Pookie Art

Mom had cataract surgery on Monday.  I saw this interesting-looking guy in the corner alseep, waiting his turn.

I figured he was "sketch worthy" (interesting-looking) and so I snuck a picture of him w/ my camera phone so I could draw from it later.  It’s taken me a few days, but I finished it today while at Subway (the restaurant), after finishing my sub.  This was done in my Lami Li sketchbook.

Here are two drawings that I did in my new Lama Li sketchbook that I got on Sunday.  The cafe one was done in the Books A Million Cafe right after I bought the sketchbook.  I drew the line from left to right first, the line of the top of the case, over the guy’s head, etc.  Then filled everything else in.  I usually draw in my moleskine but I really love my new Lama Li sketchbook a lot!

The lady w/ the glasses, I had seen her last weekend in a restaurant and thought she looked… "sketch-worthy", so I took her pic w/ my camera phone and then today drew the sketch (or "sketched the drawing") (or whatever).

I saw this neato magazine in the waiting room at the physical therapy place last week.  It’s called Reminisce Magazine and it’s all about the good ol’ days, articles about being a kid in the 1940’s, photos of strange, no-longer-used items, lots of photos of people.  I was happy to find the magazine yesteray at Books A Million and picked up a copy.  There are so many neat things in there to draw.  This spoon I drew was a photo sent in by a reader for this section of the magaizine where you send in a photo and description of an item if you don’t know what it is or what it was used for, in hopes that someone will write in and fill you in.  This twisted spoon caught my eye.  Until someone writes in w/ an answer (IF anyone does) I can’t tell you what it was used for!   I like this drawing a lot and may do it again, but spend more time on it.  This was a quick sketch, I did two sketches in the Books A Million cafe yesterday.  Looking at the EDM list, I see it qualifies for "spoon" (#94), "something antique (#21) and "something metallic" (#32).  Oh, and this was done in my new Lama Li sketchbook that I had bought at the same time.
