Sketches

Two random sketches. I started with the eyes and built off of that; with no idea what they would look like.  After the face was finished I decided how the hairstyle would be. And an Angel sketch inspired by a cloud formation. 

Thank You for visiting. 

Sketch from tonight

Sketch from yesterday morning while having Coffee.

Inspired by a cloud formation. I used my wooden
artist mannequin for a similar pose and added wings.

I have been doing the "icad- Index Card a Day" each day since it started. I  have been writing some poetry this week and started a new poetry blog from this one. In hopes to keep things more organized.  Below are photo and about what is going on there. :)

Have a Great Week Everyone... and Thank You for visiting my Blog. 

The work desk as it is now. : )
I use a piece of paper as a mat. I doodle, make notes, and use it to test
watercolors color before putting on the artwork.
I drink coffee and tea at my desk. You can see that. ; )
My Compose is there too a tool for measure and proportions.
I got new Water-soluble wax pastels. I like them. 

A sketch I drew while having coffee this morning.
The mandela is for the green prompt
for the index card a day - icad.
The pencil case shows my watercolor pencil and  new x-acto knife
 (the scissors are good but not good enough sometimes).
I use reading glasses for detailed work. 

Sketch I did last night. Inspired by a cloud formation i seen this last week.
I posed my wooden art  mannequin in the same position I remembered seeing.
Added wings and added my own details. 

Icad - Index Card a Day. Tag was the prompt for this one. 

Sketch I drew early in the week....

...drew again 2 days later and watercolored this one.

Inspire Me Monday 

I have been drawing "Characters". They have their own looks and expressions as real people do. It is fun to create them. I have thought as many people who draw have thought about making a childrens book or comic type art. This week (as always) I am inspired to develop new Characters. I am sharing a few I have made in this last few months. 

"Storytelling is ultimately a creative act of pattern recognition. Through characters, plot and setting, a writer creates places where previously invisible truths become visible. Or the storyteller posits a series of dots that the reader can connect".

Douglas Coupland

"I start drawing, and eventually the characters involve themselves in a situation. Then in the end, I go back and try to cut out most of the preachments".
