This is actually just one sketch, photographed before and after the application of water.
I was quite happy with both versions but I think the second one is an improvement on the first, and it certainly didn't completely ruin it.

A sketch of a Belgian horse, Jake, at the "Home at Last Sanctuary" near here. Used watercolor pencils and waterbrush for this one.
Jake told me to do this sketch. He is a survivor from a Premarin mare.

Recovered from my initial embarrassment, I decided to scan both yesterday's and today's warm-up sketch of a kitten in a relaxed position.
What really threw me off yesterday (and still a bit today) is the extreme perspective in the reference photo. The kitten has its neck stretched, so we look at the chin and lower jaw from below, which we normally don't see, because a cat is so much smaller than us, humans.
There seems to be truth in the statement that you can't draw what you don't understand.
I could use a grid, which would make me mechanically "understand" this pose. However, I want to understand strange poses by observation only, and not using a drawing aid, like a grid, overlaid on a photo. It is the sole reason why artists do figure drawing. The human figure is hard to understand, but anyone can spot that you did it wrong. Only when an artist grasps the 3D shape of the human form intuitively, can he more easily grasp that of other 3D shapes.
Here's another squirrel sketch in pen and ink. I drew this last week as part of a "dry run" for a holiday project. Last week, I used the Brushes app on my iPad to create a little animation of a squirrel writing a "Happy Holidays" message in the snow. (Brushes captures a stroke-by-stroke video as you draw.) But before I started the digital drawing, I practiced drawing squirrels in pen and ink so that I could draw a squirrel quickly (for the sake of the animation). I spent about an hour making quick sketches. I liked three of them enough to keep. This is the squirrel peaking out from behind the tree. You can find the video posted here on Dec. 23, or just follow this link: www.flickr.com/photos/randiart/23308239774
A friend challenged me to live sketch the super bowl... Here's how it happened in real-time: kidethnic.tumblr.com/post/17140743516/i-drew-the-the-supe...
I am not all that great at sketching, alas.
But anyway, this is what I'm thinking about for cauchy09's sweater (for our quilt-sweater swap). C, tell me what you think!
The sweater itself will be mostly fairly plain (as per request). At the hem, garter ribbing, with columns of garter rib running up each side.
For the v-neck, I am thinking of either a garter-with-eyelets sort of thing (think of the look of the Giotto cuff I put on my socks, minus the picot...I can swatch it up to show you if you want), or a shawl-type collar from folded-over garter rib (like on my husband's sweater...same yarn and everything!).
For the cuffs, I am thinking either more garter rib, with taller columns in the center (to make a sort of angled cuff), or a repeat of the same garter/eyelet thing of the v-neck.
Basically the idea is to let garter (rather than purl) be the contrast to the stockinette, in some fashion.

Detail: Doubting Thomas.
Designed by James Hogan from sketches by John William Brown.
Made by James Powell & Sons, Whitefriars.
The original window by John William Brown was destroyed by enemy action in the Second World War.
The theme is the aftermath of the First World War, sacrifice and the risen life. The window shows Christ with his arms outstretched in welcome at the top. Below are scenes of acts of compassion.
James Humphries Hogan (1883-1948) studied art at the Westminster School of Arts, before learning about stained glass at the Central School of Arts & Crafts, and then under the tutelage of William Aikman at the Camberwell School of Arts & Crafts. From the age of 15, until his death, Hogan worked for James Powell & Sons, enjoying a fifty year career with this firm. Hogan started as an apprentice in 1898 and rose to become Chief Designer and Managing Director, and finally Chairman in 1946.
James Powell & Sons, situated on the site of the former Whitefriars monastery, between the Thames and Fleet Street, was producing mainly flint glass when it was bought in 1834 by James Powell, a London wine merchant. On his death the firm passed to his three sons Arthur, Nathaniel and James Cotton Powell, who in 1844 established a stained glass department. The latter benefitted from the scientific researches of Charles Winston, a lawyer by profession, who had dedicated himself to the study of medieval stained glass. It had made him aware of the shortcomings of the glass available to contemporary artists, this being often thin and garish in colour. In 1847 he encouraged experiments aimed at rediscovering the chemical components of medieval glass and persuaded the firm of James Powell & Sons to produce 'antique' glass to his recipes. It was mainly due to this collaboration that the firm was to become one of the most important studios and glass manufacturers of the Victorian period.
The historic Sacramento Railyards was our muse for this D+B sketch session! We got access to the site and specifically, the interior of the Paint Shop to sketch not only the historic elements, but adding in new architecture that could accompany it. Truth be told, we were so busy checking out all the great details in and around the buildings that most of us didn't actually draw anything!
I did this sketch while watching a concert from the early 80s with the good Dr., Etta James and Allen Toussaint. All gone now but their beautiful music lives on.
