After hiatus in which I have been working on critters (all of which were awful and found their way to the trash) , I only have one to show. This is a lion haired woman at the airport that didn’t come out the way I wanted to her to because I was playing with me niece as well (which was WAY more important than a sketch of some crazy haird lady at the airport). It isn’t awful, but it isn’t up to my usual standards, and here it is:

There are sketches. And they are good ones. They are currently at my house where I am currently not. Thus, Sketchbook Friday is going to be extended to Saturday when I can upload the pictures. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Here is a quick turtle sketch I did. I really like it, though, so either it will get turned into a painting all on its own OR it will get incorportated into another painting. Either way it will get used again because I really am quite fond of it.
And B has a new piece up at deviantART here. It is done with watercolor pencil and is VERY nice.

Due to being in the hospital with family, sketchbook Friday has been postponed this week. If nothing is up by tomorrow, consider it canceled. Sorry but I am no where near my camera or my computer (as this is my mom’s that I am working from at the moment) and while I have my sketchbook, sketches have not been worked on as I have been preoccupied with hospital things for my grandmother. Sorry, art will be up as soon as possible.

And they are good ones. Enjoy!

Turns out that the technical problems I was having with the camera were, after conversing with my technical advisor (i.e. the Marmot, who owns the camera), operator error. I kind of figured that was what it would be. It seems that there is a little button by the view finder that you need to push because sometimes the monitor goes off. And the light doesn’t stay on like mine does, which gives the appearance that the batteries aren’t working. All fixed now, though.
So, without further ado, here are the sketches for the gargoyle picture that I am going to be starting today for B and Spacie. They got two sketches, and chose the top one as the one they want painted.
and a detail:
For those interested, these are done with mechanical pencil in my camel skin book.

It is Friday, and there are sketches, but the camera is not working (getting new batteries tomorrow to see if that fixes it), so there really isn’t anything to post, I just wanted to announce that I had not forgotten, and that I had done sketches.
Hopefully, camera will be functional by tomorrow for photos.

Yes, I know it is Saturday. B’s submission is late. He promises a better one later.
You’d think he could have at LEAST drawn on my arm right side up…
Here it is again:

Sketch book Fridays has gone on hiatus (along with the Friday quotes over on Little Weaver’s Home of Insanity. I will try to do better, I promise…) partially because busy and stress happened, and partially because I would forget it was Friday until 12 something at night, by which time, officially, it was Saturday.
So, I present for Sketch Book Friday:
Frankenheart!
Just because a heart is battered and scarred doesn’t mean that it is broken. Or that it isn’t still good. Sometimes you have to piece it back together and give it a little jolt. You may find it to be as good as new. You may find it to be even better. The capacity of a battered heart that has been lovingly stitched back together is monstrous in size, and, sadly, sometimes overlooked as it is sometimes timid afterwards.
I like the idea of a Frankenheart, but was kind of leery about doing it. Any time anyone puts up a battered heart, people automatically assume that they are heart-broken, or sad. I am neither. In fact, I am feeling actually pretty darn good at the moment.
That said, I don’t really like the way this one came out. For a sketch it is fine, and for a sketch I like it, but I want it to be more. I put red ink on a real band aid for the bled through effect, and it was much cooler before I stuck it on the heart. And I think that I should actually collage pieces of different things to make the heart instead of just using inks. And I think I should use a cloth band aid next time instead of the plastic ones that came in my car fist aid kit. So the next one will be on some paper that I have that is very similar to fabric (the type slips my mind at the moment) and I am going to use old sheet music and pages from books along with the ink and maybe even write words under the background wash to make it more…I dunno. Just more.
This one was done with Winsor and Newton inks, a band aid, and silver Basics acrylic paint for the bolts.

It’s Sketchbook Friday (my contribution is below) and B TURNED ME INTO A GARGOYLE!
SQUEEE! ::happysnoopydance::
Go here to check it.
I sat for that when he was here just last Friday. He even put the pocket critter in that I asked for. I love love LOVE it!
