More sketches from sketchbook 1.
I love looking at other artists illustrations about what they wore on a random day. Here is one showing what my son wore this summer at swim meets. This really does not look like him. I wanted a more simplified version of him. Something cute. Meh. I like it anyway. I haven't used markers in years. Fun fun.
A mermaid I drew while at the pool. I used a brush pen to do the line work. I've decided I'm not a big fan of the brush pen.
Some random sketches. One trying to illustrate under lighting.
A color pencil drawing of my daughter pretending to be Batman. She's 2 but looks older here. Bunny is her sidekick.
While pregnant with both children I had a miserable time trying to sleep. I some how came across massage how-to videos. I would feel so relaxed watching them I would fall asleep in my chair. With my second pregnancy I found ASMR videos on youtube which are specifically for relaxing the viewer. I watch them every once in a while now to wind down at the end of a busy, noisy day. These are sketches I made while the videos were going. The women were all getting neck massages so sitting very still with eyes closed. They would move every now and then or the angle would change. It was easy drawing from life practice. I think I did a pretty good job of capturing likenesses. The color picture is marker. Just someone I drew from my imagination. I used a color scheme I found on design seeds. I love to do this activity now and then. A fun little challenge.
On the back of the right page I have a drawing of my daughter. I draw my kids a lot, so expect to see them often. I used a photo reference for this.
Here's another woman's face I drew out of my imagination using a design seeds color scheme. I think she's odd looking.
Malcom Reynolds. I drew this little sketch while watching him on t.v. I think its not bad considering he was walking around.
I really enjoy watching youtube when I have a quiet moment to myself. I watch a lot of artists videos. Here are a whole page of sketches I made of singers I've come across on youtube. I stopped the videos for these drawings. Just pencil on tan drawing paper.
This is the other side where I've sketched from LOTR movies. One of these sketches is not like the others though.
A mer family. I practice colors along the sides of the image.
I draw a lot of mermaids. Summer puts me in the mood. Practice boxes at the bottom.
I had great plans to draw lots of land and seascapes. Too much going on with my small children running around on the beach. This was all I did. I think I spent 2 minutes on this. Meh. I've done better.
