So about a year ago I signed up for Alisa Burke's Doodle Delight class, thoroughly enjoyed it then abandoned the project. Drawning/sketching/doodling and me, we have a fraught history. I did discover a love of cross-hatching which I used all over these tentacles.
Maybe it's a summer thing* but I'm back, baby! I've picked up pen and ink again. I'm even adding watercolors. Ineptly, but I'm learning as I go. I think Mary Ann's Sketchbook and Sketchwars with her sister Carol have been percolating in my brain. Also, there's this embarassment of riches:
Have you seen The Art of Breakfast?? Fantastic. I've been drawing a (nearly) daily espresso cup sketch which I'll conquer one of these days.
Keys, shoes, waterbottles, etc. Whatever catches my interest. Perspective continues wonky, but I'm trying not to be overly critical. I may add lettering/journaling. I'm not very fast so tend to run out of steam after the drawing and coloring is done.
*It must be because I'm signed up for Alisa's Summer Sketch later this month. Perhaps I'll be able to carry on through the year...?
More great sketches! Keep it up, you'll love looking back on them, years from now.
