After a few days of drawing from life, I just have play, experiment, fracture, fragment and repeat the design!

Then, this morning I had the idea to do a very quick study of the kitchen sink and associated household stuff around it.  Naturally, MsKitty had to be there.  This type of study is just meant to be quick, not accurate or a great composition.  It's fun!  If you have five minutes, it's entertaining.  This is done on a scratch piece of paper with a roller ball pen. 

"Creative Every Day" Challenge theme for March is "story".  MsKitty's story is that she's on a quest…for discovery.  What that really means is that I challenge myself to put MsKitty in all sorts of situations.  We're getting ready for some major expeditions.  The quick studies are done to prepare me to do landscapes and interiors.  Another part of MsKitty's story is her friendship with ToyPony.  As you scroll through the drawings, you might see that they get to go to all sorts of fun, fantastic places.

Enjoy your "Ides of March"

MsKitty and the container again.  I thoroughly enjoy drawing with the paint brush! 

Another simple drawing of my great grandmother's powder container.  I was studying the planes of the container..and my favorite ovals.  Naturally, MsK supervises.

I keep practicing cups and containers because of the trickiness of ovals.  Today's blind contour drawing is of a cappuccino cup and saucer with a powder container and lid.  The powder container belonged to my great grandmother.  In addition to the sentimental value, I love the shapes of the container.

By the way, MsK is napping today.

Hmmmmm…gotta talk to the model; she doesn't hold her poses very well.  I think it's interesting that I accidentally drew the eyes looking two different directions.  Is this a result of my habit of drawing in a somewhat Cubist manner?  Or, model problems, or both?  MsK has it figured out, but she won't say; too polite.

I did a page of simple drawings of MsKitty and Toy Pony.  I'm thinking about simple gesture and expression.

I just noticed, this is my 500th posting on my blog!  Who could guess I have so much to say.

I thought I'd practice drawing with my digital pen and tablet.  I use Corel's "Painter" program.  The feel is different because the tablet surface is sort of slick.  But I like the big simple shapes.  And, I can easily play with value arrangement.
