| From a lesson with Carla Sonheim in Sketchbook Revival 2019 |
 |
| Fast and loose sketch with a lot of continuous lines |
 |
| Tried charcoal |
 |
| Based on the giraffe from LetsMakeArt.com |
 |
| Practice of leaves and lettering, all in pencil |
 |
| A bonus tag I decided not to put on Instagram |
Carla Sonheim is one of the sponsors this year for Sketchbook Revival. That is a 14 day freebie from Karen Abend, where you receive one or two lessons per day in an email. Carla's speciality is seeing imaginary creatures in lines. For this short exercise, she gave us a photograph of cracks in a sidewalk, and we watched her draw two creatures from those cracks. This is the first of mine. The base on the tag is acrylic paint, then I drew in fine lead graphite mechanical pencil, and colored in the bird with Tombow markers.
Some days the sketches make me happy, other days I put aside a journal as soon as it's completed because I think I have zero talent and I am wasting my time. This is my brain fighting me. I know that. Practice is essential. It will come again.
Next up: building an ark. Could someone please turn off the rain for just 3 or 4 days? Thanks.
Linda
