Evening Whippet Sketching
Thursday, January 5, 2012
I did some multitasking one evening, alternating between reading, listening to the TV and sketching Ruben (whenever he changed position). I felt so productive.
Thursday, December 8, 2011
I’ve been posting to Pinterest for the past few months, whenever I find an interesting image that I want to save. Pinterest is a great site for finding online inspiration, and I love to browse through other people’s pins. If you use Pinterest, feel free to follow me, and leave a comment so I can […]
Procrastination and Productivity
Wednesday, October 19, 2011
This is a quick sketch of Katie from a few weeks ago. Katie has become my best buddy these days. I’ve been trying to do as much sketching and painting as possible recently because my due date is fast approaching. I am getting nervous and really excited! I’ve spent the last couple of days putting […]
Warming Up
Thursday, September 22, 2011
Sketching is such a nice “warm up” for the day. Whenever I sketch in the early mornings, I feel like the day is productive, no matter what I end up getting done. I sketched Katie the other day when she was still sleepy and feeling cuddly. In the mornings she loves to get pets and […]
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!
Back Home
Friday, November 26, 2010
I’m back at home after Thanksgiving and completely wiped out. I did do some sketching over the past few days but not as much as I would have liked. I feel like I got a cooking confidence boost yesterday though. My mom was sick so I cooked the whole Thanksgiving meal with Chris and my […]
Olivia in the Blankets, and drawing Whippets
Wednesday, October 27, 2010
I had another opportunity to draw Olivia, one of my favorite Whippets, this time in ink with watercolor and colored pencil. My first sketches from this past February were done from life in ballpoint pen. When I was making these sketches I was trying to practice and basically figure out how their heads were constructed. […]
Katie Update
Thursday, July 8, 2010
Sketching has not been high on my priority list this week, but here is a sketch I made while I was recouperating last week after my surgery. Katie was restless waiting by the door, and I like that I was able to capture her different positions as she shifted. She is doing well these days, except she […]
What can I do with a black pen?
Monday, May 31, 2010
I am trying something new, starting today. Lately, I have been feeling overwhelmed, and easily distracted. My sketchbook, a place supposed to be a well of inspiration, has become filled with disjointed, half finished sketches. I have become sloppy and have lost my concentration. I can’t seem to decide what or how to draw things […]
