I like Image 41, and I can't explain why. I just do.


Lips, Image 42, is rather strange but I included it anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Image 43 is an early practice. Can you find Peeping Peter?

Image 44 reminds me of my lovely sis-in-law. She has a shoe fetish, as well as being such a talented lady, that whenever I see this drawing I think of her. She has contributed a piece of artwork to this site.

Her name is Mary Lovein and she and her hubby have a wonderful website for anyone interested  in art. Both Mary and Matt are artists and live on the Big Island in Hawaii.

Image 45 is another early practice with lots of detail.

I drew Image 46, Junior, as a smaller version of the Sea Urchin, Image 22, because I liked the first so much and needed a smaller one.

 

 

 

 

Images 47 and 48 are both early practice.

Image 49 was drawn to have a generic heart on hand.























Sarah--I was so thrilled when she came to life. I wanted to try a reverse silhouette.

Image 52 is kind of overdone with the busy background, but at the time I was really into the engraving stroke and wanted to use it on everything.





The engraving stroke is a good one to use for zoning out.




Image 53 was an attempt at basket weaving. I would not have the the edge of the basket that way if I'd known in advance that I was going to end up with a basket. Unfortunately, I drew that squiggle first and went on from there.


There's something to be said for advanced planning and using pencil. However, drawing the weave was enjoyable and I plan on doing more of that stroke in the future--with a little "advanced planning."

Image 55 is obviously a piece of pottery. Here I was practicing stippling.


















The next five doodles are early ones I did in pencil before discovering the pens. I really like playing with shading in pencil--something that can't be done the same way with a pen. But, I got so tired of constantly having to re-draw and fix smudges.

In Image 58 I had given myself the challenge to use only straight lines. At least as straight as I could make them with using a ruler only part of the time.















I'm attached to Sylvester, my undersea turtle.

Image 60 is another early pencil experiement.



Little did I know when I first picked up a pencil in 2005 how my hobby would expand in such a variety of ways.
