Today’s assignment in my Sketchbook Skool class is to draw moments of my day, comic style. So in the morning I pre-drew the boxes and filled them in as the day progressed. I started out using my brush pen but then switched out different pens over the course of the day. I think today I…
Plastic Bunny
I am taking another Sketchbool Skool class, called Polishing. To my delight, the first week is all about comics. I have read and loved comics my entire life and this week I fulfilled my lifelong dream of drawing one! (Caution, Critic’s voice ahead): I realize it’s not the best but damn. I really had a…
Blue hair
A self portrait I sketched yesterday.
Fun with a ballpoint pen
I had a really busy week and didn’t have much time in the evenings to sketch so I spent a little bit of time each night working on this ballpoint pen self portrait. My mom (who is an amazing artist) gave me me a quick tutorial on Facebook on how to draw faces so I…
A new pinhole camera
Yesterday was a great day because in the mail I received a new pinhole camera from my friend Todd, who 3D prints them. This is his newest design and I volunteered to run some film through it to test it out. I’m so excited to play with it! There will be some new adventures using…
Self & tea
Here are another couple of days worth of sketching in my Kraft paper notebook. I love to draw eyes with the ballpoint pen, but tend to lose interest once I get to the rest of the face. Maybe I should spend a few days working on the same portrait. I couldn’t think of anything else…
Art supplies
Still having fun with the kraft paper notebook! Here are a couple of days worth of quick sketches.
A little color
More camera sketching fun in my kraft paper notebook. Really enjoying drawing in this! Still trying to wrap my head around shadow and highlights but enjoying the process. I also wanted to see how this paper would do with watercolor so I added some background – something new for me.
My precious
Last night I decided I wanted to sketch my Yashica Mat. I also wanted to use my white pen and toned paper – something I’ve never tried before. Looking at shading and highlights is a new concept for me. I had fun!
Ballpoint fun
Three days in a row! I’m proud of myself. Today and tomorrow will be a challenge because I am busy all day and evening. I’ll have to carve out time to sketch. For yesterday’s sketch I used a ballpoint pen which is probably my favorite drawing instrument.
Adidas stripes
It seems I’m on a roll – two drawings in a row! This is good. I like the self portrait idea because faces are a challenge and mine is always readily available. And I think it will be fun to try different mediums. For this I used my Uniball Vision Fine and Dr Martin’s liquid…
