More Sketches

Remember when I talked about Andrea Joseph last week? Well, if it’s at all possible, I’ve gotten even more obsessed that I was last week. I’ve been saving all the sketches she’s done that speak to me and using one a day to make my own. I am nowhere near as talented as she is but she’s the first person who inspired me this much in a long long long time. And I am deeply grateful that I am sketching daily all thanks to her.

On Friday, I decided to try my hands at this and here’s my version.

and then on Saturday I did the can of sardines:

and Sunday I tried the Adidas sneakers. Here’s the drawing:

and shaded.

on Monday, I wanted to do something less time consuming since I have work but I didn’t want to skip it, so I did the travel toothbrush:

Tuesday was all about the zipper. This one is much harder than it looks.

I have a long long way to go but I have finally found my happy place where I have her sketches to inspire me so I can really really practice. After I’ve done a whole bunch, I can venture to do things in my house but I am so in need of practice and I am deeply grateful to Andrea for her amazing inspiration. By the way, if you think she’s as amazing as I do she has an etsy shop. (I don’t know Andrea at all, just a fan.)

Here’s to more and more sketching!

Still Sketching

About a week ago I discovered Andrea Joseph who blew my mind. She’s absolutely amazing and she inspired me to sketch. And right before that I had watched this amazing video and I had already decided to sketch daily after that. So when I found Andrea, that was it. I just started to sit and do it.

I did this ball using the tutorials here.

then I made a bottle.

the buttons were inspired by this.

and the pens are also inspired by her:

I did one while waiting for David’s bus and then added another later.

and then I tried the shoes.

I made one yesterday and one today.

Going slowly. Just trying to give it 30mins a day and see if I can progress. I love being inspired.
