A Look Inside My Sketchbook
Hi there. How are you?
Summers are busy around here, and I haven't had much time to work in my studio lately. If I don't get my art fix, I get pretty crabby, so I've had to make away from my studio.
I've been channeling all of my creativity into my sketchbook, which comes with me everywhere I go.
Care to have a look inside?
A stars & stripes themed sketchbook drawing that I finished on the 4th of July.
Stars & Stripes Forever
Stripes have been popping up in my sketches lately. I like the way they play against the organic forms that I naturally draw.
The finished version of a sketch that I started and abandoned earlier this year.
Months in the Making
I started and abandoned this drawing months ago. (See the earlier version HERE.) After a lovely fan left an encouraging comment on my blog, I decided to finish it up. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, and my fan was too. (She bought a print! Thanks Lisa!)
A ballpoint sketch in an elegant emerald green.
An Elegant Emerald
I'm usually really drawn to the yellow-green pen my set of 8 Bic Crystals, but this emerald green was calling to me. There's a real elegance to this color that I'm totally digging right now. You'll probably see more in this color soon.
Adding a little pop of pink really brought this sketchbook drawing to life.
A Pop of Pink
I decided to use pink sparingly in this composition. I like how it adds a little variety to the composition, instead of it being the same all over.
I'm planning on designing a 2018 calendar and you'll most likely see some of these sketches as backdrops for the pages. Stay tuned my friends.
Want a Print Made?
