This is me drawing me waiting for a batch of bread to cool.  I tweaked the recipe and the dough rose beautifully twice, but in the oven it developed a big 'ol bubble in the middle and sort of baked into a sad blob shape.  Oh well...it still was good with a nice smear of butter and splash of balsamic vinegar on top.

This is me drawing me drawing me. Been on a navel-gazing bent lately with my sketching/journaling. Trying to artistically figure things out...

I used a Zebra Sasara ballpoint, Karin Brushmarker Pro, and a Daiso brush pen.

I was drawing from Ges Draw Party videos and decided to switch things up and draw the model as Copy Ninja Hatake Kakashi of the Sharingan, the Sixth Hokage of Konoha. :)

Ges Draw Party #177

I drew* these from Ges Draw Party #177 with a frayed Pigma brush pen that's running out of ink.  I'm on a mission to use up every pen I have so I can justify buying more at ASW's Teacher Appreciation Night later this week. :D

*P.S. I paused the video to draw the figure instead of using the timer.  It feel like I'm cheating when I do so but its hard to draw quickly when I have to pull my reading glasses up to draw and down to look up at reference.  I'm going to bite the big one and get bifocals when I get new glasses next year and hopefully that'll help me out with this drawing stufffffff.  Yay me -_-;

Me drawing students drawing...

I'm teaching Life Drawing this Fall semester so I have plenty of opportunities to practice sketching the figure.  Even though I have wonderful models, I do enjoy drawing the students the most!  I love the way they slouch on horses or in front of easels.  I also love sneaky drawing them when they aren't looking.  It's so much fun-bwahahaha!

Spent my day watching lots and lots and lots of online training videos and eating tons and tons of fiber.

Honse

I start teaching in a week so I've been prepping and flexing my art muscles by drawing* this magnificent honse! What a beauty! A+++

*Let's be honest...this is a procrastination sketch. I needed a break from typing up Syllabi and Schedules. :)
