Friday Roundup

A mish-mash of stuff for the weekend: some figure drawing, a vintage structure with a fascinating story, and a link to a discount off my craftsy class and etsy store, a holiday gift to yourself, perhaps?

I think my very earliest one-minute sketches set the tone for how I saw and responded to the model at figure drawing this week. Volume, strength and rounded lines set the tone for this week’s sketches.

If you’re wondering why there are fewer posts on this blog, it’s because I’m also posting on Vintage Signs of San Jose.Even if you don’t live near San Jose and know these signs, they make fascinating stories. You can follow that blog by hitting the red button at the bottom of the page when you go there. My most recent post is about this oddly lovable giant orange which has a pretty fascinating story connected to it.

If it intrigues you, click here to see the full post of sketches and find out more about this structure.

Happy December!
Gifting time? Here’s my little sales pitch (and discount codes for the season)

My craftsy class finally has discount codes available again! Use the code
http://craftsy.me/2gOIlvw for a discount on the class.

And if you’re thinking of gifting some art this holiday season, then you can use the code SKETCH1THANKS at checkout at my etsy store for 15% off the price of anything in the store. (but order soon, so I can print and ship to you in time for the holidays.)
