Will You?

An friend of mine wanted some clothes made by a seamstress. She was trying to illustrate what she wanted but was not happy with her drawings, so she asked me to illustrate the clothing for her. This is what I did.

Sunday Face: January 3

 During 2015 my life was so overloaded that I stopped sharing my Sunday Face which is just my notes from Worship Service and a picture of a face with what I was wearing that day. I'm going to attempt to put this back into my blog.
The current suit I was wearing is over 25 years. It is a Jos. A Bank suit given to me by a friend. That is what good quality clothing will do for you, it will last and stay current.

Sketchbook Moleskine: Just Draw

I am making a conscience effort not to pick up scrap paper but draw in my moleskine. Who knows how long this effort will last this time.

More Doodles

 I had a little time to squeeze in some quick doodles. Some I like, some could be better. My favorite is the one with the daisy for an eye the inspiration came from Anya Schultheiss on Flickr.

Sketchbook Fabriano: No longer a timed challenge

When life hits you some battles you can let go. I decided that it is not profitable for me to keep a time challenge on my Sketchbook Fabriano Gray-scale; I'm just going to go with the flow and focus on my real life challenges. So this is what I did today.

Sketchbook Fabriano Challenge #7 in Gray-scale

As usual you have great plans but life throws you a curve ball. I got off track because of life. I'm praying for God's mercy to see me through.
So I have to regroup and hopefully finish this challenge before June 30th.
Sometimes when you fall you have to get up and keep trying.

Sketchbook Fabriano Challenge #6 in Gray-scale

Nothing much to say, this is a drawing for my Gray-scale Fabriano Challenge. There is one brush pen that seems more purple than gray or black.

Gray-scale #3

I decided to try a few more drawings since I started my challenge late and not at the beginning of the month. I'm not thrilled about number 3, but I like #4 and #5.

My May Challenge: Fabriano Sketchbook

Fabriano Sketchbook

I woke up this morning and decided to challenge myself. I have this sketchbook I purchased from Blick Art Supply its a Fabriano Sketchbook made in Italy. It has 40 pages. My challenge is to complete 35 pages by the end of May. Let me add this disclaimer: I am not good with challenges. However this will be the first challenge that I put on my blog that is not from someone else. Also I only plan on using my Tombo Dual Brush Pens in Gray-scale Palette to color all illustrations. This is my first drawing

Sunday Sketchbook and Notes

Thanking God for all of his wonderful mercies he has show us. It was a good day. I like to keep my Sunday's simple. We went to worship service, came home, ate lunch, took a nap, watered my garden, went back to 6 o'clock service came home, ate a snack, watched a movie. Nothing fast pace or stressful. In my What to Wear illo I got tired of drawing so many small dots, so the dress looks more white than it should.

What to Wear

Sunday Face: April 26th

 Went to Bible Study and Worship Service. Had dinner with the Marshall's. They Have a fabulous house in the country. If I live in the country I could raise chickens like my grandparents and grow lots of vegetables.

Sunday Face: April 19th & What to Wear

There was a tornado warning during Morning Bible Class everyone had to go into the hallways.

Sunday Face: April 12th & What to Wear

Today was the Lord's Day. I pray that I can keep my eyes on him.

Sunday Face & What to Wear

Today is the Lord's Day. My family and I always go to Morning and Evening Service on Sundays. This is a page from my Sunday Journal Page. I was a little drowsy I must admit. I'm attempting to start my What to Wear illustrations, let' see how long I can last this time. I think once a week should be enough.

Paper 53: Journal Page

Drawn with Paper 53

I did this at my friend Cathey's house while she finished cooking dinner. It's her centerpiece.

Niece Portrait from Instagram

My niece lives in New York and teaches dance. I always admire her selfies and decided to draw one on my iPad using Paper 53. Some things are not perfect but that is why I practice.

Playing with Paper 53: In the Clinic

Waiting to see Principal

I really prefer to draw on paper, but it is always good to learn new things. I really want to get better using my iPad, Paper 53 and pencil. I did some quick in the clinic portraits (no face detail) then I tried to do some student portraits with facial detail.

Paper 53: In the Clinic

In the Clinic

 I admire everyone who have beautiful scenes before them to practice drawing or different settings. My setting is my office and when time allows I get to draw a student. This I drew on my iPad with paper 53. The second drawing is just something I did in my giant sketchbook. It's part of my letting go. No rhyme or reason just whatever and it doesn't have to be perfect or something I'm proud of.
