I opened a book on my shelf and picked noun at random. I chose "eyes," which was the first noun I saw. I brainstormed everything I could think of related to eyes. My list of words was long, but then I got to "sad eyes," "puppy eyes" and then "eyes…

for this exercise, I took a book off my shelf entitled "Historical Whodunits"....I opened to a random page and looked for a noun: I found the words eyes, streets, cloak and demons. (This exercise is for a drawing, but I'm putting those words in my…

Exercise 11/30/09--Stimuli (Concept Development)
Often you want to be creative, but the old "What should I draw?" question comes to mind. Aside from checking this forum and doing one of the exercises or prompts, you can also look around your studio/bedroom/office for inspiration. EXERCISE: Open u…

Yep, I did it. I had a photo of a Nash metropolitan up on the screen and sketched it into my daily sketchbook. I think my pen and paper art looks very old style cartoony. I discovered I like the fine point sharpies in my little sketchbook MUCH bett…

This was not my "showing up" sketch, but I did do it in my little everyday sketchbook! I like Scott Kurtz's twitter background with one of his characters as the twitter fail whale. I thought I'd do the same for Witchy.

This is the sketch of Tina I did. When I scanned it in, I thought it was for 'Day 3' so it's misnamed. I'm keeping a tiny sketchbook just for the every day "show up" sketching.

This is one of the pics I drew on Day 1. The rest are stick-like figures.

Stimuli, Exercise 11/30/09

I opened a book on my shelf and picked noun at random. I chose "eyes," which was the first noun I saw.

I brainstormed everything I could think of related to eyes. My list of words was long, but then I got to "sad eyes," "puppy eyes" and then "eyes as big as saucers..." which described a dog in a fairytale I had in a book when I was a little kid.

I drew the dog for my daily sketch and my exercise this week:

Showing up, Day 6

Almost didn't make it today! So I made myself fill the little page of the little sketchbook. Can you see that a scholar has a desk in a tower room and that he's spilled some ink on his paper?



Tomorrow is the last day of my "showing up" challenge.. but I will continue to make daily sketches until the little sketchbook is filled.

Showing Up, Day 5

Yep, I did it. I had a photo of a Nash metropolitan up on the screen and sketched it into my daily sketchbook. I think my pen and paper art looks very old style cartoony.


I discovered I like the fine point sharpies in my little sketchbook MUCH better than ball point, which tends to skip on this rough paper.
