Sleepy

Seems like the only time I can keep my husband or my cats to be still long enough for me to sketch them is when they are asleep.

In this combined sketch, I got one of my rapidograph pens to work once again. I love sketching with these pens. I used them last seriously, when I was an art student at VCU back in 1978 and '79.

Self Portrait

I was minding the front desk at my office a couple of weeks ago while the secretary was at lunch. The front window over looking our lobby, has a reflective band on the lower half to discourage the clients from staring at the secretary while they are waiting. As a result, the secretary's side is also reflective. So I did this sketch of myself.

Old stuff

While looking back through an old sketchbook I found this. I'm pretty sure this is either from college or highschool so it's over 20 years old. The perspective is completely off but there are parts of it I really like.

This is a contour drawing for the most part, in which I put the pen down and did not lift it again until the entire sketch was finished.

Sketch

Went up to bed early the other day being tired. But found the window in our bedroom inviting a sketch.
