Scribbling Through the Years

I've been drawing for as long as I can remember.
 When I was in grade school, I confess sketching along the borders of my math pages instead of working the problems, and any spare time in school was spent drawing whatever was on my mind. (Which was NEVER the lesson. *cough* I really was a straight 'A' student, somehow)
 It's really quite amusing to go through my old drawings every now and then, laughing at the strange looking figures on paper.
 I'm not quite ready to share my super old ones, (probably never will be. Some are literally eight years old) but I would like to share how my art has improved in just two years.
 These are taken with a phone's camera, and cameras seem to make my drawings look a little weird, so please excuse the terrible photos.

These are from my sketchbook, which I got two years ago. 

Her head is a little large, isn't it? 

Here I was practicing expressions

Another expression

You'll find that my favorite subject is the Old West. *chuckles*

This is from the Louis L'Amour book 'Shalako'

Another Louis L'Amour

Echo Sackett from 'Ride the River' by (any guesses?) Louis L'Amour

Now we are getting closer to this year

I really like this one *smiles* 

'Kilkenny' by Louis L'Amour

And now we are to the present time. 

I have started sketching my characters 

from my books, and this is one couple

This one looks much better in real life.... Oh, well

Some more characters

And another couple from my imagination. Lol

This is my latest. I'm pretty excited how it turned out! *wide grins*

This is Jim Rogers, son of the movie cowboy Will Rogers

What do you think? 

Have I improved? 

Which drawing is your favorite?

Busy, Busy

So I've been pretty busy these last few days.
 I've been babysitting a sweet little boy for eight days, overnight, and even though he is a very happy boy, he still can be a lot of work, especially at nights.
 Just getting a small taste of motherhood. ;)
But I am going to miss the angel now that's he's gone.
 There is something about a little baby that brightens up your day, even if you've been getting up all night to stop him from crying.
 But most of the nights he actually slept all night, so it wasn't bad. :)
I've also been busy trying to get ready for the Memorial Day Campout this weekend, and when you go in such a large group, it can be pretty stressful.
 Yesterday we finally got all of the groceries bought, we figured out our transportation, and I got my money for paying at the entrance, so I'd say we are coming along fine. :D

I've been sketching again, something I haven't done in quite a while. Decided to try out different eras of makeup. This is forties. :)

twenties and thirties :)

These are done with pencils and an ink pen. Wanted to try something different.

 

Well, sorry, but that's all I've got to say for now. :)

Will try to do a post on the campout, if Daminika doesn't beat me to it. ;)

 

God's peace,
