Daily Sketching – Flower Pots, Wine, Books

Catching up.

11/7 – Clay Pots (from an image on Pinterest)


11/8 – Wine Glass (mine!)


11/9 – Bookstore (again, an image from Pinterest)


And this is what I usually have to deal with when I take photos of my drawings:

XPost - Daily Sketching & Voting!

This is a cross-post from my art blog.

So I started drawing tonight, not sure what I was going to sketch. Dinner was on the stove - sausage and cabbage - and I thought, "Why not sketch a cabbage?" 

Why not, indeed. I didn't stop there. I added an onion, a bell pepper, squash and to mix it up a bit, a lemon. 

And THEN I though, "Um, Duh. Why don't you sketch something topical, like Oh I don't know, the election?!" So I did this.

I voted. I hope you did, too!

Daily Sketch - Bluebirds

A couple of bluebirds, sketched from a random image I found online.



BONUS SKETCH
Yesterday, after posting my dress sketch, I felt like drawing a bit more, and she emerged. Isn't she cute?

Daily Sketch - Dress on Form

Hey! I'm finally putting my Pinterest pins to use! Here's today's sketch, based on a dress I pinned just today.



Just a note. The sketchbook shown here is just a little 4"x6" book I can keep handy. I won't be using it for all of my daily sketching, but it's a great size to take anywhere.

Sketching

I've decided that I'm going to do a sketch a day for November. I know some use this month to write a novel, grow facial hair, or express gratitude each day. I have only fleetingly longed to scribe a novel, have no interest in encouraging my facial hair growth (even for a good cause), and really like the idea of practicing gratitude, but I thought I'd use it to push myself into the habit of sketching daily. No grand schemes for creating a masterpiece, just whatever strikes my fancy at the time.

Since I'm getting a late start posting (but have actually sketched on each of the three days so far comprising this month), I'll post all three today.

November 1: Holding On

Just a girl I felt like drawing, flowy dress and hair, just holding on.

November 2: Red Carpet

I drew her face and she seemed like a starlet, so I added the glamorous dress and little clutch. I love her "finger waved" hair.

November 3: Balloons!

I had an image on my fashion illustration inspiration board and finally decided to put it to use. So cute!
