I finally did something for Illustration Friday. I got the sketch done and have been wanting to do some pen and ink, but once again I'm afraid I won't get this completed in time. I figured I had better just submit what I have done. At least it's one step closer than I've gotten in a long time. Maybe this weekend I can actually complete a piece. But for now, here is my drawing for "Stir"...
here are the sketches I began with. I'm just at a loss as to what kind of environment to place
my subject in.
I've been doing a few things lately. Still slowly working on my whale painting and doing some sketching. I went out on Sunday with my husband to spend some time outside enjoying the beautiful weather and decided to bring my sketchbook along. I thought it was finally time to attempt some life drawing again, it's been too long and something I've been thinking about doing for a while. After sketching for only about 15 minutes I realized just how long it's been and felt completely frustrated. I had no attention span for it and became so aggravated that it was so difficult and no one would stay still long enough. My sketches were horrible and I only lasted about 5 more minutes after that. I seriously need to get back in the habit of this again. I hope the next attempt will be a little better.
here's my sad attempt .....
I thought that I should also add some other sketches since I was already scanning stuff.
feeling like it's been a little forced lately, but I really have to put more effort in, no matter how tired I am after work :(
But on a lighter note, I did have a great time outside on Sunday, and my husband took some really great pictures at the Americana - where we like to hang out. Now that it's getting so nice out I hope to start spending more time there. I'll leave you with these pictures - and I hope you all have a wonderful week.
