Don't sleep and draw...

I worked on this "salute" to March the other night.

I guess I tried to add some finishing touches after going to bed!  Not a good idea!

Here is the mess... And then the fixed up version... 

Scribbles scribbles!  Look at the eye lashes and messy white lines!  Oh dear!

I need to hide my iPad after bedtime!  Hahaha!!!

Slumber Party

My sister was in charge of "Activities" for the 2016 Knit-In event in Madison this week-end.  The gathering started off with a Pajama Party on Friday night.  This was handed out as a "Coloring Sheet" for the guests...

There were many workshops and more than 30 vendors.  My sister did a great job organizing a "tea party"

And "Pin the Wool on Ewenice.'  Blindfolded knitters (some with a glass or two of wine in them) pinned wool on  a poster of this mostly naked sheep... 

I went for one evening of fun... And met so many wonderful knitters!

What Have I Been Drawing?

A little bit of this... And a little bit of that.... Figuring out different ways to color my drawings.  I'm loving the "water color" effects with a brush tool in Art Studio.  I'm also learning to love plain white backgrounds!  Here are a few other "water color" drawings.  

I recently ran into an old friend I hadn't seen in 20 years at the grocery store... Our greeting went something like this:

(Yes, we've both gone gray over the years...)

My annual Leprechaun for St. Patrick's Day:

I doodled up this gal... She looked like she had news to share.  I put her in an office thinking almost anyone would welcome such a visitor on their work day.

........still on track with A Drawing A Day!  I even have some extras drawn up!  Woot! Woot!

Thank you Mary... Love this!

Bucket List

I've figured out what is on my Bucket List.  I want to observe Disney/Pixar artists at work.  I just got home from Zootopia... I watched in awe of the artwork.  The cartoonization (is that a word?) of so many animals... Their expressions, movement, gestures, emotions... AMAZING!  I know there was a story there - and I enjoyed that too... But I was totally absorbed in the animation.  I guess I always am when I watch Disney... And Zootopia did not disappoint... Only confirmed my desire to see first-hand how this all works!!!  Kind of reminds me of the inside tour I got to do years ago at Hallmark... Sigh... My heart beats for all the artistic talent in the world!  So --- who can arrange an animator's dream for me?
