I was on a Zoom yesterday with an artists’ group that I belong to… We were invited to create something from a still life they posted. I allowed myself to think outside the box and this is what came from that still life. I used an 8 1/2 x 11 sketchbook that I bought fromContinue reading “When artists play…”

Friendly Faces Day 32
Today’s prompt is “pony tails.”
Friendly Face Day 31
Today’s prompt is librarian. Librarians are usually avid readers and I thought of drawing someone carrying books but then I thought someone reading a book would be better. I did use a Sktchy reference photo but I took a lot of artistic license; basically, I used the book and winged the rest.
Friendly Faces Day 30
Today’s prompt is sleepy eyes. I felt like going rogue today and not use a reference for my character. I just plopped gouache on the paper and started making a head shape and I sketched features with pencil. Slowly a winter elf emerged. I added the snowflakes at the end. I was thinking of theContinue reading “Friendly Faces Day 30”
Friendly Faces Day 29
Today’s prompt is “tall” so it seemed appropriate to use the giraffe reference photos that I took last week at the Brevard Zoo. The cool thing about this Zoo is that you can feed the giraffes.
Friendly Faces Day 22
Today’s prompt is “culture different from your own.”
Friendly Faces Day 19
Happy Memorial Day! Today’s prompt is Pet’s face. I was going to sketch Chloe and Mack together, but it’s a small sketchbook and I would have to squeeze both on a 5×5 page, so I opted to do Mack this time. I’ll do a Sketch of Chloe later. This is Mack just before his summerContinue reading “Friendly Faces Day 19”
Friendly Face Day 15
35 days to go! Today’s prompt is “excited.”
Friendly Face Day 11
Yep, I know I went backwards but there is no prompt for Sundays so I’ll use Sundays as make up days. This is the one I did Friday. The prompt is “long.” Inspiration for this photo came from the Sktchy App.
Friendly Face Day 12
Day 12? Yup. Day 11 is complete but I was too exhausted to post yesterday. John and I ran out to do a few errands and I had a mishap where I gave my rib cage a good accidental whack because of my flip flops, which pretty much fouled the rest of my day. IContinue reading “Friendly Face Day 12”
