Just a little bit of doodling

Picked up some kids art books from the library. So I have been doing some of the stuff in it with the boys. So far I think I have used the books more than Austin. But on the otherhand, Austin has been reading like crazy which is an awesome thing!!

Must Overdue!

Posting something here is so long overdue. I'm not really sure why I have been procrastinating adding something new. I'm still trying to draw on a regular basis. I've just been slacking on actually scanning in my sketches. I also haven't mastered sketching on the drawing tablet. Then once the school year ended the boys and I have been enjoying the pool and working in the garden. This past week we had more mild temperatures so we decided to spend a bit more time playing outside. We actually ventured out to the park. That was really fun and enjoyable since the temps didn't go up to 103. I was worried that we were going to be having an unbearable hot summer, but I was pleasantly surprised at least for this past week. So hopefully I will get my act together and post some of my work more often.
This sketch of a bear was motivated by the story in the news a while back about how a bear had been spotted running around our county. The bear was seen around for a couple of days and then mysteriously hasn't been seen again. So when the bear story happened I just couldn't help but to want to draw bears. Then of course with all the stuff about the Kung Fu Panda flick out....I have been on a bear drawing kick....hehehe no pun intended!:) This was one of the first bears I sketched. I used a couple of drawing books for some tips on how to draw the body shape. It's more of a cartoony sketch. I find there is so much more freedom with the cartoon types of drawing. They are also a much quicker process to draw. Easier to do when you face interruptions! I have a few more I have done, but I need to scan them in!
