If this little fellow looks familiar, that’s because he originally featured in one of my In the Style of… posts (click here to see it). The photograph is a bit of a favourite and so I thought I’d see how he looked in a different medium. Even though the background didn’t go quite as planned, I’m pretty happy with how the sparrow turned out.
“It was amazing what an hour with her sketchpad could do for her mood. She was sure that the lines she drew with her black marker were going to save her years of worry lines in the future.” Victoria Kahler, Their Friend Scarlet
“Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.” Camille Pissarro
“What we see depends mainly on what we look for.” John Lubbock
My thanks to KG for making me aware of this quote.
Today’s Shoot it, Sketch it is from a sketchbook I started three years ago. It was meant to be a gift for someone but I misjudged how long it would take to fill the 36-page Moleskine. I got about halfway through the journal before realising that I wasn’t going to finish it in time. And that was that. Momentum lost. Project abandoned.
Maybe it’s time I picked it up again…
We all know that the very best thing about having rules is breaking them (we do know that, don’t we?)… so today’s Shoot it, Sketch it is based on a digital landscape rather than a photograph. ‘Bryce Island’ is an image I made with 3D modelling software way back in 2002.
