September 2013: First of Pineapple Guavas

 These amazingly fragrant fruits are full of soft and tasty happiness and just started to ripen!

September 2013: Flower and Tree

This flower was way taller than me, and this tree not that much. Stood one by another, me in between, waiting for the bell to ring.

September 2013: Some notes about my day.

I enjoy autumn light a lot - though I cannot capture it as well as I would like to, I try almost every day.

Shorter Days

Longer evenings :)
p.s. we made some acorn hats candles! They don't last too long but are pretty cool as they sail in a jar of water.

September 2013: Treasures

Acorns are slowly getting browner and fewer. Orange leaves are more.

September 2013: Treasures

This branch was huge! and fell apart on the way home - hence two pieces :)

September 2013: Weekend

Autumn weekends are very different from the summer ones. But not entirely so.

I ran out of ink in the middle of the sketch - but it was for the best :)

Another post about "Before and After"

I carry stack of printer paper with me to sketch quick poses and then select a few to tape in m sketchbook. This way I am not afraid of "wasting paper" on quick gestures - the only way to draw kids when they are awake (and when they are sleeping sometimes too) and I can leave my 20 lb sketchbook at home (it's not that bad and I actually really like it - but people are making fun of me a bit because of this album's size :)

My Life Drawing Class Continues

I tried to deviate from pure motion sketches this time but forgot to mention this to my models - they kept punching and kicking.

Before and After

I took a snapshot of my working process to share with the final spread.

My Life Drawing Class

My current sketchbook is a bit heavy to carry around 24x7 so sometimes I have only a few pieces of paper with me for example to work on quick poses. Most of those meet with the recycling bin on a same day but sometimes something is worth taping in the actual album.

September 2013: New Friends

New flowers in my pots. Watering bird working hard - September is a hot month around here.

New Sketchbook

I started a new sketchbook - it's an experiment with even larger size and light but watercolor paper. It's gorgeous. Heavy. Red and Black. With decorated cover. It's numbered 77.
