90 SECOND POSES

8 x 10 graphite

I found this site called posemaniacs that have quick poses to sketch from. It was great to practice that way. At first I did the drawing and then ounce the pose was done I went back on my drawings and accentuated a few lines.

This is for " THE FLYING MOLESKINS " as my first page with a theme of landscapes, trees, roads, strong shadows and light. It is now going to Michelle Burnett to do something in it with this theme.

" THE FLYING MOLESKINS "

WE"RE OFF

A few of us are getting together to sketch, draw, paint, collage etc.. what ever our artistic mind decide.

In our collaborative MOLESKINS exchange.

I started "The Flying Moleskins"

with the idea that each of us would do something artistic in each others books but with the premise that we would have a book of our own at the end.

Some of us will have themes so it will be interesting to see the different ideas that come out of it.
