Sketches for a Week of No Internet

We were without our internet from good old AT&T for a week.  Amazing how much I missed it but how less hassled I felt.  I usually don't use my phone that much.  I don't like typing on it so I did not post sketches or do any "paperwork".  That was the big break but have to catch up now.  

Here are my sketches.  I forgot I had done a couple so they are all numbered wrong, I will just skip the numbers.

For Scavenger Hunt 202 - fabric and for Inktober - flimsy.  Sketched with a Micron 03 running out of ink in the Conda sketchbook.

Hunt - up high and Inktober - hero.  The wind blew over some trees the other night.  We hadn't even noticed that.  The tree trimmers were coming to work on the yard, just trimming and cleaning up a couple of other trees that were about to fall.  They had to work very high, tomorrow will be even higher.  So they are heroes to me for doing dangerous work that helps us.  In the Conda sketchbook about a page with the Micron 03 that is about out of ink which gives the fuzzy lines.

For Hunt 202 - pumpkin, some little ones at PT.  An orange one, a black one with glitter and then a glittery orange one.  The sign says "Today it hurts, Tomorrow it works"  In the Ohuhu Sketchbook with a Micron 03 
Hunt 202 lighthouse - substituted the windmill because I've never seen lighthouse around here.  The pig is cement I think.  Yard decorations a couple of streets over.  Watercolor added to the Micron 03.

Hunt 202 toy - a string or monkey ball that Gene and I play catch with.  In the Marker sketchbook with Pentel ink markers.  (for Inktober - toss)

Collection Sketch in Ink

I sketched a collection of items rescued from or after the big fire of 2011.  This is in the Conda sketchbook, large copy paper size of plain paper.  I sketched with a Pentel RSVP ballpoint pen.  It is interesting that it made the lines fuzzy, combination of paper and pen I suppose. 

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 202 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-202-oct-12-oct-25.9351/

Number 1 collection - some of the remnants that were rescued after the fire in 2011.  Cups, bowls, bottle, figurine, bell and rock.  (This will double for Inktober 11 as rescue - from the fire.)

I'm not sure why we kept these shreds of our life.  Do they keep the memories going?  Memories of life or the fire??  Hmmm.  It is interesting to see that most of the "survivors" are pottery.  It was fired before I imagine.  All this is pottery except the rock.  There was some iron or metal things left, like an iron skillet/dutch oven.  A couple of artworks made of railroad spikes are also around.  The mailbox is iron so it is out front.  You can search in the search box at the top of my page for Bastrop Fire and see more of the results.

Off for my respite day.  What will I sketch? Come back and find out.  Oh you can join in on the Scavenger Hunt.  I am hosting this Hunt.  See you there??? 

 

 

Sketches that Double for Hunting and Inktober

I did some sketches in the Conda sketchbook with a Micron 03 while Gene napped this morning.  I had to be quick just in case.  The two from life can double for the Scavenger Hunt and Inktober. The items for the Scavenger Hunt must be sketched from life so the pick-up doesn't fit the criteria.

Number 8 soft for the Hunt - rotten potato (Inktober 8 stinky) 
Inktober 9 ram - a Dodge Ram from a photo 
Number 7 curly for the Hunt - yarn on Evil Eye (Inktober 10 mystic)

Inktober 5 Ogre in the Ohuhu sketchbook with Ohuhu 0.3 and Inktense for color from photos.  5 minute sketch.

Number 6 for Inktober is "smack".  I have skipped that for the moment.
