Over a year ago when we were confined to avoid spreading a potentially deadly virus, I knew much of my photographic adventures would need to be curtailed. In similar time, something by Stephan Marjoram inspired me to fill a bit of time doing something creative. So I took up ink drawing. Just to see what I could do. And with zero photography projects in the queue, I wanted to fill this space with something. So here goes. I start out by aping M.Marjoram and, as you will later see, I take inspiration from many other sources.

Inspiration: 16 days to go
Result: Briar Rose
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Sakura Micron 005 in a Stillman & Birn Epsilon series sketchbook
Location: home
Note: ...in case you were wondering, 16 years of age is when the princess would prick her finger on a spindle.
....and a perfect example of why I am looking forward to this one year daily drawing project being completed. This is not a small doodle.I look at it and twitch... better for me to considered a preliminary working sketch because it's too big and too involved to be completed in a single sitting. I had things to do and places to be and was penned into a corner with my choice to draw this....
"IMPORTANT ART OBJECT - By Mori Sosen (1747-1821) - color on paper - Edo Period, 19th Century. / Sosen was a painter active in Osaka in the late Edo period (1603-1868). He created a unique style of depicting animals such as monkeys and deer based on close observation of these creatures. His depictions of the former became so famous that the phrase, "Sosen's monkeys," came into use. Around the age of 60, he changed his pseudonym slightly to reflect his devotion to painting animals." (Museum exhibit cards.)

Note: Had a great time with friends & family last night. Slept in. Danced just outside the reach of a whiskey soaked hangover and rewarded myself by struggling mightily with technology to set up the new wifi and husbands iPad,...and won. I also did my domestic diva thing around the house as I talked to my parents for a few hours on the phone before I finally sat down to do my drawing and really...just didn't have it in me to draw 8 hares. So there.

Inspiration: " Create a robot"...
Result: Close Encounter
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Sakura Micron 005 in a Stillman & Birn Epsilon series sketchbook
Location: home
Note: Casting about for what to draw today I came upon the weekly Art House Challenge at The Sketchbook Project. This week it was to 'create a robot'....this was the result.
You can find out more about this challenge here:
Have you ever had a colored pencil that you just love but can no longer find that particular color (for one reason or another) and you are down to the stub and rationing out its useage? Desperately holding onto that little bit that is left, just wishing you could extend its life just a wee bit longer....
Well, I stumbled upon General's "Pencil Extender"! It is marvelous! You just insert your little stub into the metal holder & use the crimp ring to secure it and voila! You have a manageable pencil again!
#108 of 365 Daily Drawings
Inspiration: Discovering the style exists outside of the Metaverse
Result: Cyber goth
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Sailor Desk Fountain pen Extra fine in a *Moleskine Folio journal ( 21 cm 30 cm / 8 1/4" x 11 1/4")
Location: Home
Note: Obviously I live under a rock because I was not aware that Cyber Goth was a style that existed outside of Second Life as in the real world. I think that is AWESOME! :D I had too much fun drawing this, except…
I am really annoyed with this paper. I took a moment to just erase a spot with no pencil lines and a yellowish coating comes off the paper in the eraser bits. It isn’t my imagination. This becomes a problem because this fine layer clogs up my pen nib and makes it skip while I am drawing. Bad form Moleskine :/
While Moleskines' plain cashier journals are a nice, light, flopping sketchbook for traveling their Folio series is a total bust for any real work. Who knew?

Dark Sweet Lady
Music & lyrics by George Harrison 1979
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My dark sweet lady
You really got to me
You gave me everything
I've really fallen.
You came and helped me through
When I'd let go
You came from out the blue
Never have known what I'd done without you.
My dark sweet lady
Your heart so close to mine
You shine so heavenly . . . and
I love you dearly.
