It looks more like a wingless sparrow in my rendering, done from a photo.

  

Watercolor and marker in Arteza sketchbook. My granddaughter wanted me to sketch an outline of our dog, Marshall so she can color him. All ready!

I'm not so good at using my imagination when it comes to my art, but I enjoyed trying to draw Lina with my new art brushes!! I will need more practice to create serious artwork though!

The first day for Project365 is always tough. That fear to draw the first line. The questions - if I will ever finish it? or what to draw? (Not to mention I just finished this very same exercise last year...or yesterday.) But it needs to start somewhere otherwise it will never go anywhere.

Arteza colored pencils on Canson sketch paper, 9x12", 60 lbs.

 

I've read that one of the things they eat is small fish. This looks anything but.

Pied-billed grebes also eat large amounts of their own feathers. Maybe that's why you rarely see them flying :)

Number 15 for 52 in 2022 Challenge : You've been framed

Alcohol markers from Arteza.

When I first purchased these I didn't realise that all such markers fade rapidly in light. They are not designed for art use but for designers showing response to a brief.

However they are fun to use, but don't sell anything done with these, as the customer will be disappointed to gradually lose their purchase !

Sometime you just don't get a good answer. But who would have thought there are over 70 types of short pastas out there?!

Reflecting what have happened this week in The U.S.

I finally sketched a building, that is not work related.

 

This bakery store is now on my wish list to visit once this pandemic is over. Ms. Poilâne's MasterClass series and her life are quite inspiring.

Fiction. Dressed for the occasion, a young orchestra conductor bows to the audience, ready to do battle on the stage with her fellow musical warriors to the sounds of Wagner.

A close-up shot of my doodle after I took an online-class taught by Alfredo Caceres. Not a real architecture but let's dream a bit.

A bit behind on posting! Got more new brushes to try and brought back memory from a grade school.

Here are some sketches done with my Arteza pens! I wouldn't consider selling them, but it was fun to draw with no pressure on myself!!

2024. Arteza colored pencils on Comet Arts sketchpad. 14x17"

 

Twice a day I take a short walk to the row of maple trees. I wanted to draw them forever. Since my phone photos are always lacking, I used a photo by Pixabay:

Based on a photo by Andrew Marden, New Jersey, used with his kind permission.

The hardest thing about a-drawing-a-day for me is to finally a subject. So here is a rock I walk by everyday.

A great advice I found on the internet:

 

"Stop overthinking. Fill the page!"

I wouldn't normally share photos of presents, but I had to let you know what Tim bought me as an Easter present! Only a set of 48 coloured brush pens!! What a fun pressie!!

Two 22-year-old women on the news and testing my new toy (alcohol ink).

Sometimes I just have to paint my favorite dish to confirm I really like it.

Used Arteza and ink

Food is really everything - craft, culture, experiment (in my case), chemistry and survival! Better enjoy it!

True doodling for these three days. It was a busy week with work and 2-afternoon training.

A continuation from yesterday doodle to a realistic painting of flowers in seven different colors.

I just love the Sanders's mittens memes. People are so creative and funny.

Fiction. When she was much younger, Dyvarius Jackson, WILD 8's popular roving sports reporter, started taking martial arts classes on the weekends and after school, but never saw anyone in any martial arts magazines that looked like her.

 

Determined to change that, Dyvarius started producing and hosting her own Saturday morning show "Kickin' It with Dyvarius" with her younger students, including Chris, hoping to not only simulate an actual dojo experience for her young viewers, but to provide positive entertainment and suitable role models she couldn't find as a child.

 

Characters and series are inspired by my co-workers.

Finished on Monday, June 20.
