Two More for the Swap
Here’s two more for the sketchbook swap – these two are in Dawn’s book. Pen and ink, as usual.
The Waterbug and the Bee, pen and ink.
I’m calling this one “The Doctor’s Office” for the moment. That’s not quite right, though – I know what’s happening, but I can’t explain it. Or, I won’t explain it. Maybe I shouldn’t explain it.

Monthly Sketchbook Challenge Closes
I filled a 100 page sketchbook during the month of May, thanks to the Sketchbook Challenge.
I noticed a few things.
- Moleskines, which were invented by Hobbits, will never replace my trusty, all-purpose sketchbooks. I do not love the yellow pages, and they don’t take my favorite pens’ ink well. I enjoy writing and making notes in them, but I think they become a large part of the art itself, rather than just containing the art. Still, I intend to try the watercolor variety – I painted in this one quite a bit.
- I produced the 7 Fish drawing because of this challenge, and came up with two other ideas that I’m working on. For that alone I am very glad I did this.
- I’ve never completely filled a sketchbook before this – I always leave a few pages blank.
This was totally fun. It feels like I just finished a really great novel and already miss the characters.
I posted all the sketches (except one really good screw up, and the two really good ideas) on flickr.
