Just a quick, early morning practice drawing. This is after a drawing I found on Pinterest when I was looking for something to draw. I needed something to draw while I was listening to Matthew McConaughey’s commencement speech. If you haven’t heard it, you should take a listen.

Just a quick, early morning practice drawing. This is after a drawing by one of my favorite figure artists, Ewa Gawlik.

Thanks for looking.

Just a quick practice drawing based on an online, live lesson from Zimou Tan. The man knows how to draw. I’m looking forward to his next lesson.

Another quickie sketch of Miss Audrey. I’m actually toying with the idea of doing a painting of her. Something with a little bit of an abstract bent to it. We’ll have to wait and see how it goes.

Just a quickie sketch to get away from the writing right now. I’ve finished my next novel and have done a couple of edits on it. It is now in the hands of my viscous editor, who will undoubtedly send it back covered in hideous red marks. She’s always been that way. Of course, I can’t say anything because she’s my daughter and 99.9% of the time she is right.

Anyway, Audrey seemed to be a good subject for my drawing practice this evening. You can never go wrong with Audrey.

Just a quick bit of drawing practice today and I thought I’d do one of everyone’s favorite clown, Pennywise. This was actually part of a drawing challenge I found on Pinterest. That’s always a good source of practice projects. I wonder what I’ll find there tomorrow.

Anyway, I’ve been busy formatting my latest novel for paperback and that is taking quite some time. But, if you’re the kind that likes to read ebooks on your Kindle, you can pick up The Wrath right now. It is the second chapter in The Chronicles of Wyndweir. If you like wizards and dragons, you’ll love this series. The paperback version should be ready within the next couple of days.

Haven’t been able to keep up with the challenge the Leslie Saeta is hosting this month. I’ve got a novel I’m putting the final editing into right now and it has taken the bulk of  my time. But, tonight I just had to get away from it and doing a quick painting was the answer.

Another practice piece that shows that I need a LOT more practice. I have the hardest time getting the two halves of items like this to look symmetrical. It doesn’t matter is it’s a coffee cup, a wine bottle or a flower vase. They always seem to come out looking like an accident from the kiln. Maybe I’ll spend the rest of Leslie Saeta’s 30-Paintings-in-30-Days challenge doing mostly still lifes with these kinds of objects.

Another quick practice session while listening to Joe Rogan interview Elon Musk. Kind of hard to keep my mind on the drawing when I was listening to that genius talk about how he sees the world. More people need to pay attention to that man and what he believes.

Anyway, I think the drawing came out pretty good. I have a couple of other photos of her that I’d like to try, maybe in pencil or pastel.
