Rocket! That’s more like it. Still borrowing ideas from other artists, however.

A 365 day art project… one drawing a day

Outpost??? You are kidding me. No ideas. So I went online and found a video game image. Ugh.
I like it, though.

Who doesn’t love a roly-poly???
I have four sisters, and one lives in another country. She has been visiting this month, so we decided to exchange our sister gifts (which we do with my mother as well, so six of us total) now while she is visiting, instead of waiting until Christmas. I sketched things on the front and back covers of a notebook for them, trying to find something that would interest them.
I did them so one side can be written in, and flip the book over, write in the other side… two notebooks in one! But… really it was because I did the first one upside down accidentally. It all worked out in the end.
For my mother, who loves birds (and these wrens really do sit like this!!):
For the sisters, by age (I’m youngest) She likes Emily Dickinson, so I just did quotes:
One loves roses:
One has starfish in her decor, and has an ice cream business:
One is a JMU fanatic, having graduated from there, will be moving to the mountains, and likes bluebirds:
I know it has seemed like I haven’t done much since “Inktober”, and I certainly haven’t posted often… but I wanted to show you that I had done SOMETHING artistic recently!
Inktober’s challenge completed in mid- November?? Well, I’m counting it. I didn’t complete the challenge as it was set forward, but I also don’t still have it hanging over my head, either unfinished, or worse: Â totally unattempted!
Day 26 Dark:

My dogs are extremely dark. Blacker than this sketch portrays them, for sure.
Day 28 Ride:

Wouldn’t it be fun if we could still have a nice safe plastic Big Wheel as our ride??
Day 29 Injured:

Day 30 Catch:

Day 31 Ripe:

Ta-daa! Done. Somehow I do feel BETTER.
Inktober Day 20: tread

I think I’ve run out of desire for creativity in prompt interpretation… at least I’m practicing pen skills!
Inktober Day 19: Sling

I found this to be THE most useful tool with my babies. Someone made it for me and gave it to me at my baby shower, and I used it daily!
Inktober Day 18: Misfit

Straight up copy of a moment in the movie.
Inktober day 17: ornament

(Hood ornament!)
Inktober day 16: Wild

From the movie poster for “Wild” … Not a fabulous representation of Reese Witherspoon, I know. But when I think back to where I was a year ago, I’m happy with my progress. 🙂
