Woof

One green horse finished. I haven't yet decided that my style loosening up due to college is a good thing or a bad thing. On the one hand I am a lot quicker, but on the other its really really scribbly :p

Blog friend Leslie sent me this drawing of Luka :D I love it, just need to find a frame now and hang it on the wall.

I am so glad its the weekend soon. Need to sleep in for a few hours and then get caught up on some drawing. Well thats the plan. Things seem to have the habit of changing....

    'Woof' just makes me think of Rik Mayall in Blackadder!!!

  2. I really love the horse! Especially the colour!

    I know what you mean about loosening up. I'm much quicker than I was a year ago, but that doesn't necessarily pay off in the type of art I do. Minute details are what my stuff is about. Hard to do quickly!

  4. I admire the more loose style for sketching and wish I could do it. Any tips? I have the same problem as Sandy...painting realism makes it hard to loosen up because I'm so used to getting down to nitty-gritty detail. That's why I started my quick sketchbook entries as I'm hoping they will help me to loosen up and not be so pedantic.

    Luca is gorgeous! I didn't know you had a dog? Or was he a family pet you once had? Maybe you mentioned him previously on your blog and I've forgotten...my mind is like a sieve at times.

  8. thanks cindy :)hubby had to look up a clip for me with rik mayall as i had no idea was funny lol

    sandy, thank you :) no it doesn't help with a realistic style. hmm needs to be a way to combine the 2

    thanks again leslie! :D *big hugs*

    serena, hmm timing myself helped get looser sketches. wouldn't spend more then 5 mins on complex things. means you have to focus on the most important things and only draw those lines. had a dog :( he is still alive but back in canada. hope to get another one once we have the time and money for one :)

  9. Loosening up is great. If you like the style, you can continue developing it, if not, it will at least help you speed things up. It's always good to stretch a little.

    ingrid, a stretch is helpful. i think i need to draw a few more pieces like this before I figure out if i like it or not :)
