A leg and a mouth

A day's worth of workshops and meetings is likely to yield a few doodles -- like Christina's leg or the mouth of my Coke can -- on harassment & bullying  handouts.  

 

Grand

I came close to buying my own 1983 Jeep Grand Wagoneer over a decade ago -- then, as with the 1985 Saab 900 (years later), I chickened out.  It figures.  Pigma Micron 08 and watercolor in watercolor Moleskine.  

 

Nora's little library

I have a small drawing by Robert Crumb that I keep on a wall.  It's a drawing of the corner of a hotel room.  There is the corner of a pillow, a piece of the headboard, and a phone -- and it's so darn perfect.  There is an incredible balance between detail and omission.  I have aspired for years to draw something similar -- to take the mundane and celebrate it with the pen.  And this was my nth attempt at attaining that.

Another page in Nora's little babylogue -- the Moleskine I have kept for the past 20 months.  Pigma Micron 01.

 

Sue times three

Here's a quick study of my friend/colleague Sue, after a series of photographs by Kristen, who has been camera happy since she got a Canon Rebel.  This doesn't begin to do Sue's curls justice -- but hopefully naming this a study helps me get away with all the details I've avoided.  HB pencil in 9 x 12 Strathmore sketchbook. 

 

Can you draw my eye?

One of my students asked me to draw her eye -- from a disgustingly blurry cell phone picture!  And because it was blurry, it made me want to try it. B pencil on sketch paper.
