Zentangle Hiatus

I find it next to impossible to write about my artwork lately.  My personal touch is absent from my drawings as I just draw to relieve stress.  Case in point the pictured angels with a Zentangle, doodle or pattern.  These don't have significant meaning or purpose as I found myself meditating as I drew them.  

I feel the goal I have for them will have more meaning than the drawings themselves.  My hope is to sell them and offer a portion of the sales to a charitable cause.  What charitable cause has yet to be determined.  I just need some think time so that I can create more and find the right audience for these.  

I wish to share my process as this project evolves.  For now, enjoy the art.

Art is Life 30 Day Challenge

What's on the Table?

 Our salt grinder was on the table and I drew it quick.  I like the form and notice now some of my errors in drawing it.  Artists do tend to be self-critical though.

Buffy

 This drawing challenge was to draw a pet.  I don't have a pet but my parents have two cats and I drew one of them.  They call her Buffy.

William

 I had a close-up photo of my youngest and since my kids drive me, I felt it appropriate to draw one of them for the inspiration drawing, round two.

Recliner

 I don't sleep in this chair if I can help it but I do spend a ton of time resting in this chair.

Great Artists

Yes, they do Picasso.  You were a wise artist.

And more drawing challenge...

Liz, Mike, Will

This is the next selection of 5 drawings from my 30 day drawing challenge.  My accomplishments have been many but none have made more of an impact than becoming a mother to three beautiful children.  Ask any mother where they take pride and most will say, "With my kids."

Doodle

One of the 30 days was just a doodle day so I created the drawing above.  It kind of reminded me of a flower or plant when I finished it.  I tend to draw more organic shapes than geometric shapes.

The Walking Dead

I wouldn't say that I'm a huge fan of "The Walking Dead," but I do enjoy watching the show.  The real reason for me drawing this picture on favorite-tv-show day was an excuse to try my hand at drawing zombies.  Again, I wanted to play around with lettering.

Heros, RRR, Stache

I had to create a comic one day and even though I taught my students how to do storyboards, comics, and animation; I never really sat and drew my own.  I struggled with this and came up with the above.  I think it would look neat as CGI.

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

I was stuck for my favorite movie so I just went for my favorite movie title.  I thought that walking jeans would look interesting as a drawing.  Behold.  The above is my final product.
