Song

"Fly me to the moon And let me play among the stars"

I had this song running through my head when I drew this doodle a few years ago. Today I had a little fun with in Photoshop adding color and playing with some of the layer effects.

For Illustration Friday's theme "Song."

I think I'm starting to get my proportions down a little bit better.

I can see improvement from my first class in the middle of January to the image I posted at end of January to this one. Still have many weeks to go.

The X-Presidents

I'm supposed to be trying to sketch more people for my drawing class so today during my government class I did some multi-tasking. While watching a video on presidential power in which former presidents Nixon, Carter and Ford were interviewed, I tried sketching them. Fun huh? I lead an exciting life.

An Excercise in Futility

Here's a 14"x18" painting I just did based on and Illustration Friday I made called Escape. I tried creating a stencil to paint on the image and the word. It didn't quite work the way I planned. Acryllic doesn't really lend itself to stencil. Oh well. It was fun to do.

I'm going to try entering it into a show and if that doesnt' work I'm going to try selling it on Ebay.

Chair

For Illustration Friday.
I was in Barnes & Nobles last week and happened to see both an older gentleman sitting in a chair, reading a magazine and a baby wiggling his legs in his carrier.

Blind Countour First Friday - Insects

It's "The Fly!"

Glamour

Well it's already almost Thursday but I've managed to create a little "glamour" for Illustration Friday using Illustrator. I think eyes are glamourous.

On a side note...this happens to be the 100th post in my sketchbook. I think I've created more in the past year than I have in the past 10. It's good to be back.
