Looking thru my external hard drive the other day, I realized I’ve done quite a bit of drawing these past couple of years. If a fortune teller told me I’d like sketching some day, I would think she had me mistaken. Here’s a collage of my favorite blog posts and art pieces that I’ve done over the last 2 years. Some pieces were chosen because “at the time” it was a break through for me.
For those of you new to my blog, you may not have seen all of these images so I thought I’d share.
1. Senior Sketch- portrait sketch done of my daughter’s senior picture. If only I could replicate wavy hair.
2. Gnome with No Gname- he has since been named.
3. Who Says- Fun with color and script in a peacock sort of way.
4. Teen Lingo- My AbSoLuTe favorite post of all
5. Dancing in Pointe Shoes- I was surprised that I could sketch these
shoes……really!
6. Zelda Zany- just a fun zentangled bird to go with Zack, Zander and Zamora
7. Foot Fetish- one of my first contour drawings
8. Mural Drawing- done for the Sketchbook Project
9. Hippie Chick- I adore this birds outfit and really dig her purse.
10. Dance Line- lots of practice with contour drawing
11. Prep Pages- just a fun art journal page
12. Body-Mind-Spirit- done in 2009 for NaNoJouMo , where we were given a word prompt then we could draw anything we wanted from the prompt.
13. Artist’s Bird- here I talk about right brain vs. left brain thinking
14. Angel- recent Art Journal page
15. Rajasthani Dancer- a super fun figure to draw
16. Kokopelli Dancers- used stencils for these guys and slow-journaled between the figures

18. Jen the Gemini- trying to make my teen birds a little more appealing
19. Vogue- a word prompt for NaNoJouMo, one of my first drawn faces.

How wonderful to look back and see such an amazing body of work. i love it all, but your pencil sketches are truly amazing. and i completely understand what you mean about needing to draw from a photograph... it's a real challenge for me to get the dimension right on the page when i'm trying to draw from life. i aspire to be able to do what you do!
