We're a little sketchy

2/13/2014

Just for fun. This is a sketch that makes me laugh. I drew it from memory of posing for a photo at my Mom and Dad's house on their deck in front of a tree. I was just trying to work out shapes and proportions. I was trying to work out traits recognizable. If you know us, maybe you can recognize my husband, son, and me….not flattering in the least of any of us. It's just a sketch, but something about it I like.

Showing this is my way of opening up and building confidence. Ordinarily, I'd NEVER show something like this to anyone. It is just a personal exercise. But I am realizing that I like drawing more when I don't have to be so exact and critical. I like the gestural quality of sketching. So, maybe I'll explore THAT direction. Come along for the journey!

Ann,

I think this sketch is very cool. It's amazing that you can go between media like that. Also, yes, from photos I've seen you can see the different characteristics of the three of you in this sketch!

Hi. I'm Ann.

Welcome to
My Drawing Board Blog.

This is where I post my current thoughts and ideas about the topics that resonate with me, and how I work them out as illustrations. This is my work in progress.

As an artist, I love to see the beauty in the world around me. I enjoy the play of color, patterns, and light. It is a challenge for me to try to capture the thoughts and images that inspire me.

Sometimes, I like to quickly scratch ideas on paper. Other times, I like to take my time and work through images with color.

Each day brings a new perspective. This blog is my opportunity to share my thoughts and drawing process with you.

Thank you for visiting.

Getting Creative About Functioning with LESS.

Creativity takes on many forms. Currently, I am on a journey to live with LESS and I am trying to Make <LESS> Work for me and my family.

Hopefully my goal will inspire my whole household to make conscious decisions about our home environment and what we REALLY need to own.

My personal goal is to eliminate clutter, and make our surroundings creatively functional and beautiful.

I am grateful to be able to share my thoughts, and illustrations with you.

We'll see where this journey takes me!
