Scarecrow and Cookies Sketches

The scarecrow was started at Gene's Oncology visit.  Digi takes so long for me - this about 2 hours.  I put down the main ideas and finished at home.   I could sketch with a pen in a few minutes and then add color in another few.  Oh, well, I sketched!!

 For Scavenger Hunt 203 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-203-oct-25-nov-6.9381/

Number 1 scarecrow - digi on iPhone with Brushes App.

Number 2 treat - gluten free peanut butter cookies in the Conda sketchbook, 1/3 page with Micron 03.  That poor pen is about out of ink and nib but keeps on going therefore, the fuzzy lines. 
Inktober 30 - cookie.  I'm not trying to do all the Inktober prompts.  They don't fit in the Scavenger Hunt and I don't have time to post them.  I could probably sketch them but like digital sketching, posting takes longer than sketching.

 
We have had beautiful weather with the doors open most of the day and with time on the porch.  The sunrises and sunsets have been lovely.  This is this morning.  We still need rain, but this is my favorite weather season.

Quiet and Flexible Sketch

Haven't had much time to sketch even having David here to help.  We did all sit on the porch the other day so I sketched in the Conda sketchbook while we visited.  This sketch with a Zig Millennium pen 05 is in the Conda Sketchbook, about 1/2 page.

The sketch will do double duty for the Hunt https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-202-oct-12-oct-25.9351/  and for Inktober.

This is in the back toward the dried up ponds.  For the Scavenger Hunt it is Item 5 quiet place and for Inktober it is for flex as the limbs are flexible.  I'm not trying to do the Inktober things in order.  Most would have to be from photos.  I prefer sketching from life and will crossover from the Hunts if the items fit somehow.

Today we are here, David and Larry with Gene while I catch up on some paperwork.  Joanna gets a little time off.  Beautiful weather with the doors open in the mornings and evenings.  Still pretty warm midday.  

 

 

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)
