Little pencil sketch off Cassandra Lorien. I usually post sketches and process work over at my facebook: www.facebook.com/Janeradstromart
A gift for the model, Seraphina Song. Thanks for working with me!
Gesture drawings from a live model last night. The black ones are 5 minute poses, and the one on toned paper is 10 minutes. Nupastel and charcoal stick. Life drawing is fantastic for reminding me to be efficient, less is more.
Sketchbook dump! Some pages from the past few months. You can tell that even in my sketchbook I love to draw people best.
New sketchbook kicked off by a visit with art friends in Shreveport. The guys got together and their geek came out.
Work in progress - new drawing for the Girls series experimenting with double exposure. I took hundreds of photos during this shoot. Many are just a slight movement from one picture to the next. This whole series is very influenced by photographic effects and using them as an inspiration to depart from traditional observed reality. Now, I have to figure out how to finish the drawing.
Sketchbook pages - Tom on the way to Dallas, and 2 days later on the return home.
A few ink and marker drawings of Tom, and travel.
When other ideas fail, draw your drink! Sketching at some local spots around town. My favorite neighborhood coffee shop - Dolce Vita, the best Italian food in Austin - Sagra, and a new nose-to-tail restaurant with some well done cocktails - The Salty Sow. (Get the idea that I like to eat a lot?) That time between ordering and receiving your food is a perfect opportunity for a quick drawing!
A few more ball point pen sketches! Two of my dear lady friends relaxing at the springs, I like that one is reading a book and on the opposing page she is reading a kindle. The final sketch is a repeating drawing self portrait - “inception”.
