A black and white pen drawing of McDonald's Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit, hashbrown and McCafe coffee

First day of 365 in #MyLifeinSketches really happy with how this first page turned out. Im a little worried I'm setting the bar too high, but we'll see #optimistic #dailysketch

Got a book called Write, Design & Wreck. It's been a great "artists devotional" for me. I've started every day with this book to open my mind up.

What do you do to start your day creatively?

Hope you all have/had wonderful holidays and regular days. I spent the past couple of days finishing this lovely miniature kit I was gifted.

Now that I'm done with it I'm attempting to shift my focus on other cozy projects. The weather is steeply declining here.

Stay safe and happy new year

I've always known I'm a night owl. Ive only just recently realized 90% of my ideas come to me as I drift off to sleep at night. I don't remember them most of the time when I wake up the next morning.

I was watching SLC Punk and realized it's an awesome source for really cool plaid patterns.

I decided I wanted to practice them and keep them somewhere for future reference. So here they are

Literally finished this minutes ago lol I've been wanting to do something consumer focused for the holidays

I could not get over how perfect every little detail was. The lighting, the vivid gorgeous color grading, the historically accurate details. This is truly such a beautiful masterpiece

The irony of this trip. I had been told my strength was in drawing people.

After reflecting on these sketches from the airport compared to everything else I've drawn, I'm not so sure that's true anymore

Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix is always a pleasure to visit. I absolutely enjoyed my time relaxing and sketching away as I listened to the music each instrument makes.

I can't honestly tell if these are any good or not. It doesn't really matter for now. It was very good practice for me. I just stared too long to tell what's good. Glad I got the opportunity to do these.

I took on one of the scariest challenges I think I could ever face. I drew nature. I'm also practicing inanimate objects. I look forward to seeing progress in time.

These sketches are living proof of so much that I've needed. I never felt like i could draw anything aside from people.

I always wanted to sketch buildings and landscapes. So I finally did.

Going to OdySea Aquarium in Scottsdale AZ made me realize just how much I love sketching sea creatures. I need to do this more often

I can't share this with my family yet. It will be revealed at the birthday party. I'm too proud of it not to share, so you are the first to see it finished! What do you think?

Current WIP. I've been. Working this week on some moving parts that will make up a surprise birthday party. This is my biggest challenge. Turning Brian's Supra from Fast & Furious into a pin the tail game.

Went to the Halloween Frolic in Hiawatha KS. It's the oldest continuous Halloween Frolic/Parade in the US. This year marks the town's 111th parade.

Really fun to see Halloween brought to life like this.

Thank you so much! I will definitely share my link once it's all set up and running 😄

It really is. I can't believe I slept on it for so long

I've officially started the process of making my art digital.

With any luck I'll have an online shop soon!

This is the first of many dictionary pages.

I will be using a word from each page as a prompt for whatever art I put on it. I pick whichever word stands out to me most for my prompt.

Once I have enough pages, I will start my journey in selling my art at craft shows! Til then, wish me luck!

Somehow I managed to never draw kawaii art until tonight. So glad I did cuz this was fun!

Most of my drawings have sharp angular lines. Kawaii is nothing but soft round shapes. Not sure how much I'll really incorporate in the future but it did challenge me in a very good way.

This was inspired by all the vibes of Bill Skarsgard in the movie Locked.

Something about a guy in a hoodie has always looked cool to me so I wanted to put that into my art.

Without realizing it, this caricature also resembles certain features of my husband. It's interesting how life influences us

A blue and purple butterfly with wings spread

This was a doodle that got carried away. I was testing different mediums and primers on a dictionary page. I came to the conclusion that primer makes the paper too wrinkly.

I used this page to test gouache on a larger scale. It held up but I ended up using acrylic markers and that worked out better

He called me white chocolate cause I’m pale and thick

This piece was inspired by an owl that lives near me, hooting at night. It's one of the most soothing sounds I've ever heard.

This piece reflects the fierceness of animals in the wild. They are battered and bruised, but become stronger because of it. Their resilience is something to admire.

My most recent drawing. I finished this on the 16th

Struggling to hold on to life as it continues to take other lives
