Quick Draw

I was sitting at the library the other day and decided to see if I can do a complete drawing (sketch and color) in a very short time. A Quick Draw!! ya know

Well there was this young gal sitting across the way studying something and kept making this ' I have an idea' gesture and it tickled me silly. So I decided to try and sketch her. This is what I came up with and it only took me 23 minutes.

New Journal

I am starting a new Art Journal and decided to design the cover. This journal will be for journaling about my discoveries through nature.

Here is the cover, let me know what you think.

It is a lime green leather cover. I used sharpie permanent marker. I am noticing that it is smearing a little so I am wondering if there is something I can use to seal it, or if maybe I should use the burner and burn it on. Whattcha think?

Illustration Friday ~ Skinny

Well since Halloween is so close when I saw the topic for this weeks Illustration Friday I thought of the pumpkin patch...

Penelope went to search for a plump pumpkin and all she could find was a field of "Skinny" pumpkins.
