The final carving for 30 Days of Carving! I chose a big eraser that I love. I’m going to be sad when I run out of these because they are great to carve. I’ve got them in different sizes and this one is 3″ x 1.5″. I only did two sketches because when I finished […]

I really like the bold, graphic look of the three sketches I did, but I chose the middle one. The size of the eraser is 1″ x 2.5″. When I designed the one I chose to use, I did make sure that all of the edges would match for doing a repeating design both horizontally […]

I have gone through 2 sketchbooks now with this project! I needed another, and since I like to make books, I decided to make my own. I used the covers from a kid’s book for the covers, and filled it with 90 lb watercolor paper. I used a mix of Canson Watercolor paper and inexpensive […]

I got mixed up on Day 25 when I said I was too pooped to do any sketches. I actually did a lot of sketches that day because I went to a life drawing open studio session at the university. (I never moved away after college, so I live in the same town as the […]
