A drawing of Sky from 2011. I need to use graphite more, forget how I much I like using graphite. And yes she usually does look that happy and excited lol

Two types of Robins for todays left handed sketches. A European Robin, tiny and angry at everything but so cute you just laugh at the grumpy little things, (unless you are getting dive bombed by one and then you wish you had a giant flyswatter). For Sale And an American Robin, much bigger and I find not as angry as their tiny relatives. For Sale

Drew this in the waiting room at the dentist while I waited for the blood from a pulled tooth to stop. It did sort of stop, no major bleeding, just a big hole in my jaw lol I went home at lunch on Tuesday from uni as my jaw was aching. Yesterday was spent feeling like I was being punched in the face, so phoned the dentist today to get seen, since I didn't sleep and couldn't eat. Long story short, the molar top left had to go. Cracked right threw and an exposed nerve, so thats why it hurt so much. The tooth had 3 roots, was odd to see since they were pretty big. But it is gone now, so no more throbbing pain, just pain from the hole in my jaw. 6 teeth pulled, 10 if you count the wisdom teeth. My usual dentist, (who really really knows his stuff), is on holiday so I saw his boss since I have limited mouth opening due to the jaw surgery. He did a great job getting the tooth out, took no time at all. And I have Friday off from uni now, told me not to go, just sleep lol

An ice cream scoop I always forget we have so end up stabbing the ice cream with a spoon which results in a lot of bent spoons lol

We drink a lot of pop or soda depending on what you call it. Its sugar free so isn't that bad lol

I was in a bit of pain with my toe/foot on the weekend so took a break from drawing. Probably wont be the first time nor the last but the 365 challenge is just really to make sure I keep in the habit of sketching more than once a week :) Above is an odd little cat and what was supposed to be a candle in the shape of a witches hat, but just looks odd. And 3 chest pieces catch me up in the challenge. I keep hitting my toe/foot on things, so obs not healing and very sore to walk anywhere without wincing.Just have to make sure I don't drop anything on it.

A candle snuffer shaped like a flower bell. I actually bought this in Canada, probably 15 years ago. It had a base, but that is long gone :p

A retractable scalpel blade, very very sharp, I don't use it or there would be blood everywhere after and there are not enough band aids in the house to help :p

A plastic Aardvark, I have two actually. They were for an online project, but I never did anything with them. Every time I see them, I keep thinking I should modify them somehow. Turn one into a Highland cow mash up and the other into a Beaver mash up.

I thought it was apt that todays sketch is a tube of toothpaste since I had a dentist appointment today. Of course, we get in the car, John turns the key and then nothing...genius lol. Quick battery change (very quick, haven't see him move that fast in awhile), and then to the dentist. He managed to get the tooth out, took longer for the anesthetic to kick in then for him to pull the tooth. Was very quick, and broke in half when he took it out. I have really long roots but he managed to get those out too. I say it all the time, but I do finally have a very good dentist and I will cry if he retires or moves away. I will follow him lol, well unless its down south. Thats a bit far :p And back on next Thursday to fix the tooth he was originally supposed to fix before the removed one got infected. Brush your teeth people! and no candy :p (my downfall)

A quick sketch of some beach pebbles. After drawing these, I wish I had of used coloured ink pens instead of just black pen. Might start doing that in the future for some of the sketches.

The colours really changed when I wet the Graphitints, and it was very hard to keep the darker colours from bleeding into the lighter ones. I do wish there were more colours, since the colour selection is great for natural objects, but not so much for anything else. The pencils were easy to blend when dry and layered well. I am going to try another drawing with them, since I liked them enough to keep seeing the best way to use them. The only complaint about the pencils is the lack of colours.

The horse is pretty much done, now to finish the tack.

I forgot about Every Day in May , but since I am pretty much done Uni for now, trying to draw something small every day will give me something to do when bored with the bigger pieces.

Jeanette made a blog post before Xmas asking for people to draw some ears if they wanted to and had the time. Its a good little drawing exercise and unless you are focusing on specific body parts, you tend to either just hint at ears in life drawing or you don't draw them at all if they are covered by hair. So here are 2 little ear sketches. I should do a series of sketches of other facial features just to get some more practice in.

I've never drawn anything for Illustration Friday before, not sure why, as a quick sketch only takes a few minutes and some of the topics that have been picked in the past have been really interesting. This weeks topic is "Toy", so decided on a quick little dragon sketch with the dragon playing with little wood blocks. I did think about having the dragon have a cat in it's mouth, but thought that might be a bit morbid :p

Finished gridding the drawing of Sky, now to transfer this to different paper and colour it in. Might take awhile with all that black that needs to be coloured :/ I could just do it in graphite, but thought trying CPs might be a little more interesting. I want to work on my portfolio, so thought that drawing fairy tales from different countries would be a good idea. So my question is; what are people's favourite fairy tales? It doesn't have to be from the country you are from, any fairy tale will do :)

Adding some red to the blue dragon to darken the shadows, and taking the barking crazy one for walks to the park. Who needs a diet when you have a border collie to walk around many many, many times a day? :p For more creative spaces, head over here :)

Still not 100% sure where all of my art stuff is, but I needed to draw something before I went insane :p So the start of a pointillism piece. And 10 minutes later, ready to transfer the line art to thicker paper and go crazy making lots of dots :D For more creative spaces head over here :)

ok, so you will make the dog cookies, but wont make me any? Spent the day making peanut butter treats for Sky, who would not leave my side the whole time they were being made (she loves peanut butter). There was lots of drooling and whining (from the dog :p), and they met with a chomp of approval :) (Mr.F says they smell like stovies, odd smelling stovies). ugh this has got to be the longest thing I have worked on in a while :/ Thankfully its almost done *lets out a huge sigh of relief* I think I will be focusing on ACEOs again until the puppy calms down, much easier to work on a small scale (well I hope it will be) *the commenting system here seems to be throwing a fit :/ *kicks*
