Annie in graphite...

Here is a finished drawing of Annie Belle.

Monday, August 1, 2011

Well, I finished this drawing in time to take it to the Mn. State Fair Fine Arts Building. I took it in on Friday, even though I had until Sunday afternoon to get it in. I could have worked for weeks longer to get everything right, but I didn’t, and I will find out by this Thursday if the judges liked it or not. I’m trying very hard to Not get my hopes up. So, which ever way the judges decide, I was able to finish it, and I’m okay with it.

Because I had a deadline and was able to meet it, it has given me the desire to keep on drawing. I’m mostly done with my collie Annie, and after that I will be starting one of my middle child when he was a toddler.

Here is Ethan finished, and I’ll post good or bad news on Thursday.

Ethan continued…

I’ve been hard at work on this drawing. I’m pretty sure I’ll be finished with it by the 28th of July.

I reworked the mouth several times and I still don’t have it right, but I have time (sort of). There are many, many more layers to put on and half as many to take off.

Ethan…

I drew Kira and I drew Andy. I made a scrapbook for Kira and I have most of Andy’s done. I have a lot of baby pictures of Kira and quite a few of Andy.

Then there is Ethan…I have his scrapbook, but there are no pages in it yet. I have baby pictures of him but not nearly as many as the first two, mainly because my camera was stolen. I had started a drawing of him years ago but never finished it, so I Finally started over and here is what it looks like, in the beginning!
