With ten minutes left of lunch I sit at my desk , crack open my copy of "the illustrated life" which I have been doing during lunch the last week, when I realize that I could put the book down and get a VERY quick sketch in.
Sometimes I get so caught up in being inspired by others work that I lose the time to actually sketch. So I figure I'll leave the reading for when it's dark and use the daylight hours (as short as they are right now) to sketch!
With all that said, here is a quick sketch looking out of the conference room window.

Christmas at Mike's

Christmas at my brothers house, sitting on the sofa watching the dogs sleep by the fire.

Bruiser

One of my brothers American bulldogs...such a huge dog and such a mush!

Riley (on brown paper)

I've been wanting to try working on colored paper with white pencil. I remembered there was this old sketch book in the cupboard and decided to rip a few sheets out. So here she is with her grey hair. :) If all goes well I may bind some of this into the new sketch book.

I thought i'd try sketch from the airport in a different style. So many times i've wondered what a drawing might look like done differently.So last night i gave it a whirl.

Rachel and I go together again to sketch tonight. This was the last of the 4 pages I filled. I started to sketch her head then she changed positions so the top of her head it whats there, ill proportioned and all :)

Lunch

It's cold out and it's snowing so i'm walking the building looking for places to sketch. Landed myself in the conference room above visitor/inter-company parking. Looked down and started sketching...

Tootsie Roll Pops

I think I'll add color to this another night...see what happens :)
