In spite of all evidence to the contrary, I haven't actually dropped off the face of the earth, I just haven't been working on anything very post-worthy. I think I must have a short attention span, because I'm always jumping from one thing to the next, but I guess that's okay. Maybe someday I'll settle into my
thing, whatever that is. Currently I've had a desire to just work on some sketching, so I did something really hard for me - I started working in a new sketchbook, a really nice one which means I could never get myself to use it before. My cousin Suzi gave it to me, it's from France and is a great little size and has wonderful thick watercolor paper. Making that first mark in it was HARD, but I did it, and now I'm kind of on a a roll.
I've always wanted to be one of those people who work steadily in an honest to god sketchbook, so I'm going to try to keep up the habit, just drawing things I see, or doing drawing exercises like these first two pictures, random pieces of unrelated items, with the spaces just filled in with doodling etc. This is a good way for me to get more comfortable with watercolor too, which I love the look of but have never done much of.
