A collection of things from my sketchbooks, recent paintings and drawings, and the motivation to keep making new stuff so I have things to post.

May 17
Frustrated with watercolor, I decided to keep this one pen only. And anyway, it is drawn from an old black and white snapshot from the '40s or '50s... it almost doesn't seem right to add color that's not in the reference photo.
I loved going to Gramma's house as a kid. She seemed to have endless collections of extraordinarily fascinating stuff: globe pencil sharpeners, boxes and boxes of sparkly costume jewelry, a real working organ, a giant barn full of old things. All of which I was allowed to play with.

awww... what's wrong with the watercolor? Anyway, this is a nice sketch and sometimes black & white is just enough to do the job. And this is definitely a job well done! ^^
A very nice line sketch. I feel drawn right into Grandma's world.
