A New Year

I filled an entire sketchbook with my daily drawings. I tried a Halloween-themed drawing-a-day project. I made the most of (forced) time away from my little office. Of course, I also slacked off quite a bit during the holiday.

Today marks my return to daily posting. This discarded and torn Chinese food takeout box is my first drawing of the new year. I am putting together the final details for my next daily project - which I hope to start soon. I have a lot of work ahead of me.

Inktober Day 3 - "Bait"

Old school pen and ink. I haven't used a crow quill pen since high school - and, even then, I remember struggling to get it to work. This time, I thought I would try to create something using only cross-hatching. The prompt word today is "bait". This word took me into a lot of different ideas, but the one I ultimately landed on is based on the will-o-wisp. In my head, I imagined glowing orbs in front of a copse of swamp trees all created with layers of cross-hatching. Things had to be scaled back a bit. There are still two trees in the background if you look hard enough. Success? Sort of. It forced me to use a different kind of pen and, in doing so, made me want to keep going and get better with it.

The World of the Small

Drawing and painting small objects is a lot of fun. There are a lot of details that one doesn't really pick up on when an object is viewed from afar. Small things, by virtue of their size, are always viewed this way. As far as the painting itself, it was fun to get some use out of my tiny brushes.
