This afternoon I finished up the final page and cover of my Sketchbook Project sketchbook. It feels so good to have it all finished and sent in!
I’ve edited and uploaded a few of the pages to flickr. In the interest of finishing up this series of posts, this will be a longer post than previous ones, but there will still be two more posts coming before I wrap it up.
This drawing was based on a previous sketch that I shared in the video I made back in November (around 3:47 in the video if you’re curious). I was surprised by how different this looked once the color and texture was added.
I created with the help of one of my dad’s old compasses.
I snagged this idea from an old abstract sketch of pine branches that pre-dates my current art-only flickr account. I arranged it a little differently, so hopefully it’s not cheating too much.
This drawing was also borrowed from a sketch I’d done previously. I changed the arrangement of the shapes and the colors.
This was inspired by a photo I saw somewhere along the line of a building with red windows against a stone wall. The drawing itself changed a lot from the photo, and now I see all kinds of things in the drawing from turtle shells to houses.
I used the help of a compass to draw the circles and then added in the line and grid detail to create this very structural looking drawing.
I didn’t have much direction with this drawing. It started with one of the fan shapes and evolved from there. I like to think of it as the ceiling of a big outdoor tent structure.
This drawing has a Native American flavor, similar to the dream catcher drawing that is also in this sketchbook. I like the directional feel of this one.
So that’s it for this batch. I’ll be adding one more post that shares the scanned pages and a conclusion post that will feature a video of the finished sketchbook as well as photos of some of the drawing tools I used.
Fantastic! I’m really loving the structural circle one.
Congrats on finishing and mailing it in!
thanks Jacilyn! it really feels good to have it on its way!
Oh man! Your lines are so crispy! I love it. What a delightful exploration. Good form! Well done!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you like it. 🙂
