But I love it when I come back after neglecting it for awhile. In the big picture it's usually not about being too busy, anyway, but about not being determined enough to apply my intelligence and creativity to solving the problems that keep me out of the studio. Today I was able to do some carving with my newly oiled, smooth-as-silk flexshaft machine. What a joy that was! I'm rebuilding the bail on the
descending dove cross (no, it's still not cast) and starting from scratch the
tree of life cross that has given me trouble. I think that one is on its way to the finish line now. Hooray!
I didn't do a new Illustration Friday post this week, but I linked an
old post to IF. The prompt this week is "red."
To make up for no new IF things, I decided to share some colored pencil sketches I did awhile ago on kraft paper. I love how colored pencil pops on kraft paper and I love the warm brown.
The crop on my Photoshop isn't working, so I'm posting pictures that work best uncropped. I would do better if I could.
