Dimetrodon

This is a Dimetrodon which means "two types of teeth". I have been reading a book called The Fossil Hunter by Shelley Emling. It is about Mary Anning and how her fossil discoveries changed the world. It is a great book and now I am really into dinosaurs. I was... Continue reading

Panther Chameleon

This is a Panther Chameleon drawn from a picture out of a book I got from the library called Firefly Encyclopedia of Reptiles and Amphibians. It was fun to try to draw all of the texture on this lizard. It is sometimes hard for me to figure out how to... Continue reading

Blue Bird

This is the last bird drawing I did before taking the book Birds: A Visual Guide back to the library. I am very happy with this drawing. It was done with one of the Sakura Micron pens in my handmade journal. I am not sure what size pen I used.... Continue reading

Coral

I was digging through my shells from Florida again looking for something to draw when I found this piece of coral. I knew it would be difficult but I wasn't doing anything else so I thought why not try it. About half way through I wanted to quit and just... Continue reading

An owl and a bat in a tree

I drew/painted this on Friday. I am not a fan of this paper for watercolor even though it is supposed to be watercolor paper. The paint just kind of sits on top of it until it dries. Also there is way too much texture on the paper for me. I... Continue reading

Shells

I have a bunch of shells from my trips to Florida. They are sitting in a jar on the mantle. I dug through the jar and picked out three that I thought might be fun to draw. The large one is a piece of a sea biscut, I am not... Continue reading

Drawing Cords

Cords seem like a mundane subject until you actually try to draw them then you realize how each one is just a little different. Drawing multiple cords is a difficult task because of the way they weave under and over each other. I used a Pilot rollerball pen. I didn't... Continue reading

Fish Scales

This is the third and final drawing from last Thursday's open mic night at the Bethel Rd. Pub. I knew I had a lot of time to kill so I went wild with the scales. I would like to see this one in color but I am not actually motivated... Continue reading

Fish Lines

This is the second drawing I did at the Bethel Rd. Pub last Thursday. I realized that drawing these silly fish critters really makes me happy no matter how many of them I draw. I don't know why I draw them or what they are really. For awhile I thought... Continue reading

Sassy Cat

When we got to the Bethel Rd. Pub last Thursday I had my sketchbook and my pen but honestly I did not feel like drawing. I knew I had to but I really didn't have any ideas. I just put my pen on the paper and drew an eye, then... Continue reading

owl drawing

I was flipping through the book I got from the library: Birds A Visual Guide when I came across a picture of an owl with its wings spread wide. I thought it would be fun to draw. All of those little details were hard to get in but I am... Continue reading

Flower eyed fish

This is the last drawing I did last Thursday at the Bethel Rd. Pub open mic night. First I drew a flower that was supposed to look like a dandelion, then I drew a fish around it so the flower looked like the fish's eye. Then they were rocking some... Continue reading

Polar bear in a tree

This is another installment from the open mic night at the Bethel Rd. Pub on January 27th. I drew the polar bear then drew leaves all around him and added a tree trunk. The background looked really plain at that point so I decided to write something and this is... Continue reading

Miseducation of the doodle

Miseducation of the doodle is a great post about how doodling can help you learn difficult concepts and solve problems. I wish I would have known about this when I was in school trying to learn abstract concepts. Continue reading

A fish in an inner tube

This is the second picture that I drew during the open mic night at the Bethal Rd. Pub. Since I had plenty of time to just hang out and draw I took a lot of time drawing scales on this fish. He is relaxing in an inner tube. Fish need... Continue reading

Puffin

I was flipping through the book Birds A Visual Guide that I got from the library last night and I saw this cute puffin with a mouth full of fish that I thought I would try to draw. I love those fat cheeks! I used my black Faber Castell brush... Continue reading

Cockatiel

Yesterday we went to the library. I was specifically looking for a book with a lot of animal pictures that I could use for drawing references. I prefer drawing from real life but it is just too cold to go outside to draw and I am tired of seeing the... Continue reading

feather

A few years ago Greg and I went to Dawes Arboretum. We walked through Azalea Glen, the Bonsai Garden, the amazing Cypress Swamp, down a forest trail past a log cabin where maple syrup is made and finally to the graveyard. This was a beautiful graveyard with a lot of... Continue reading
