I've been quite busy with design projects, home projects and a growing bun in the oven. I plan to feature some of my latest work in future posts, as well as begin an interview series highlighting inspiring artists and illustrators. Lots to look forward to!
But for now, I take us back through my sketchbook. Many times—to me at least—a sketch can be more exciting and interesting than a final piece of art. I've always favored sketching the human figure and portraits, and my many sketchbooks are filled with them. More recently, however, I've found myself drawing buildings and interior spaces, something that always seemed too tedious to me. I love the character and life that quick strokes and exaggerated colors have given to these structures. They might not be as precise or as planned as my architect husband's sketches, but they make me happy.
The image of the staircase was done during my first maternity leave, and the others during vacations. Sometimes that's the only extra time I get to just draw! Here's hoping my upcoming maternity leave is full of sketching as well.
How do you make time to do your favorite things?
