It’s been a crazy summer that’s kept me from posting much, although I’ve kept fairly consistent drawing in my sketchbook. With a cross country move and taking our oldest child to college, we’ve burned about 4,500 miles on the road in the past month. After getting our son settled in his dorm yesterday, my husband and I have become official members of the Empty Nesters Club - giving inspiration to today’s sketchbook entry. • • • #sketch #sketching #sketchbook #sketchbookpage #sketchbookart #sketchaday #dailysketch #ink #penandink #pensketch #illustration #illustrator #watercolor #watercolorsketch #watercolorpainting #emptynesters #nest #birdnest

Hand drawn whimsical flowers in bright summer colors. Micron, watercolor with metallic accents

During the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, I'm inundated with flyers. A bit of a burden to some, but in my case they have their uses...

Inspired by a very drum and music heavy weekend that's just left us. Cracking times had by all I'd say!

Sharpie bouquet of warm summer flowers.

The leaves have grown so much you could barely see the house, as if it's hiding, as if it's not even there. I could only see bits and pieces of it out my kitchen window.

The madnesses conspired, and this was the result.

Taking some inspiration from Robert Louis Stevenson whilst throwing in a touch of my own madness too!

Working on Ned poses. Adding details. Practicing sketching.

Another song for dreams.

Another amalgam and older sister to Annie. Her ability is a giant mouth along her stomach line that can consume literally anything.

A little o' this, a little o' that. All on 8.5X11 heavy white card stock. Some colored pencil. Using photoshop only to render contrast, no other manipulation.

Spent some time camping this summer. A few of the sketches I made.
