Think on these: Sketchbook #3

Sketchbook #3: Enjoying Friendship

There's nothing like enjoying friendship, especially when your friend accepts you as you are.
I've been drawing in my sketchbook I call number three. This is the first picture that I've shared in a while. In a previous post I mentioned completing sketchbooks, I'm still working on this one but Sketchbook #4 is completed, go figure.

Do you love me my sister?

Sisters, they share the same parents yet they are different. Sometimes they know each others secrets and are told not to tell their parents. They can experience the same moment, yet remember it differently.They can love and hate each other, yet will be there. How do you remember your sister?

Blue Girl Watercolor

I decided that since I did a boy in blue, that I should do a girl also.

Blue Boy Watercolor

Blue is one of my favorite colors, in fact Blue was my maiden last name. I decided to do a watercolor and keep it simple.

CED: Festive

My submission for Creative Everyday word of the month Festive. Sometimes I forget that my bulletin boards are creativeness.

My Flesh is as Grass

Today I went to Barnes and Noble, look through some of my favorite magazines, became inspired, became frustrated with myself, and practiced drawing. Then I went back to one of my old sketchbooks picked out a drawing that I was afraid to add color to and this is the result. I colored the leaves, dress, and face with markers, then scanned it, colored the background in Photoshop. I am pleased!

I Surrender

Sometimes you may feel like surrendering when life throws you some very hard blows, but don't surrender. God has the answers, but you have to go to his word, believe, and trust. Surrender only to God!

 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. Psalm 56:3

Sketchbook Sunday: April 6

 I must admit it but I was very drowsy doing Worship Service. I dislike it when I get like that. My illustration did not come out the way I planned it, so I cleaned it up. Can you see the difference?

Sketchbook Sunday

  Today was Friends & Family Day at the Church of Christ. A day of worship, fellowship and food. It was a great day. I  wore my gray dress with a black lace cover up, it is the same length as my dress. The sermon was very good, Are You in the Lord's Army? As you can see from my journal there were a lot of scriptural references, can you believe that I actually missed some of them.

Art Every Day Month: Faces of RLA - Day 5

This year the school where I work had a name change we are no longer a Middle School, but a Leadership Academy. We have more students, so I really don't get those moments of free time to draw faces. So I made myself sit down in my new studio/office and started drawing. How I miss drawing. I've also missed participating in Creative Everyday. Since I missed the first four days I am posting more than one illustration.

IF: Whisper

Let me whisper a secret in your ear. Remember the innocent days of secrets between friends. Whispers of like and dreams, who did what, what she said. This is my submission for Illustration Friday-Whisper.

Create Something - Post Something

I feel as though life won't let me off the treadmill. Everything is going so fast and I just don't have time. So tonight I jumped off and picked up my red watercolor. This is what I created. LADIES IN RED.

Where Have I Been?

Where have I been? Good Question! Summer came and took me away, but now I am back. As with most of my summers I think I will have all of this time for creativity since I have the summer off, but I was swept away into so many other things that I created nothing of beauty, a few things I did like but nothing to make me feel accomplished.
What I did do was buy myself a "One Sketch a Day" visual journal. I was not always faithful to it, but I did try. Here are some of the sketches I made.  I'm Not happy with the quality of paper. My colors bleed through.
