Pandas for Megan

This past week I went on vacation to NorCal and besides having an awesome (yet painful) time learning to snowboard I met up with a bunch of my family. My second cousin has 3 beautiful kids and once they heard I was an artist they asked if I could draw them something. The 5 year old asked for a butterfly and the 8 year old asked for pandas. Reference found online on a Driod phone.

More from my daily sketch journal (the rest of the sketches I post for today will be from my daily sketch journal). My husband was in Japan for 3 weeks. This was done the night he got home. He had traveled for 36 hours that day and was exhausted. It made him a great model :)
Leaf

I swept a lot of leaves at work on this day and so decided I should sketch one of these many leaves. I think I may one day use this as reference for a watercolor painting.
I Forgot
pen on paper

Two my girlfriends and I went to San Diego for the VH1 Divas concert back in December and when we arrived at our destination I realized I forgot to pack a few things. Namely a toothbrush, toothpaste, and pajamas. Desperate times call for desperate measures so the above sketched socks became my toothbrush for that evening until I could get one the next day. The sock is a continuous line semi blind contour drawing.
So this is the last of my sketches I will be sharing for a bit because.... I am back to school!! And I am actually super super excited for this semester. I am taking Sculpture 1, Mixed Media Painting and Drawing, and Surrealism, Stylization and Expression. It is going to be a fun and expressive. An awesome amazing quote from this first week "We are only using the model as an excuse to paint." SAY WHAT?!?! You mean I dont need to get every proportion and value and line perfect? You mean I may actually enjoy drawing the figure? I predict this is going to be a very very good semester.
