Back to Normal Sketches

By back to normal, I'm thinking of back to sketching with a pen in black and white.  Then I added the electric pink!  Not normal at all.


Number 5, tool of play - popsicle sticks  Number 6, tool of work - pens, pencils and brushes  Number 7, brilliant color - the hot pink pencil
Done with a Micron 02, Prismacolor green, and acrylic ink in hot pink



Number 8, stretchy - knee brace  Number 9, hot - chili oil , Tabasco and a New Mexico green chile.  And yes, green chile is with an e at the end.  It is a Spanish word, pronounced chee-lay. 

In the big coffee table book.  Making a little progress in that, right


The coffee table book is over half filled.  Whew!

You are making progress in the big book. It also seems that your sketches are pretty large, which is hard to tell on the blog. Very nice!

Bag Blog, Thank you so much. I am slowly but surely getting there. I made 4 sketches on a page or 2 sometimes. It is about the same time I decided to make small ones or one big one so now I just do what feels easiest. Most of the time I should do a pencil under drawing but I'm lazy and don't like do overs so just go with the flow and have lopsided sketches. Not too important in sketching, right? Or maybe accuracy makes better practice. Hmmmm????
