The tarot project for Llewellyn does not leave me much time for personal work, but I have been doing daily sketches! For Christmas, Scott got me (and himself) the One Sketch A Day: A Visual Journal sketchbook, published by Chronicle Books. I have never been much of a sketcher. I’ve always had trouble just sitting down and drawing whatever comes to mind. I’m better at doodling when I have a purpose. But this sketchbook has been great, and I’m excited to actually have a full complete sketchbook at the end of the year! I don’t doodle from imagination in it as much as I would like, but I figure any kind of drawing is good drawing (and worthwhile practice). So here is a selection so far!
My friend Jimmy has a lovely dog named Artemis! Look at that face!
My friend Owen (http://www.oweber.com/) looking like a special agent at our wedding
Playing around with a medieval look.
My friend Sharon, from a ‘selfie’ she took
A two day sketch – Madmartigan from Willow – oh Val Kilmer!
DOBBY! ):
Top – Fox princess! Bottom – from photo of Norway we took on our trip there.
All but the bottom of these photos were taken for instagram (my username there is e.alba.art) hence the square shape and filter effect.
I usually work with pencil, but also use micron pens and ballpoint pens.
I love love love these! I think the dog is my favorite, but the fox princess is pretty fab too. Maybe I should have you doodle me
I love the picture of the your friends selfie. She looks like a strong character. I also like the picture of your friend Owen. That was very fun.
