A few new quick sketches

I made myself a new sketchbook. I'll have to take some pictures. I used this paper that I got in Chicago that's gold and green and so elegant. I haven't used it much yet, but I just made it last Friday, I believe. Even if I do something that takes me ten minutes, I'll be happy. The only problem is that I get annoyed when I sketch something that turns out hideous, and then I get frustrated and hide my book away. But I need to learn that I'll create hideous stuff sometimes. I have to accept it, and move on.

Here are two quick sketches I did last night. I was reminded of when I was a little girl and I would draw myself wedding dresses, over and over. I love clothes so much! So I thought I'd do an exercise with that. I really need to practice my form. I wasn't trying to draw them proportionately, but they just look silly!





That second one is actually similar to an outfit I bought this weekend, but I'm still looking for a good hat.

And I did this quickly at work today. Rob brought me flowers yesterday, so I thought I'd take a short break from work and sketch a little bit. If I had some more time I'd put a lot more detail in there.



I hope to fill up that book quickly!
