Finished out my old one, so got to start in my tiny, new Moleskine this weekend. Christened it with a view of the informal concert we watched my daughter play in downtown at Seattle's Winterfest celebration.
I also listened to this weekend's Conceptart.org's live streaming class on sketchbooks. Lots of great examples of famous artists sketching (and not the beautiful, elegantly composed and finished 'sketches' that many artists sell now as sketchbooks). Plus a number of good ideas on sketchbook exercises and subjects. A worthwhile way to spend the afternoon.

Sunday Sketching -
Only a couple more pages left in this tiny purse Moleskine....(Maybe for Halloween, I'll draw their skeletal structures instead? Just like Steve over on Drawn Today. :-)
Sketching in the Dark...
Me and my tiny purse-Moleskine go everywhere together... Last night it was to the theater. The play was cute, but not gripping so I felt free to sketch some of the fun costumes and sets and profiles. Made even more exciting by the fact that I couldn't really see what I was drawing.
You can see more location sketching in my latest blog entry.

Tried to push the stylizing a bit. (there were kids sitting behind me watching. They didn't think I captured the essence of the people I was drawing at all... Needs work apparently).
Sunday Sketching -
My teeny purse Moleskine (it's one of the 3.5x5.5 ones) is starting to look worn. I'm more than three-quarters of the way through it, so it ought to survive til its remaining pages are filled.
I continue to feel vaguely guilty for only doing some sort of drawing-from-life only once or twice a week, so am grateful for the impetus to do some sort of sketching more often! Thanks again Madeline.... (you can see more Sunday sketches on my blog).
Sunday Sketching-
Over the last few years of heavy work, I've become fairly nocturnal in my sleeping habits. Church on Sunday comes much too early. I've taken to pulling out my tiny purse Moleskine and drawing people around me to stay awake. Here were the ones closest to me this week.
(And I think a tree house would be awesome! :-)
