You know the sort of thing, cut stuff off so it'll go faster in a straight line, we think of it as a bike for mooching about the lanes and streets on, feet forward, grin on your face, sit-up-and-beg - you can call it a 'Bobber' if you like... we call it 'Spud'.

I've been daydreaming about this set all week. Today I finally got down to sketch it and sort of figure out the pattern I will have to draft.

 

I love "Annie" the musical and the movie. It's a dear part of my childhood, and I think this set captures that. A sort of glamorous Annie.

 

I have to find something floaty for the skirt.

多年前信手畫嘅線稿,謹祝各位聖誕快樂。

 

A sketch drawn with improvisation years ago.

Merry Christmas for everyone. :-)

For the Urban Sketchers France group's "sketch hunt" (which is kind of like a scavenger hunt, but for sketches!)

This last mission: a regional speciality, a door, and something red.

So I drew the door of the Faculty of Medicine (founded 1289), with the two statues of illustrious surgeons (JP Barthez, and F. Lapeyronie). The specialty of the town in its old iron box: the grisettes of Montpellier, which are candies, like small black balls, made of licorise, honey and sugar whose use dates back to the Middle Ages… and some christmas red decorations encountered on my walk.

  

La Chasse aux croquis N°1 (avec 1 jour de retard, car pas de scan, et un sketch bof, bof…).

J'ai donc dessiné la porte de la Faculté de Médecine (fondée en 1289), avec les deux statues d'illustres chirurgiens (J.P. Barthez, et F. Lapeyronie). La spécialité de la ville dans sa vieille boite en fer : les grisettes de Montpellier, qui sont des bonbons en forme de petites billes noires dont la consommation remonte au Moyen Âge, à base de réglisse, miel et sucre….Et quelques décos de Noël (rouge) rencontrés au fil de ma ballade.

Not that much better. Those wheels are my main issue, methinks. Based of Raphy G's design.

A quick 10 minute sketch; pencil on paper.

Love the front of this building!

sketches and rough ideas for the monogram i did before opening vector editor.

I was looking on ffflickr for a good profile to draw and came across this one. Here is the original.

A little more abstracted this time.

Conte Crayon - A2

I sketched this weeks ago.

 

Her name would be Astrid and she's a swedish-like girl with deep pink hair, that i'm thinking of rerooting myself. I would be using my new CS as a base, and her scalp for the reroot.

 

These were just a few outfit sketches too that i'd like to try, but from my experience already, sewing doll clothes is not easy. try try try again.

For my JJL buddies:

 

When I saw my buddy Karen Blados's zentangle , I was instantly curious *and* inspired! After a quick internet search, this is what I discovered:

 

The Zentangle® art form and method was created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas. Zentangle® is a registered trademark of Zentangle, Inc. Learn more at zentangle.com.

 

From the website:

 

"What is Zentangle?

 

Zentangle is an easy to learn method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns. It is a fascinating new art form that is fun and relaxing. It increases focus and creativity. Zentangle provides artistic satisfaction and an increased sense of personal well being. Zentangle is enjoyed by a wide range of skills and ages and is used in many fields of interest.

 

We believe that life is an art form and that Zentangle is an elegant metaphor for deliberate artistry in life. Explore our web site and learn how you can use this wonderful and uplifting discovery."

 

There are lovely examples on their blog as well zentangle.blogspot.com/

 

I have to admit that I haven't taken a course or gone through the workbook and am just winging it after looking through the website. I love the idea of meditative doodling and it's been a very nice way to start the day. I'm a wee bit tempted to become a Certified Zentangle teacher or attend a Zentangle Master Class. [sigh]

See a few more that I've done at my Zentangle set .

 

After making it up as I went along, I found a Squidoo lens that explains how to make your own zentangle. Why don't you give it a try? ;-)

Thanks, Rosa, for inviting me to share this learning and winging it experience!~

 

/// I'm not sure think this counts as a Zentangle® anymore.

And, my quilts are more squared-up than this is. You'll have to take my used-to-be-an-engineer-but-still-a-little-obsessive word for it [ahem].

In flight sketch on the way to Israel

in October 2004, on our way to Australia, we stopped off for a couple of days in Fiji; this pair of images shows a view from the terrace of our room at a b&b in Nadi, the second largest city in Fiji; one view is a photo, the other is a pen & ink sketch from my sketchbook; they show virtually the same view, although the photo seems to have been taken while I was standing up, the sketch done while sitting down, so that the perspective is somewhat different
