Sketchbook Moleskine: Racoon Boy

Doodling in my moleskine. My new copic marker is a dud, it leaked out, so I had to turn him into Racoon Boy.

Sketchbook Moleskine: Draw Me!

Often I get request from students who come into the Clinic to "draw me!" Sometimes I think that the drawing does look like them but children often look at the picture and recognize who the student is that I've illustrated. This is one that I drew in my moleskine.

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.

Christmas Doodle

 I took a Moleskine to work today with the hopes that if I had in opportunity to doodle that I would pick it up instead of a piece of scrap paper. This is what I drew. I was able to make a little Christmas Doodle.             Here are a few of the previous sketches in it

Drawing in my Moleskine

I really don't know what I want to draw in this moleskine and I find myself being an impatient artist. I want beautiful illustrations with great detail but I'm impatient. Here are a few that I attempted.

I wanted to draw my beautiful lace gloves, but I ended up with this drawing of my hand.



We celebrated by dad's and stepmother's birthday at Pappadeux.



This is what I wore to birthday, although the J. Crew dress was a different blue. The hairdo was how my daughter wore her hair.



My husband had a Plymouth Valiant 1964 push button. It was a great 2nd car that only cost us $600 dollars. We had it for many years. It went to Texas and Colorado. However over the years it started to rust and it wasn't worth $30,000 for restoration.

Drawing in my Moleskine

Revisiting Danny Gregory's book Everyday Matters I decided to draw what was before me. Here are a few illustrations from moleskine. It is different views in our family room. I've only colored one using Photoshop for now I think I'll let them stay color free since I'm working on just drawing.

Sketchbook Friday and EDM: Scissors

I decided to draw in my moleskine I purchased a year ago, but put  away because I was dissatisfied with the quality of paper. I thought if I would buy the heavyweight paper that it could stand up to the copic markers, but it does not, I get bleed thru. I purchased some gelatos, no bleed through, but I still want to use my copic markers too.
  I drew my desk scissors, I keep my good scissors hidden away so that only I can use them. My children see these on my desk and grab them, instead of looking in the drawers.

CED: Sunday Night

I thought I turn my favorite TV show into frogs. Earl of Grantham: Earl Robert Crawley, Lady of Grantham: Countess Cora Crawley & Dowager Countess Violet Crawley.

 
 So I'm one of those Downton Abbey fans. A Masterpiece Classic that comes on Sunday's @ 9pm on PBS. It's the fictional story that follows the lives of an aristocratic family and servants during the reign of King George V. My husband says it's just a soap opera. I try to explain that its a little more than that, its a era in time that is so different from today, the period clothing, the acting, but I have to admit episode 6 was a little too over dramatic. At least I have some type of drama to watch. I don't watch much TV since they took off Law and Order: original, Criminal Intent, and LA. I'm not into the SVU episodes. I miss TV the way it use to be. One of my all time favorites was 30-something from the late 80's.

New Moleskine - Froggy Chronicles

Well I completed another moleskine and started on a new one. I started the Froggy Chronicles. I don't know if I'll fill my moleskine with just frogs. I hope they make you smile. I'm trying to let go.
