trick rider
ALT: crayon drawing., sort of abstract expression. it’s a purple horse, with someone standing on it with one foot in the air. background orange and green.

clearing brush
ALT: water soluble graphite and crayon. two angled shapes that look somewhere between arms and boomerangs, face each other on a field of tall grass. maybe they are parting a path through. I spent the earlier part of the evening pruning bushes and moving brush piles, if that helps any with the explanation.

No drawing today; I got unexpectedly invited to see an odd movie before I got very far into my studio time. But I did finish this darnstar! The above picture is a scan, which gives me a chance to share my frustration with the scanner’s ability to accurately pick up certain colors, particularly that peacock/aqua blue. For comparison, see the photo below, which is much closer to the colors in real life.


pub sing
ALT: crayon and ink sketch from a photo of yesterday’s lovely pub sing. woman in red, seated, gesturing broadly with a smile, in front of two other people. none of them would recognize themselves from the photo; it was the end of a long day and I was really tired but determined to at least get something that looked like a drawing to post.
