Little pencil sketch off Cassandra Lorien. I usually post sketches and process work over at my facebook: www.facebook.com/Janeradstromart
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.
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”.
SXSW fashion sketches
Austin has exploded with visitors for SXSW 2012. The festival opens with film and interactive segments and then transitions to the more famous music portion. All these out-of-towners make for some great people watching, and I love to see what everyone is wearing. At first, the weather was dismal and everyone was wearing whatever allowed them to stay a bit dry. Now that the clouds are clearing, the fashion is really blooming. I am looking forward to doing some more sketches as the bands roll in. Some of these are done on the spot in my sketchbook as the people quickly filter past, others are done after the fact.
