A sketch of my grandson Henry’s Japanese monsters his dad bright back from Japan last year. Weird monsters. They kept tipping over and Livis kept snatching them and moving them. A true exercise in determination! Henry wants them painted so I am sure that will happen soon!!

How about them dawgs?

Off On The road again. I think I am living out of my suitcase. Bet I am not going anywhere after The holidays but home to my bed.

A guy instead of the girl we usually draw. Joe. I don’t know why he had all the chains on or why the strange make up. Usually we have a Santa of one kind or another. Sometimes a naughty one. Sometimes I tired one. Sometimes a Santa with a good stiff drink – who could blame him?!

Anyway I do think this drawing turned out well.

First time his legs were too short. Oops.

And this pose well I just don’t know. And the chains. Hmm And the mask and he blood. Hmmmmm. The contest was too add some texture.

Thanks for looking Margaret xoxoxo

Has planned to go off sketching somewhere in Atlanta today but is was a cloudy foggy morning and somehow that never inspires me. Started watching the Tommy Kane Danny Gregory Sletchbookskool video and decided to draw Lucy dog who was nearby lounging away the day while I listened to the video. My cross hatching was a little scribble so decided to punch it up.

Two hours later this is what I have done! It’s only 5×8. I used my Lamy EF right side up and upside down in a stillman and birn alpha. I might add a watercolor background but I might not. We will see.

wish I had taken more pictures of it. This was before I darkened the chair line work and added some very light cross hatching to the rug.

Think it needs something in the right top corner. We shall see.

Here’s what I was drawing. Edited out the boxes of Christmas decorations since they are not usually there. And yes Lucy dog is still snoozing.

Ttyl the sun is out and I am hungry maybe drawing with some lunch.

Margaret xoxoxo who should do something with her wild curly hair first.

You knew that!!

Not sure how long we had to draw this sketch but our model joe brought an amazing assortment of things to draw besides himself and I tried to draw them all in this one. A King Kong a Socrates bust a rhino a bat man type figurine a shirt on his leg glasses a stool and a drink. And the contest. Add something threatening. I added the hairy vampire bug. Unlike the angel this one was not a winner lol.

King Kong and Socrates againa couple of ten minute sketches. Oops too short legs. Beer bottles were a big item on the stage. And candles.

One of me drawing I stole from dr Sketchys Facebook page. Thanks Amanda! I spilled my first martini so I had Chris give me another in a jar. Harder to spill.
