Using my new scanner, I re-scanned in the Church sketch I did in 1998.

Drawn 1998. 

With the new scanner I got today, I have re-scanned the House I drew in 1998.  The filename is "housetor" because I saw the house in a Toronto newspaper.  I’ll delete the old post w/ the old scan.  Here’s the text from the original post:

I’ve been into drawing all my life. As a youngster I remember drawing animals and clouds… then later on drawing unicorns and horses and rainbows.  But even by the age of 11 I was drawing houses with a ruler, with the dream of becoming an architect (I didn’t). I designed houses and copied houses, even at 11 years old. I lost everything I owned shortly after that (long story) and so I have nothing to show you from then. When I was about 17 I started drawing houses again, drafting-style. I’m sure I have those drawings but they are deep in a box in a garage somewhere. In 1998 [when I was about 28] I did another house drawing, this one-

While waiting for my good scanner to get fixed, *ahem*, I picked up a $79 small scanner at Office Max today.  I even found my original artwork up in the computer room, so now I can rescan my "from the archives" stuff!  The new scanner is a small scanner w/ no power cord, it’s powered by USB and is so tiny I can stow it anywhere.  I’m so psyched that I can now re-scan in all my older drawings. 

UPDATE: I just scanned in a bunch of stuff, so stay tuned for new entries.  Not sure how much I’ll get uploaded tonight.

Drawn Nov. 2006.

I moved around a lot growing up.  I often obsess and/or dream about homes I lived in as a child.  So I started drawing them in my Moleskine. "H1" stands for "House 1" in my series of homes-I-lived-in drawings.  Drawn from memory.  This was a rather large house, I drew it too short (lengthwise) by accident.

Not sure if I’ll finish this ‘cause I probably won’t get an opportunity to see this figurine again. I took a photo of it but the photo didn’t save right or something. I guess I could try to shade without the figurine…

Drawing of "Seal", circa 1998.

Autumn Leaves, circa 1998.

I drew this around 1998.  I was inspired, LOL. If I remember right, I drew the outline and then colored it in using Photoshop.

For Illustration Friday. Challenge = "Red".  2007, not "06". EDITED TO ADD 2/1/07, I am currently working on making this sketch better, improving the coloring with  better colored pencils.
