Well, once again it's been a long time since I've posted anything. It's been almost that long since I've done anything with art as well. I've done a few (very few) little sketches on the fly, but nothing to speak of. Today I sat down with a large sketchbook and my Micron pens and decided that I just had to jump in. Jump I did. I got an old Vanity Fair magazine from the bin, put on some good music, propped up the magazine and made myself comfortable. Since it's been so long, I thought I would give myself a good scare (I was already scared, but what the heck?) and use ink. The advantage, I thought, was that once the mark was on the paper, that was that. I wouldn't have to stress about trying to make it perfect because I knew with ink it wouldn't be possible anyway (well, not for me, that is). I drew the woman on the cover. I have no idea who she is, which was another advantage.
I didn't have a whole lot of time to do it .... another plus!, and I spent about 25 minutes on her. No need to point out the flaws - they're obvious, but I don't care. I'm just tickled that I actually did something and posted it! My aim for the new year is to post to my blog at least once a week. I'd also like to sketch something everyday..... no matter how tiny it might be!
Happy New Year to you all, and may your coming year be filled with many blessings!
