It has been a while since I updated. This blog is primarily about art and I haven't been doing finished pieces for a couple of months. Mostly I have been sketching and finding inspiration from other artists. I also took some time to write, something I haven't done in a long time. Things are about to change though.
I am getting started on several larger drawings and paintings. I will also begin making Artist Trading Cards again. My first will be to make 4 cards about sheep. I will be focusing primarily on animals and nature for the next couple of months in most of my art.
I have had enough people request ATCs as gifts from me in the last couple of months that I am opening an Etsy store to sell my art. I have thought about it for a while but didn't want to limit myself to just ATCs. Many years ago I drew a lot of animals in pen and ink and most were pretty good. I want to go back to that style with some fresh drawings and better printing.
If you are an artist who needs a challenge, I found a great site that I've been using a lot the last few weeks. It provides human photo models on a timer. You can do several 1 minute sketches, move to some longer ones and then do a really long one if you like. It has some customization so you can pick gender (or both) and clothed or nude. I'm finding the fast studies are really helping my more detailed drawings as I'm focusing on the big stuff more.
