Sketchcrawl #18





I went on my second Worldwide Sketchcrawl yesterday http://www.sketchcrawl.com/. Can you imagine people in 50 cities all mobilized at the same time to sketch the world as they see it? I am so priviledged to have had the chance to enjoy sketching in the glorious city of San Francisco. And, WOW, the number of talented and experienced artists that show up is incredible! Me, I just bumble along with my amateur sketches, enjoying the heck out of it!

Martha http://www.trumpetvine.com/ and I could have spent all day in the lobby of the charming Argonaut Hotel http://www.argonauthotel.com/index.html I am glad I got to see it again, as it was the first hotel that Charles and I stayed in when we began the process of moving to the Bay area, fours years ago. We are moving back to Texas in April so it was nice to have a little farewell sketching of the hotel and the city. The lobby is a design feast--every detail is impeccable. The furniture is all oversized and makes the place feel fantasy-like.

Stop by every now and then. My sketches will surely change flavor, as I start sketching my home state of Texas. Plus, Martha and I plan to meet around the globe for our own mini-crawls. How lucky I am to have made such a good friend in this world of sketching!

These sketches are just a tiny bit of how I saw San Francisco ...

EDM Draw a tree



I recorded "Planet Earth" on the Discovery Channel. If you have not seen it, try to find a way. I paused the recording and drew this. I haven't been to Madagascar, but this is how I see it.

EDM Draw Your Phone


Just a fast "Everyday Matters" sketch. I see this device in my sleep since that is the business I am in.

Draw someone's hands-EDM sketch



I drew my husband's hand. He says his hands look like sausages and that I captured that. :-O

EDM Draw your glasses



Another Everyday matters sketch suggestion. Takes a couple of minutes--funny to see what my glasses look like--WITHOUT them. Note to self--make eye doc appt to get contacts.

EDM



I grew up with a creek in my back yard and know the sound of cicadas very well. Their life story is phenomenal--as well as their contribution to the planet. In real life, they are not this colorful. But, this is how I see them.
