No Eraser

The goal of perfection, although a desirable ambition, can sometimes hinder productivity. If I don't think I'm going to have the time/ability to do something right, then I end up not doing it. For this reason I began a sketchbook to help me just jump into drawing/sketching: commit to a line, just let the mistakes happen, depend more on what I see rather than guessing by sketching a line over and over until it falls in the right place.

Trying to loosen up first...

Kinda hate it...

29 Faces

I just came across a blog challenge to draw/paint/design a face each day in February. I thought it'd be good practice, so, even though I'm starting a little late, here goes.

Yul Brynner (Photoshop painting)

For Groundhog Day (pen, paper)

I made this face playing around on my dad's iPad (Brushes) in December (since I didn't have a face for the first day)

Honduras Mission Book

I wanted to throw together a picture book for the Honduras Mission trip....
the process turned out to be more frustrating than I expected. Photoshop Elements kept crashing and corrupting my files. I had to re-create it several times. I ended up  having to save a different version after each page created. 

Thankfully it was finally completed!

Florida Found Logo

An antiques/decor store owner asked if I could make a logo for her store (with a Flamingo).

ACME Site Design

Design for a class based on a fictitious company.
