time

SOC., an abbreviation of SOCIETY. My society is full of blood money, even everybody depends on it as the full-time achiever. A caption of "CONTROL YOU NOT!" shows to the society at large that they should not let it control their winsomeness

To help pass time and keep my creativity at the front of my brain, I keep a half sheet handy and challenge myself to fill the page with lines, shapes and shadows before the shift is over. Never a theme planned I let the pen take me on its own adventure. I’m just a passenger.

Sometimes I like to draw things in the reverse (filling in the light areas, leaving the dark areas bare) and then flip them to see how I did. Today's warmups turned out pretty well. My favorite is the kid on the top, whose head & hair echo the strawberry shape. I wish I'd distinguished the girl's legs from the dog's body on the left more, but overall, not bad.

Sometimes you draw stuff, and it's... fine, I guess. They can't all be winners.

Sometimes in life you've gotta draw a genie that's based on Lady GaGa. Don't blame me. Blame the inevitability of existence. This was ink and watercolor with a bit of assistance from Photoshop.

The part of us ruled by those mischievous little Angels. Selfishly cheerful. Beautifully naughty. Destructive in their creativity. Mostly lost in the rudiments of time. . . Unless you hold on tight.

Sometimes I like to take ink splats and try to figure out what they are. Could there possibly be anything better than "crab dab"?

Doodling my faces, this time on a piece of wood from a pallet. Re-cycling! Used watercolors and colored pencils, Carved out some spots to add dimension.

I´ve been meaning to draw a graphic novel for some time. I just can´t decide on the style. :) Or is it just procrastination?

Went to another city by train with lead time about 3 hours & sketched inside the train

Another throwback of doodle on starbuck cup. Done long time ago.

Watercolor illustration lined with pink pen. Borders created with washi tape.

Just a page trying to depict the rainforest and road. I got lost in trying to draw the vegetation. I felt frustrated about this drawing at the time, but now I like it.

Poster design for YARD SALE (2015). It seems ages ago that I made it but I still love it and would any time make more collage posters.

Ink and Watercolor sketch of octopus. Normally I start with a pencil outline, then go over it with micron pens. But I'm learning to skip the pencil step and just sketch with ink. I helps you not to overthink things. Once you lay the ink line down on the paper it's there to stay. You can't erase and there isn't an undo like you have when working digitally. You just have to work around any "mistakes" you make. I'm also working on sketching faster because I just don't have that much free time these days. Trying to produce a new sketch every day is a real challenge.

My first doodle @ doodle addicts. Found 5 - 15 minutes several times each day of 4 days...that's life for now. I'm far from complaining.

Time to retire it, it has been a good one.

"This time, there was no other reality." ~ A blackout poem from a recycled page of Dealing with Blue, a young adult romance.

What do you think?

Another old house, but this time experimenting with an unexpected palette

Tried drawing on my iPhone using Adobe Draw. Before, I kinda got frustrated with drawing on such a small screen but I had fun this time.

There's time when you scroll any-social-media-feeds and you found out a quote that motivate you. So, this is on of them that i found. A motivational quote from strong woman Jessica Lanyadoo

“If you want creative workers, give them enough time to play.” -John Cleese

A small version of the year of the dog drawing I posted some time ago.

First time posting, I love drawing pretty much anything, but new contemporary is my main thing,

A strange tentacled god that appears in my sketchbook dreams sometimes.

We wrapped up our trip with South of the Border, the schlockiest, most-borderline-offensive Mexican-themed South Carolina rest stop of all time. Then we hit Raleigh's art museum, and went home. The last few sketches of my sketchbook were me flipping through my photos and drawing a few favorite things I hadn't gotten to drawing yet. Thanks for traveling with me!

My adventures in Florida continue. While my husband recovers from Lyme Disease, we head on over to Universal Studios for Harry Potter time. Then we go to a skeleton museum and Ripley's Believe it or Not.
