Remember when I talked about Andrea Joseph last week? Well, if it’s at all possible, I’ve gotten even more obsessed that I was last week. I’ve been saving all the sketches she’s done that speak to me and using one a day to make my own. I am nowhere near as talented as she is but she’s the first person who inspired me this much in a long long long time. And I am deeply grateful that I am sketching daily all thanks to her.
On Friday, I decided to try my hands at this and here’s my version.
and then on Saturday I did the can of sardines:
and Sunday I tried the Adidas sneakers. Here’s the drawing:
and shaded.
on Monday, I wanted to do something less time consuming since I have work but I didn’t want to skip it, so I did the travel toothbrush:
Tuesday was all about the zipper. This one is much harder than it looks.
I have a long long way to go but I have finally found my happy place where I have her sketches to inspire me so I can really really practice. After I’ve done a whole bunch, I can venture to do things in my house but I am so in need of practice and I am deeply grateful to Andrea for her amazing inspiration. By the way, if you think she’s as amazing as I do she has an etsy shop. (I don’t know Andrea at all, just a fan.)
Here’s to more and more sketching!
Those sketches are amazing!
Hi Karen,
The sketches are much improved. I think faces must just be a really hard place to start. The random stuff you are sketching now really looks good, and seems to make you much happier too!
I think you may have found your niche….try portraits later. This stuff is amazing!
Great sketches. I’m so envious. I can’t draw to save my life. Keep up the terrific work. And I have to say, I love all of your pictures. The flowers you’ve been posting have been amazing. 🙂
i can’t either I swear!! I am just practicing and trying! you can, too!! and thank you for your kind words about my photos!! 🙂
Absolutely STUNNING!!! They are so detailed, especially the Zipper!!!
Sorry I’ve missed some of your drawings – I had some surgery done and have been
recovering – but now I’m back!
These are awesome, Karen! I especially love the camera one. Isn’t it awesome to be excited about a hobby?!? I’m feeling that way about scrapbooking thanks to FYW 🙂
yes it is! thank you. I am just so excited every day to get to do one 🙂
Karen your sketches have been incredible!!!
Karen please don’t doubt how beautiful and wonderful your sketches are. Truly amazing and creative, like a real artist. The zipper one and the shoes are my favorite I think, love the details on them. Keep up the good work and glad your enjoying it and found your happy place. Keep sharing with us.
