I spent some time working in my sketchbook over the weekend. My sketchbooks are like a journal for me; I usually sketch from current events. This little page about NYC was one of 5 spreads I completed yesterday. This was illustrated by using Copic Multiliners in Sepia for the line work and Copic markers for color.
Last night I decided to digitize the Lady Liberty part of the spread. This was illustrated in Procreate on my 12” iPad Pro.
Hi Friends! It’s been another super busy week around here, so I’m sorry I haven’t checked in sooner. The weather in Oklahoma is legit cray too; it’s been two days of rain. Now that it’s cleared off, we are basically living in a wind tunnel now. We’re getting consistent gusts of 40-50 MPH and it’s just nutty!
I had some time to doodle in my sketchbook last night. Here’s what I made while watching The Order on Netflix (the show is pretty bad - I can’t recommend it).
I’m in the process of taking this into Procreate on my iPad Pro for a final/animated version, so I’m sure I’ll be back to share more about it soon! Hope your week is going swimmingly!
Pssst…me again…you can see the digital version here.
Here’s another super old drawing from my sketchbook. This was drawn ahead of Easter 2015.
This illustration is in my Pentalic Traveler sketchbook. It’s lined with a Copic fine liner with Copic markers and Winsor & Newton Promarkers.
In the spring of 2015, we put in a flower bed in front of our house. Since the front of our house was mostly shaded by a gigantic Oak tree, we were limited on what we could plant in the bed. We settled on mostly Hostas with a few other shade-lovin’ buddies mixed in.
The next spring, after a late snow, little green Hosta leaves started popping up through the mulch. I was thrilled. I was jazzed to see that some of our Hostas had survived the winter, but it also was the first sign that winter was ending and spring was coming soon.
No need to adjust your dial; I had bleached my hair and dyed it gray around the time of this illustration.
This little baby was drawn in my trusty Pentallic Traveler Sketchbook. It’s lined with a Prismacolor Fine Liner (it worked fine but it’s not my favorite) and painted with various shades of Copic markers. The background color is my favorite go-to shade for my sketchbook settings: Tea Green by Winsor Newton Promarkers.
