Today's drawing is in the Sketchbook Project's sketchbook. It's a marina near Baltimore's Inner Harbor.

First sketchbook project page

OK, there will be overlap. Today I'm posting the drawing I did in my new Sketchbook Project book. Sometimes I'll do another drawing for this blog, and other times I'll just use what I draw in the Sketchbook. Here's my blog about The Sketchbook Project.

Deer antler

I've drawn this antler before, but I didn't have time tonight to think of something new. Even a few minutes of drawing is very relaxing.

Sabu

Sabu was lying in front of me, just like this, and gazing at me for a long time, before I suddenly realized I should draw him! I had to go to the studio to get my sketchbook and pencils, and I asked him very nicely to stay, because I wanted to draw him. He did stay, just like that, until I got resettled in my chair and was ready to start drawing... and then he left! So I drew this from memory. He is doing "The Famous Sabu Paw-Tuck", as we call it. I love the way his shoulders protrude forward. His name is pronounced "Sayboo", by the way...

Rascal

 

I donated a charcoal portrait (of a person or pet) to Alex's high school fundraiser's silent auction, and this is the winner's choice. He is a Vizsla, or Hungarian Pointer, a beautiful reddish-brown dog with a slim build and very short, glossy fur.

Little crackle vase

 

This is a very pretty little blue and white crackle-glazed vase. I have no idea where it came from, I just had it among my still life stuff.

Cut up ATM card

I cut up this expired ATM card - instead of just cutting it in half, I made a bunch of random half cuts and folded it up. It was very sculptural, so I turned it different ways to draw it.
