I don't sketch much; definitely those "once-in-a-blue-moon" people. I guess there was a blue moon then. ;) Following in Chris' footsteps (and I can't seem to find his sketch to link to), I decided to sketch out two of the (hopefully three) sites that I plan to launch by September 1st.
I always have a hard time with Avalonstar. But I'm pretty set in my ways on what I'm out to do this time around. Content first, design after. The point of this redesign for me is to spark my desire to blog again. A lofty goal, considering how bad my current habits are. But if anything can help, I hope this can.
Sketches for public art commission at Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus (HiOA). Renderings of biological protein structures, created using JMol.
I have planned to sketch this space, full of Budleia, enclosed and up for development. I had no idea that this morning would bring the arrival of the Council and affiliate bods, so it was a quick dash for the essential kit. What was most interesting about the experience is the way the residents and the poeple from the council tended to keep themselves separate. One man from the group came up soon after I arrived and said " ...and what are you up to young lady" I chose to focus on" the young lady" as a compliment especially seeing as I will be fortyand in a couple of years and stated the obvious "sketching!" I offered a friendlier enquirer who is also a resident in the area a more comprehensive explanation as several people were quite baffled by my interest in this piece of wasteland " I like spaces that are about to change, and the opportunity to sketch the people who make that change are here, now! what an opportunity. Often we see places and then we see the changed place and accept it as if it always was. For me this space is a home to wildlife, the awesome expression of nature when left to itself. Soon this will be different and here are the people who will change that. I wished I was quicker and better at sketching them so I could get more of a likeness of them. One of the resendents was quite angry with them and related a tale about one of them leaving his wife for a young person in another city, living there with her for some time and then returning and placing himself up for re-election. He was clearly angry about this.
I think that other poeple telling me their stories when I am out sketching is one of the most wonderful and beautiful aspects of it. It is a very human, beautiful and necessary.

In case you were wondering how well Moleskine®s are bound… they are bound well.
This sketch kit is a Trader Joe's mint tin filled with Daniel Smith watercolor sticks. The mixing palette is attached to the lid with a rubberband. A nameplate ( a ruler could also be used) is attached to the tin with Velcro, and a binder clip attaches the nameplate to the edge of any sketchbook. For details on how I put this together, please see my blog: www.tina-koyama.blogspot.com/2012/06/portable-sketch-kit-...
This is my sketching stool. I got it for about $15 (costs like $19 now) from REI, and it's really really light, but very sturdy. I attached a camera-bag strap t it to carry it over my shoulder, it's a perfect and unobtrusive sketching companion. No longer must I sit on the dirty pavement. My only gripe is that I'm now quite high up and my paints are usually on the ground. But otherwise I love it.
If you're wondering, I wanted blue. They only had green in stock.
I’ve drawn this as an illustration to a new page on my site: Materials. Since I am so often asked what pens etc I use, I thought it would be nice to have a whole page showing what I use in my entire sketching experience, not just micron pens and cotman paints but my shoulder-bag and sketching stool. It’s not completely comprehensive however; I stopped short at revealing what I eat and what music I listen to while sketching.
This sketching was made when I was studying for my midterm examination ^^|||. Tee hee I think I should concentrate on my lessons more.
These are some small (2" x 1.5") polymer 'sketches' taking no longer than 10min to make (not including painting). Just filling in time waiting for stuff - paint to dry, sculpey to bake etc.
