Me:
I just looked up and saw that I typed this instead of "telephone" on a letterhead ...
Tekeogibe
Can I go home now?
D:
You are amazing, are you sure that's not a real thing?
Me:
It SHOULD be. I'm going to make a shirt with that on it. And a drawing of whatever I decide a "tekeogibe" is.
D:
It sounds high tech.
Me:
Wait! Maybe that's "telephone" in Romulan. Or Vulcan. Or some other equally nerdy language. Sorry, "language".
D:
It sounds like something Miracle Max would say.
Me:
He distinctly said, "To blaaave" ...

You need to start answering our home phone, “Tekeogibe Industries”

Some Inspiration
I read this on the blog A Daring Adventure today and had to share, I thought it was a great quote.
I need to remind myself of the as often as possible!

Daily Sketching – Wrapping up, very late!
So despite the yawning gap in my posting, I did end up sketching all 30 days of November. Many were just "eh" and a few were very cute and fun. All in all, I'd consider it a success. Here are the last five dats.
November 26
Another sketch in bed. Wasn't sure what to draw, but looked at my bedside lamp (which does not look like this one, BTW) and went from there. (I was sketching with the book at an angle, like when you write, and everything is cattywompus when you turn the book straight. HA!)
November 27
I've been making scarves like crazy which is the inspiration for this. See, she even looks a bit crazy. Seriously, NOT my best attempt at a face...
November 28
Very end of the day, had taken a loaf of bread out of the oven a bit earlier and decided, what the hell. I'll draw the bread, and went from there...
November 29
Look away! She'll get you in your sleep. AAAHHHH. Ok, maybe a bit of an exaggeration, but she is rather creepy. I attempted a more "big eyed girl" approach to a face and failed miserably. Gah.
November 30
Throw a party - it's the last day of sketching!! Oh, and also my dad and youngest nieces' birthday.

Daily Sketching – Doodles and Legs
Thursday, 11/22
I was in my art room working out some creative frustration with a canvas I made a year ago. Never much liked it and started to really hate it, so I did the right thing. Scraped all the crap off and gessoed the hell out of it, slapping down some paper and copies of drawings to cover up the mess and create a base for something I'll love. Ah... so much better. ANYway, after I cleaned up my hands and was ready to head back downstairs to check on some Thanksgiving preparations, I grabbed a piece of charcoal sitting on the table and drew on the paper I keep on the table to protect it. About 60 seconds worth of furious sketching. I love charcoal.
Friday, 11/23
More doodling. Figured I'd do an "L" since I already did the "K."
Saturday & Sunday, 11/24 & 11/25
I think I mentioned before that I'm taking Jane Davenport's I Heart Drawing workshop. I fell WAY behind in the class, but am still plugging away a bit at a time. I need to work on hands and feet more, but I watched the arms and legs lessons and put them to use. I did the ballet legs on Saturday (that's a little wrap skirt on her) and then went all out and did the 50s beach girl I attempted earlier. The "skinny" version was more of a winging it attempt. This was much more deliberate. And she has legs. *wolf whistle* She's definitely more proportion than the first girl.

Daily Sketching – 11-19 thru 11-21
Monday, November 19
Sitting on the couch after a long day, needing to sketch but zero inspiration. Looked around and saw two candle holders. Sure, why not. So I sketched one. Turned out pretty cute, actually. Sometimes you just have to slog through!
Tuesday, November 20
Again, not sure what to draw, so I went to my Pinterest boards to find inspiration. Decided on a letter doodle. If you haven't tried doodling, I highly recommend it. It's a great warm up exercise and it's a really good way to let go. Let go of expectations, perfection, over-thinking. You just make marks, fill in with random shapes, have fun. It definitely helps me loosen up about drawing and just... let go.

I decided to draw a face with no idea what I wanted her to look like. Turns out she was sad. Aw, poor thing. Hey, sometimes you just have to be sad.

Daily Sketching – 50s Bathing Beauty, the Skinny version
After sketching this lovely retro-suited beauty, I decided I need to sketch a curvier version, so you'll be seeing that soon.
I used this image from Pinterest as my inspiration.
She is beach ready. I, however, have gotten a really good start on my winter "insulation". Oof.
