2012 Projects – Weekly Sketching

One of my goals for 2011 was to sketch more. I wanted to keep daily sketch journals or be like those people you see sketching everywhere.

I loved the idea of being able to draw. I started with portraits but then moved on to anything I wanted. I made many many many pinterest boards with ideas and started sketching daily. Here are a few of my favorite sketches from 2011:

I started with black and white but then moved to color. I love both of them in different ways.

I then moved to watercolors which is what I am exploring at this very moment. I love using watercolors and really would like to explore the medium more. I will admit that I haven’t really taken the time to properly learn how to use watercolors but I hope and plan to.

So after sketching for over 8 months, I decided I wanted to focus on illustration style for a while. I became a huge fan of Abigail Halpin’s whimsical style and wanted to emulate it and come up with my own version. I then started taking Jane Davenport’s I heart Drawing class which is more about drawing bodies and body forms. I am hoping that by the end of that class, I will have a slew of ideas on what to practice.

My goal for 2012 is to find my own little sketching voice. Whether it’s drawing illustrations or landscapes or portraits or whatever. I would like to play with different mediums, shapes, sizes, types and get to a place where I can create drawings of my own. My own ideas, my own style.

Let’s see if it works out!
