook

Wednesday, February 16, 2011

I haven’t been using anything besides pencil in my sketchbooks lately. This is a forty minute sketch of a detail of a glass plade with its shadow.

(Re)vision

Sunday, February 13, 2011

I made this sketch last night while thinking about how nice it would be for the snow to start melting soon! Over the past few days, I have been doing some watercolor and colored pencil paintings, but I want to look them over some more before posting. Yesterday, I did some cleaning up of my […]

I’m not really a football person.

Monday, February 7, 2011

Last night I stopped paying attention after the first quarter and instead started sketching Zoe, a lovely black and white long haired cat.

Preliminary Thoughts

Saturday, February 5, 2011

Yesterday I was digging through my reference files to do some sketching and I pulled out a photo of some roses from 2009. I did some cropping and I made this sketch, which I am thinking of turning into a painting. However, I learned from my last painting that I should have at least two […]

Mini Rose Sketches

Wednesday, February 2, 2011

In the past few days sketching has taken a backseat as I’ve been concentrating more on filing paperwork and organizing my house. It is preferable for me to stay on top of things, especially during tax season, or else I will be too distracted to be creative. Today I am excited to get started on […]
