More photoshop over a pencil sketch, with a tree bark texture and broken pen. Details are more manageable with the wonky pen; drawing long straight lines is a laughable task.

I’ve also been working on a new website look that looks more like the blog. Inevitably the blog will be seamless with the website.

Gouache and pencil sketchbook doodle.

This is a watercolor pencil sketch that I fleshed out in photoshop. The sketch was red, then I layered texture from a leaf (that’s how I got the “plasma”, didn’t draw that part at all!) It was a fun, easy process…now if only my tablet pen wasn’t dying and could draw a straight line!

This is a mixed media sketchbook page from last year, mainly with acrylic and scrap paper. It still needs some work, but this is where it stands after some photoshop polishing.

I’ve been spending the days in studio. After warming up with sketchbook pages I’ve started a papercut. Then after that I started to scan months worth of work. Now I’m even more behind in blog postings!

I had this fabulous dream that the park across the street where I grew up was full of these tiny little colorful groundcover flowers. I’m a sucker for the little gems hidden in lawns. While the evenings are cool enough I’m going out and taking my macro plant photos.
