Hello, my name is Margaret Langston,
and I'm a doodle addict. Plus

My job is in front of a computer, at home. My passion is in front of a sketchbook, in the evenings. I have been drawing since I was very little, and have studied off and on. Drawing is my way of processing my life. I draw because I must!

I specialize in illustration.

Graphic Journal 012021 - Inauguration Day

Drawing Prompt Submission

I haven't posted for awhile. The only thing I seem to be able to do right now, besides boring traditional student work (does anyone really want to see endless figure studies? I think not) is this weird graphic Journal. It may be the only thing I do for awhile here.

A gift from my husband

I started a graphic journal as homework for a Domestika course. It's really helpful for me. Somehow, it frees me up.

Trying to Learn to Draw Landscapes, as opposed to Trees, as opposed to Clouds

1/3

I'm trying to come up with MY language that clearly communicates to everyone what I see outside. Landscape has always been the hardest for me.

Front yard

The woods in my backyard. This has been a shit year so far, don't cha think? I get a few minutes relief by looking into the dark spaces between sunlit trees. Trying to see the forms. I'm hoping to get better at just that this summer.

Same garage, different time of day

1/2

I'm just experimenting with some very old kohinoor woodless colored pencils. It's spring upstate. One is my husband's garage, one is a very sunny spring day on an ATV trail behind my house.

1/2

This is from daily practice. I'm trying to get better pencil control and find a language that describes what's in front of me in a few clean lines, so gesture practice is important for me

Just a quick color pencil sketch. I haven't done landscape in a while. It's nice to be outside.
