Sunday Sketches - 08/31/14

I'm nearing the end of this composition book and the wear and use is really starting to show. The outside edge is sort of dingy and smudged with graphite. There are water splotches.

I have loved this book and lugged it around for a long time. But I will admit I am ready for a fresh new book.

In my Sunday Sketches I like to practice different types of lettering, but I always seem to go back to faces. This has been the story of my art since I was a child. It always comes back to faces. I LOVE drawing faces!!

I've been binge watching re-runs of Will and Grace so as I was watching yet another episode tonight, I decided to draw them. I kind of need to figure out how to make my figures look a bit happier, but in this instance it sort of works. They have that edgy NY attitude going on. :)

I finally got some studio time yesterday to do a quick drawing. Here she is...

Ink, Prisma marker, gesso

And here's where the inspiration came from. A beautiful picture from THIS book...

Newest Name Sign

This one was ordered for a newly married teacher and was done in her wedding colors.

As soon as I saw this ad for Benjamin Moore paint in my newest Country Living magazine I knew I had to turn the page upside down and put a face on it. I was hoping all the circles behind her would look like a cool hat or head wrap, but I'm not sure that comes across. But still, they make for a cool background and the colors are absolutely delicious.

Drawing done with Sharpies (black and colors), and gesso.
