Karin & the EDM Challenge

100 - Draw or paint a landscape

2009-03-30T21:15:00.000-07:00

Guess this fits the criteria. It's been a really long time since I've put anything up, I've been so stinking busy. I did finally get my job that I love. I'm teaching at ITT. I love it! and... it allows me time to create! How could it get any better than that?

Week 29 Challenge, Architecture

2008-06-10T18:58:00.000-07:00

Well alrighty now, it's been such a long time since I've been able to put anything up. Or even keep track of what everyone else is doing. *sigh, working two jobs can do that to a person. Draw a piece of architecture, what a joke, I tried doing this about six months ago. Ended up ripping it apart, architecture and perspective are definitely not my thing.
But now I'm teaching a drawing class and the final assignment was to draw a two-point perspective. *sigh, I felt that I really needed to do this assignment myself. So I tried it again.
Hmmmm, well, it's certainly not the best, but certainly way better than my first attempt six months ago. Maybe I could draw for Dr. Seuss books instead!

#33~ Draw an eye

2008-03-10T10:59:00.000-07:00

I've been practicing eyes to help me with a painting project. A series that my art buddies say I should do.. Don't know, I mean, it's rather hard coming up with different ideas that are still the same.. Does that make sense? Anyway, it feels kind of nice, to finally have something to put up.

#28~ Draw an Appliance

2008-03-05T20:24:00.000-08:00

Well, it's been a very long while since I've posted anything. I guess I find it easier to draw my cartoons for my ink blot. Well anyway, this is an ATC that I've done as one of my trades and found that it would fit this drawing challenge as well. Hopefully, I won't be such a stranger and can get more challenges done.

Spray Bottle

2007-08-21T19:37:00.000-07:00

Good grief.. I'm so far behind with my drawing, it isn't even funny... Creating art is not easy when you have Bells Palsy and are in a lot of pain. As I was recovering from that, I ended up landing a new job. Way cool though and worth all the pain. I'm now working as a graphic designer at a photography studio. But I have been really busy with work now. But hopefully I'm back on track with my challenges.
This is my response to the challenge "Spray Bottle". Definitely easier than the sponge... that's all I gotta say!

Sponge

2007-07-04T20:54:00.000-07:00

Okay... I don't know who suggested drawing a sponge.. but I do know~ I do NOT like drawing a sponge...! I was ready to chuck it all and just draw Spongebob... *sigh... I didn't, I did pull out my watercolors so I could draw my sponge... Well, now isn't that rather boring...? So I included more of my watercolor supplies to at least try to make a more interesting picture... and for the record, I almost didn't put this on my blog, I dislike it that much!

EDM Bird Challenge

2007-07-01T11:14:00.000-07:00

This is my first challenge that I've done for Everyday Matters... Birds.. I love owls, always have. I even collect them, although I do try to keep my collection to the more unusual owl.
I never thought about drawing them, so this is my attempt.. You know what they say, birds of a feather flock together..

Well? What are you waiting for? Get started!
