Getting There

Almost done with this dummy.

(My gosh, today is what I call rain!)

More WIP. And February.

Another rough sketch from a work-in-progress.

I've been a drawing fool lately. My walls are covered with sketches for the middle grade novel project I've been working on... SO much fun it is! There's nothing more enjoyable than hunkering down in my little studio or in front of the fire with drawing board, pencil and paper, and getting to know new characters. Kind of makes me forget it's February. (Not that there's anything wrong with February. If only it wasn't so cold. If only I was motivated to wear something other than sweatpants when it's so cold!)

Meanwhile, I could really use more wall space.

Sketches. And Lists.

And yet another rough sketch from another new idea.

Time to make a list of my project lists to see where everything's at. Maybe each little list within one big list to hang on the wall. Or a list of what's in each project pile. Oh... piles! Don't get me started...

Running From?

This has turned out to be a week for working on sketches. The one above and yesterday's are for new samples. I usually don't do this much shading for a sketch, but thought it would be fun to try something different.

I'm also working on a dummy for a new story. The drawings are a bit more complicated than I expected, and so are taking longer. It's a little bit frustrating-- I feel like time is slipping past! I've been writing and revising, and once I finish the pictures it will lead to even more revising. I'm approaching this project with baby steps. Every day. It will get done.

Perhaps, she's running from time...
