Well, its been a while since I picked up an actual sketch pad and pencil. It seems lately all I do is computer vector art. Its great for income but it really makes me miss the feel of the actual drawing process. So finally, I get to relax and re-aquaint myself with my drawing tools. Here is just something I started last night and will continue today. Although there is no purpose for it, it puts me in that nice art zone that I so love to be in.
You know, it seems like every day I am thinking, dreaming, creating while living my life and I have to say, there is no better way to live. I enjoy and use every second of every day. I have been taking my sketchbook along with me to every appointment or errand I go on because every moment matters. I have found myself sketching mostly in Doctor offices since that has been my main taxi duty this early spring. If one of the kids aren’t sick my cat needs to go for shots. It is unbelievable how much sketching time I am able to pick up just waiting in rooms. Here is a little piece I sketched while waiting and thinking. I have another appointment to go to with someone tomorrow so I will have another for you then. Until then, let me know what you think of this guy. He kinda reminds me of all the thinking, dreaming, and creating while waiting I have been doing.
Although this isn’t a drawing, I had to put it up to show everyone. I went to the beach today with my little girls to search for sea glass only to find this adorable grey seal sunning herself on the beach. Isn’t she gorgeous!!! I love living in Rhode Island!
Hello. I am posting some of my digital art tonight. I sketched directly on my tablet computer and used photoshop to digitally paint the image. I had so much fun doing this and I look forward to many more like this. I have decided to go ahead and illustrate my current book with this style.
I once again apologize (although I don’t know why) for not posting. I have been diligently working on a project that once again I cannot post because it is confidential. Sucks for my blog but if it all works out, you will be seeing the work elsewhere!
Here’s my root man. Yes, he is great little guy who appears in the YA novel I have been writing every day! I seem to get lost when I write so I wanted to apologize. I know my goal was to upload a drawing every day but I am surely doing the best I can between writing and doing graphic design. I am going to work on this guy some more tonight as well as some other of my novel characters. I am in the process of creating character sheets and will be uploading them. Thanks for your patience and your interest!
I saw these shoes and I had to buy them which is VERY strange because if you know me, I don’t ever buy shoes or clothes. They just don’t matter to me. These shoes looked almost antique though and are a combination of a man and a woman’s shoe giving it a very unique look. I have only started this sketch and will be working on it further. I will upload the drawing as it transforms. I hope you enjoy the process as much as I do. I am also going to use this drawing as my edm challenge for last week.
Hello. I know , I know. The last post was the 10th but you need to believe me I have been working. ? There will be times when there is no art to put up and that is only because I am creating logos and other art for clients. Unless they let me know I can post it in my portfolio, I really shouldn’t use the art I sold to them. Its an ethical thing you know? Anyway, that is my excuse for my 7 day disappearance but tonight I am itching to get some of my own sketching done. I am heading to the couch right now with my sketchbook and will be sure to post before I go to bed… probably around 2am.
