Holiday/Winter Sketches

Here are some images from my sketchbooks. First a wreath, done with Neocolor II. 

Next is a quick sketch of one of my Uggs. Well really, I call them Fuggs or Fake Uggs. I would rather spend the money on art supplies than the name brand.

 Last is another attempt at digital art on my Ipod touch. This on is done in Zen Brush. I look forward to working more on this medium.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all of my friends on EDM. I enjoy you so much, and I am very thankful for your friendship and encouragement.

EDM # 91--Draw an Apple

When you give an artist an apple, she has to paint it! I put housework aside yesterday to capture this apple. The scanner did some funny things to it, but I think it looks pretty good!

Some Sketches

I haven't posted in forever, but that doesn't mean I haven't been sketching. 

Here is my take on a Sunflower. This was done with my Pentel Pocket Brush Pen and Neocolor II crayons. 

Here is a Mother-in-law's tongue. This one is done with Microns and Watercolor. 

Mom--Post-It Note Fiction #1

A few weeks ago, I posted a link about something called Post-It Note Fiction. This is my first attempt. Its theme is a Mother, in honor of the holiday this weekend. Actually, that was just a happy accident! 

I typing the "short" story out in case you can't read my less-than-stellar handwriting.

MOM 

My mother believed there was nothing as vulgar as a tattoo. She passed away last year. I was sick with grief. I was so angry, I decided to get my own tattoo. I got a heart on my right hip. Now my mom visits my dreams to tell me how much she hates it. I don't mind, I am happy to see her.

EDM # 76--Draw Some Flowers

This is not my favorite sketch. It did not turn out like the picture in my head. I understand this happens, but it is frustrating. Especially since I really enjoyed painting it. 

I finally got a scanner. I am not sure I can recreate the steps to get another image onto blogger ;-) Please email me if the image is too large. I will try to fix it.

This is also my first attempt with Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Artists' Crayons. I think I will love them, after more practice.
