I’m not posting as often as I really want to. I’m going to try to change this. So here are some sketches I’ve done within the last few weeks. I finally got my scanner working. YAY!
This is a sketch of a wine bar my friend discovered. Lucky for me she was late showing up, so I got a chance to sketch a little bit. I really like the atmosphere of this place, I’ll most likely go back to sketch some more.
This statue piqued my interest at a pool party. I didn’t mean to be anti-social, but I had to sketch it. I really need to learn how to shade with my micron pens.
I made myself go sketch at the zoo. I wasn’t really in the mood, but I really really am trying to draw more. So I did not do to many drawing, but these are two of them. I really like how the koala came out. I used a conte pencil for the first time, much less messy then conte crayons.
Shading seems to be my biggest problem. I’m intimidated by it, I don’t do it because I tend to ruin drawings when I do instead of enchancing the subject. I’ll learn, but in order to do that I have to tackle it, not avoid it. So I think that will be my project for the rest of the month. Work on shading. Which means, I’m sorry to say, there’s going to be lots of bad drawings on this blog for awhile.
I like art supplies and drawing because I can create something beautiful even though I’m feeling ugly inside. I’m not at the moment, but I realized this as I was browsing the art store in a bad mood yesterday. I thought I would share, because this seemed very important to me. That I could create beauty when I couldn’t find any myself.
