::Lead & Pigments:: Sketchbook no. 2

 
Hello friends, 
Lately, since I've been home, and not working...I've made it a point to start sketching more. I've noticed over the years, it really helps keep your skills sharp, warms you up when you want to do something more serious, and really just makes me happy. Sketchbooks have been a huge part of my life since I was about 3. My father handed me art supplies at an incredibly young age, and I have yet to find something that hold my attention as well as art. 
I think this is going to be a continuing segment here on the blog. It's really been a pleasure sharing my sketchbook with you guys. I think I may have mentioned it before, but I'm so close to running out of my current sketchbook, and bought an awesome new purple one that I can't wait to start. A new sketchbook is super exciting for me. As lame sounding as that is....but, I never really know what I'm going to draw so it's open to a whole new world of possibility. 
But for today, I'm sharing with you a few of the most recent sketches I've done. This book has been really fun. I stopped putting rules on how I draw, and have become accustom to sketching in ink. Amanda always yells at me for sketching in pen, because she just doesn't understand how I do it. It's all about starting off light, and building up the lines as you sculpt out your figure. One of these days, I'll film myself doodling so you can see how I sketch. For now, enjoy these little doodles!!
