This time on black Stonehenge. Love how bright the colours are on this, but after about 3 layers of pastel its really hard to get more on the paper. Which I find really odd since you can get so many layers of coloured pencils on the paper. Getting better with blending the pastels, and things go really quickly with them. This took less then an hour while I was watching Merlin. Don't really need to concentrate on the story (story, what story? :p) while watching so can still draw :) Drawn for the Monthly Sketch group. I might get a chance to work on the other picture but that all depends on if I get this and college homework done.

From this: To this: So much easier to take care of and it should also mean the vacuum will last longer because its not sucking up giant balls of hair :p Its shorter in the back, looks longer in the photo actually. I added another project to the monthly sketch blog . I thought there was just too much of a wait between projects and it gives people that might have missed the first project a chance at the second one. For this project the photo was provided by Chrissy . Decided to use coloured pencils, but its the ones that you can wet after if you like. I love them :) All the look of a watercolour, but half the work. Yes thats being lazy, but why spend lots of time on something if you don't have to? The pencils dry. Went down smooth, the lighter colours seemed to need a few extra layers to show up, but they all blended well together. (this is a photo) Copyright Jennifer Rose Phillip And the finished scan. Nice bright colours that blended well when wet but were easy to control. Next tim...

65/365 10.09.09 Originally uploaded by fuzzydragons My creative space is a simple still life set up for my 2D class. Need to have all kinds of shapes in it, and if possible something to do with our theme. So there will be a little dragon in it to go with the legends theme. No idea if it will get finished but at least its a start. And my creative space yesterday was finger painting :D :p ok not really it was expressive drawing and since I figured it looked like a 5 year old did the drawing, I might as well act the age and dipped my fingers into the ink and used them instead of a paintbrush :p Got ink everywhere, oops. This was the one that I drew in class (2D), but figured since I have a sewing machine pretty close to the one in class I would set up a simple drawing at home even if just for the practice. I didn't get this done last week, was having problems with my hand and getting the angles right on it. I do have a lot to write about how college is going right now, but will write...

I find drawing soothing. Even if its just a simple sketch. I can let my mind go blank and not have to worry about anything other then what colour to use next. Not all the time, but when there is a connection to what I am drawing, the day just flys by and I forget what was bugging me, of course when that happens no cleaning happens :p meh who needs clean dishes July Group Sketch #1 Copyright Jennifer Rose Phillip A quick little sketch for the sketch group . Hopefully people can read the writing, as my writing is pretty hard to read at the best of times lol For more Eye Spy check out here :)
