@radandhungry delivering from the USA. These notebooks just feel vintage. Reporter style flip with an almost leathery cover. Neat pockets that I’ll probably glue into larger notebooks for small notes. Some sweet pencils, including a jumbo!
Ever since I was a kid watching The Little Mermaid film and even reading the book, mermaids are fascinating. I don’t know why I didn’t try to draw them more.
I have so many sketchbooks and random sketches, that sometimes it’s just nice to take a look back. I’ll try to post and old sketch every Thursday 🙂
Another great kit from @radandhungry. I do have a previous France kit that came with a pretty folder/notebook cover that fits perfectly. Makes this kit a nice supply replenish. Love the texture of the mini notebook. Sepia tone paper works nicely with ink. Red pencil and chunky prism like pencil love!
I’ve forgotten how smudgy HB can be.
I finally submitted (on time no less!) my sketchbook from the project I signed up to do.
This was hard to complete for me. If I did have more time, I would’ve done more ink work and perhaps may have even used other colors. The most difficult part was keeping up with the idea I started with. Somehow I knew it would come out to a bunch of portraits. I wanted to add more text to each image but thinking of titles or headlines is the worst part.
I’m just glad that I feel like I completed something, especially so early in the new year. I’ll post an update when they post the scanned version. (Hopefully that blue pencil comes out.)
There’s a project out there that anyone can participate in called The Sketchbook Project. I haven’t been to the Art Library in person, but I thought the concept was a great idea. You get the sketchbook and it just looks so small and compact. Once I started drawing in it, I had this idea to draw on every single page, but I’m only a few pages through, so it feels daunting. I’ll just have to keep plugging along and we’ll see. I want to be able to submit it in time for the “tour” they take some of the books on. My only request is that they make a stop in DC.
Just sketching up some ideas. I always appreciated the retro future style. I’ve got some more ideas I need to put to paper.
Just a warm up sketch
People tend to say that eyes are pretty expressive when it comes to faces. Sometimes it’s good to just doodle elements like this on their own.
