Meh.

Trying to get consistent with new drawing style. Character for my imaginary graphic novel... a steampunk tiger. Still working on this... will probably color it fully when done.

For anyone still out there...

Just a reminder to those doing the March Challenge. Two weeks from today (Wednesday, the 17th) is the end of March (Wednesday, the 31st), so if you are planning on posting something, try to get it done for then.

I hope at least some of you are doing it because I am so curious to see what you come up with! And if anyone wants to post what they have so far to get feedback, please do.

Also, if anyone does not want to be a member on this blog anymore for any reason, email joinsketchsociety@yahoo.com and let me know.

Railroad

Adam and I started walking the old railroad tracks that run behind our apartment building. This is a sketch from one of the pictures we took today. The tracks are no longer used so it's neat to walk on them and imagine what it was like when they were used.

Hitchhiker.

Drawing I did this morning, trying new styles.

March Madness for the Masters

Hey, y'all! Jenna will be hibernating for a while, and she asked if I would take over Open Sketch Book Society in the meantime. Of course, I said I would. So, to keep up with the original pupose of this blog -which is to be used as a place for encouragement, critique, accountability, and for challenging each other to push further in the endeavors we are already undertaking- I am proposing a new challenge for the upcoming month of March to modivated those of us (myself included) who are in need of an idea, who have not been making art lately, or who have just been considerably inconsistent about posting their progress.

If you don't want to do the challenge, that is totally okay. My hope is that this blog will be revived in someway, and if that means posting the few warm up sketches you have throughout the week, that's fine. The point is that we stay in touch with each other. I have not been posting because I have not been drawing. Lame! Let's get drawing, kids!

The challenge for March is this:

Choose one of the Old Masters, do some research on him or her, and at the end of the month have a piece of contribution to that artist. This is very open-ended. It can be a remake of an artist's work, something you do based on their style or what you learn about them, or even a series using a technique they used. The options are unlimited. The only definitive guideline is that you research the artist and explain to the rest of us what you learned and why you did the piece you did.

It's still early so there is plenty of time. Ready. Set. Go!

My Girl Band

There you go Jenna. Your headliner, Lady Mischief.

Girl Band

I started with trying to make a banner for my blog, but instead I ended up with a poster for a girl band. Anyone want to join my band?
