“Dom” in the first sketch, is my nephew.

The chicken is yesterday’s page.

Un-cat-stitutional

Cleo is paying us a visit. She has been an indoor apartment cat since June. She’s ecstatic when she pays us a visit because she gets to stroll outside in the screened in patio. I sketched her in a few different poses, looking longingly out at the yard. The lizards are taunting her from the other side. She’s flicked her tail a few times because she’s not happy unless she’s killing something. The screens don’t even let her kill bugs.

Sketchbook & Sketches

| gnmelento

I recently made another sketchbook. I really love the cold press Fabriano Artistico watercolor paper so I buy it in bulk and make my own sketchbooks. I recently filled a Handbook sketchbook and didn’t have any other landscape format sketchbooks so instead of buying one, I made one.

The cover is a copy of two plein air paintings that I did in pastel.

I also made two pamphlet style sketchbooks using Strathmore 400 series drawing paper. I am saving those for International Fake Journal Month.

Lastly, a few sketches I did at breakfast this morning…..
