a phone.


it has been wayyyy too long since i have posted anything. i am on a two week "staycation", and i thought i should start drawing again. it has been so sad that i have not drawn during the spring and summer; working full time does unfortunate things to your life. 

i picked up this lovely 24-count package of prismacolor markers. my bank account is hurting, but i am happy that i got them (on sale!). i need practice with them before i make anything decent, so i thought i'd give my faber castell pens a twirl. this picture is the result of 10 or 15 minutes of my time. i am quite pleased with the results! i shall be trying to do this kind of style more often, focusing on sketching instead of realism. realism is all very well and good, but i feel that i will learn more right now by sketching. 

i hope to have more pictures coming soon!

  1. How fun!! I love it.
    You are right. You can learn more from multiple sketches than from a highly detailed completed work.
    Thanks for sharing...I need to join you! Enjoy your staycation!
