Small Home SketchCrawl

Sunday, November 22, 2009

I went to the mall yesterday and did some Christmas shopping and some shopping from myself. Shopping is something that I don’t like to do so much as I find it exhausting and a little stressful. When I got home, I remembered that it was the 25th World Wide SketchCrawl and also the 5th anniversary […]

Video Game Sketching

Friday, November 6, 2009

It has been ages since I have tried sketching a portrait from life, so I took the opportunity to draw my boyfriend (twice) while he was playing video games last weekend. He was staying pretty still which was an advantage, and I was behind him so he didn’t even notice me drawing him for quite […]

Lulls

Wednesday, September 30, 2009

Life is one long process of getting tired. -Samuel Butler I’m sick at the moment, with a cold or the flu I’m not sure. Most days I haven’t been sketching at all, but on the days that I have been sketching, I haven’t been making anything presentable enough to post. Today I am sipping hot […]

Showing Up

Sunday, September 13, 2009

I had a full day yesterday, but sadly left drawing until the very end. Not wanting to put off drawing for the day, I decided to do some late night sketching before the clock struck twelve. I was wearing my “do rag” in my hair and my long sleeved flannel nightgown (the a/c was on). […]

Absent Without Official Leave

Thursday, August 13, 2009

I’m not going to apologize for neglecting this blog, because I’ve been paying attention to the rest of my life instead, and that is a good thing. Yesterday I was sitting with Papou in the hospital and he told me about the time that he went AWOL from basic training so he could visit Chattanooga, […]

I am Becoming an Underachiever

Friday, July 24, 2009

“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” Matthew 26:41 This verse describes my current situation, on a variety of fronts. Enough said. This is the only drawing I have made all week. I will be remaking this drawing at some later date, […]

Things that are In Progress

Friday, July 10, 2009

This is an unfinished sketch for something that I’m working on – a small taste for you. I have a general idea of where I will go with it. Below is a video of a José González song that I like. The animation is sort of trippy. It was also what I was listening to […]

In it for the Long Haul

Friday, July 3, 2009

I was recently reading this article which discusses two types of creative individuals. There are the “Conceptualists,” or artists who create their best and most innovative work early on in their careers. Afterwards, they often seem to burn out and fizzle, never matching their early success. The other group is made up of “Experimentalists.” These […]

Me on the Mid Year
