Fish Fish Fish

I hadn't drawn any fish in awhile so I thought I would fill a page in my sketchbook with them so that I did.

Llama

Yesterday I went to visit my Mom, while I was there we walked over to the neighbor's house to see their llamas. They have 4 or 5 black llamas who like to come up and sniff your nose. They are too cute. I took some pictures and when I got home I did a quick drawing. I used my PITT Artist Superfine Pen in my sketchbook for this drawing.

Old Sketches

I haven't drawn anything for a couple of days, sometimes things are just too hectic. I started scanning my old drawings this afternoon so I thought I would share this one with you. You can see a lot more of my old drawings on my flickr account. I drew this way back on 2/24/2005 when I was living in Phoenix, AZ. I was working in a data center and the job was very boring so I always brought a backpack full of stuff to occupy my time. We worked 12 hour days, that is a lot of time to fill! Most of the stuff that I took with me everyday I thought was important at the time but I no longer have most of it. It is amazing how quickly we go through material possessions and don't realize it. I still have the little Sanrio pouch, Koi Water Colors, Niji Waterbrush, Hello Kitty nail clippers, and some of the keys. I don't even have that bag anymore. I don't know what I was thinking using that sketchbook, the paper was horrible! Anyway, I don't really carry a bag these days but I think I am going to do a what's in my pockets drawing to see how times have changed. Feel free to join me in this. Draw what is in your bag or what is in your pockets, whichever is appropriate for you. You can post a link in the comments or comment on this drawing in my flickr account. I look forward to seeing your drawings!

Drawing 30 Rock

I drew this picture of Jack and Liz while watching 30 Rock on TV last Thursday. They were not easy to draw, they move around a lot on that show! The little guy in the corner is from a commercial. I used my PITT Artist Superfine Pen in my sketchbook for this drawing. 

Drawing The Sound of Ideas

I drew this while I was watching "The Sound of Ideas" I wasn't all that interested in the show but since it is a radio talk show that is on TV the people do not move around that much so they are a good drawing target. I think my favorite part about the drawing is the frame. This was drawn in my sketchbook with my Faber Castell Pitt Pen size S.

Drawing Greg playing guitar

I have so much trouble drawing Greg. I think I want the drawing to be really good so I over think it and try too hard. Do you ever do that? It is like I don't want to make him a cartoon but I do not have the skills to make him realistic. This drawing is on textured paper that I do not get along with very well using Derwent Inktense Watersoluble Ink Pencils and my Niji Waterbrush.

Daydreamer

Last night I had some time to play around so I drew this girl, the objects around her head are what she is thinking about. On one strand of her hair it says "Sorry I wasn't paying attention". I drew this with my PITT Artist Superfine Pen and used my Koi Water Colors and my Niji Waterbrush to paint it. It is available for sale in my etsy shop.
