Sketches for #268 on iPad

I was sketching on the porch. No, I take that back. I was just sitting on the porch and decided I should get up off my keester, one of the words on the list, and do a sketch or two. I could not get the results I wanted for a quick sketch and put way too much time in this. Probably 30 - 40 minutes. It is with "Brushes" on my iPad.



Number 3, green - the trees and grass and Number 4, yellow, the many flowers.  I was just sketching the green and realized how many flowers were there.  At the moment there are so many of what I call Black Eyed Susans.  Very pretty.

I'm not sure if I will get to "keester".  There are only 3 days left and we have baseball and will be sitting with the grand-dogs.  Maybe a keester of one of the doggies.  We used to care for two, but now we will take care of Nala, Brandon's dog, too.  Should be very interesting.  We usually just close the door and go.  Now it will be taking out the dogs, fixing food, water, beds, etc.

Baseball is with Baylor.  It is the last of the regular season and the Baylor Bears have been on a roll.  They won the game last night 16 - 5.  I certainly am hoping for different results for today and tomorrow.  Hook 'em Horns!

Oh, I did this sketch the other day at the baseball game  on my iPad as I wasn't keeping score.

I like the iPad sketches. Keester - what a funny thing to have to draw.

Bag Blog, thanks. That is a good thing about the Hunts, drawing something you don't usually draw. I tend to just draw landscapes, which doesn't really help my skills. Making a drawing/sketch to look like something makes me think. : )

I like both sketches but especially like the pitcher!

Now...get off your keester! :-)

I admire your perseverance with the iPad sketches Jo - can't quite bring myself to push through the newness factor. And, I agree with Joanna, the pitcher is lovely!

Rose, Thank you. I spend so much time figuring out the apps that it takes forever to draw. I have been using "Brushes" for a few years on the iPhone so it is easier for me to use. I just don't do it enough to remember the neat tricks. Heh, heh.

The pitcher was in that stance as there were guys on base and I didn't finish, so when he came back out next inning, there was no one on base so he didn't stand like that. I hadn't got a good read on his legs. Sigh.....

I haven't sketched much at the baseball games because I have been keeping score on the iPad on iScore. Fun, too.
