sketchbook

Today was a day to go crazy in my Moleskine and then continue it on my iPadPro. It was so much fun to just let my brain take me for a ride and was pure therapy on a day where a lot of crap was coming from many directions.

There’s a carnival going on inside my head.

Man, I’ve been random lately. I think my mind’s eye sees stuff that normal people don’t. That might make me abnormal. I’m kinda comfortable with that. Guess who’s going to be watching some Clint Eastwood tonight?

I've been fascinated by ravens for a few years now and doodle and paint them constantly. Here's the latest version ...

Cactus inspired watercolor washes in my sketchbook. Kept this one very lose to see what happens. Watercolor is always full of surprises.

I didn't have my sketchbook on me.

Some crazy Moleskine doodles for the day. I haven’t been doing enough of these and really need to kick my butt harder. Not sure why because it’s so dang enjoyable.

A few more pages from my DA sketchbook.

When in doubt, draw something analog.

I doodled the cover of this sketchbook almost 2 years ago, and I'm dying to give it a second shot! To be continued...

I came across these Sepia Fine Liners! Had so much fun experimenting with them. Looking forward to creating some more images with these.

This is part of a broader idea for a big busy city teeming with different characters. Some of those characters will travel deeper through this city and through different lands. Eventually they get back to where they started from.

TBT. Yes, time totally rots. And posting a throw back Thursday on a Wednesday evening is my meager attempt to mess with it.

To do list. I usually hate them but this one was kind of fun.

Doodles and notes I started at a regional NJ chapter of SCBWI conference this past weekend. Then just kept adding stuff to the page this week. I learned a lot and met some great people. Looking forward to June!

From my watercolor sketchbook. Can’t seem to get away from this floral motif these days!

A couple of winter tree drawings.
