So I tend to let my personal posting get piled up in a to do list and that results in posts with pieces I did 4 or 5 months ago. I plan to get caught up this week, so I could use the accountability if you don’t see me post anything soon after this. Just say, “Hey where’s the art you promised to show us?”
In an effort to save some money and also make gifts more personal, I often make my greeting cards for friends and their special occasions. It also can be a good way to get something I’ve been wanting to try artistically out of my system. Sketchy flowers have been a big trend for a while now, one that I really like actually. And this will end up being a versatile card I can pull for other occasions that I don’t have time to make a whole new card for. (Sorry if you see this and then end up getting this card for something, I’ll try not to do that!) Anyway this one was for my good friend Mariel’s college graduation (she graduated in December, so it would have been hard to find a grad card in the store that time of year anyway ;) Congratulations again Mariel! I’m very happy for her as she went to school to become an educator and has already secured work, way to go!
I drew the flowers in black pen and ink and colorized/arranged them digitally. :)
A few of my friends and I started a blog a long time ago called The Underlings. It has morphed and transformed a few times…I think we even scrapped the older posts and re-began after graduation last year. Anyways we have decided to simplify our “assignments” into monthly objects, word topics, and the news is always an open option for sketchbooking. So that we are not trying to take on a full on project whilst doing all of our regular work as well. So check out the link to see my friend’s sketches too. But here were my posts, I didn’t spend too much time on them though:
This is how Ray and I were dressed the first week of January when we visited Atlanta for Passion.
This is a shelf I drew in less than 5 minutes at the end of teaching 4′s and 5′s in church on Sunday. All the toys were being played with.
And this isn’t for the Underlings, it’s just my “purply” page. I’ve been really into my purple pen lately. Too bad the moleskine paper is so yellow, I’m just trying to use up an old book before buying a new one.
It always takes me forever to get around to scanning my sketchbook pages, but here’s a compilation of pages from this last semester at school, and a few from this summer. I need to get a new sketchbook to fill now…
