• Current Sketches in my Art Journal

    Posted on August 18, 2011 by in Drawing

    I am joining in with a group of artists who are posting sketches in their sketchbooks. I use my art journal as my main location for all of my sketching/ drawing practice so I will begin sharing that under the category of Drawing.

    If you want to join me and the other artists it is free to join (although donations are appreciated). You can join by visiting Wild Precious and becoming a member. Then under groups request to join the WP Sketchbook Project group.

    Here are a handful of sketches currently in my journal. Many of them will turn into completed journal pages and some of them will eventually be the inspiration behind paintings.

    I do not sketch only in pencil. I sketch in pencil, pen, marker, ink (with brushes), watercolor and paint. I sketch most often while watching television or when waiting (in the car, in an office, anywhere I have to sit and wait for an extended period of time). I rarely set a specific time to just sit and sketch. I always have a bag of supplies with me for my art journal and when I don’t want to work on a specific page I tend to just draw on other pages. Some of those drawings will become art journal pages, some will be covered with paint or other things later on.

    The WP Sketchbook group will be prompt driven so hopefully I will be posting sketches of things other than just faces and flowers in the coming weeks.

    Happy Drawing!

    Hi Christy…met you tonight on fb over at the WP fb page…I so enjoyed our conversation…and I am enjoying checking out your blog, too. The sketches you show in this post – over pages of old books are exactly where my creative urges are leading me today…well, truly, my “mad scientist” muse is definately schizophrenic cause I have been led around the last few days hopping from crocheting like a madwoman, oogling all the journal pages like yours above and trying to decide where to start with mine, and I have this practically insane desire to make a fabric journal….But I am so flippin happy when I am creating! Well, have to get off here and go make art…thank you so much for sharing your art with us.-Becky
