  • Sketch: The cutest little dino I saw (see what I did there? Teehee!).

    Kat Johnston Sketch: Isn’t he adorable? He’s a dino! Well, I think he is… he was made out of alfoil.

    Here we go… a dino! What made me draw a dinosaur, you ask? Oh what a wonderful question, says I! Actually, I was just waiting for my lunch to go ‘ding!’ in the microwave, and something caught my eye. How better to pass the time than to do a little impromtu sculpting in the alfoil just sitting there all neat and tidy in its roll. So I did.

    It wasn’t exactly the most accomplished alfoil sculpting – after all, how much can you do in a minute with a 30cm by 30cm square of alfoil? Actually, don’t answer that one… I’m sure there are some ultra-talented people out there who would consider that a most fantastic sort of challenge. Me though, I generally stick with the drawing, and the painting when I can poke my nose into my studio.

    So once my little knobbley lump of alfoil had been so carefully completed and the microwave had finished proclaiming its ability to affectively heat pasta, the piece of alfoil was tossed away… but I couldn’t let it end there. That dinosaur was nice enough to form itself out of the alfoil, the least I could do was let it live on in a way that would do it a touch of justice. Thus, I drew him down, and that is the result that you see before you today.

    Oh… and the pasta was super-tasty too!

  • Just a little Dotty Today.

    Kat Johnston Sketch - Jenny Again! Just a little dotty today... and shorter pig-tails too.

    Another quick one today… and another Jenny! I really should expand into showing her whole body one day, or at least put her in a different pose occasionally… but up until now (and still now) I just love the nice little simplicity of leaving her as she is. Jenny rocks. If you want to see something interesting, try having a click on the ‘Jenny’ category to see how she’s looked before, and how she’s changed here and there… her head is certainly starting to even out in a slightly more square shape than it started out, and I think she’s gotten a little slimmer *laughs*. I think I’ll find it interesting to click on that one after Jenny has featured a few more times… see if she normalizes into a more ‘set’ form.

    This piccie was drawn as I was waiting to have my little one on one interview with my lecturer to get an assignment back (procedure for that class, not a special case for me). The interviews were running an hour late. Could not believe how long it was taking. Had to make use of the time somehow, I suppose!

    I currently have two little sketchbooks in my bag to take around wherever I go. They don’t actually get pulled out while out-and-about all that much, if just running errands or things of that nature. Waiting for people to come out of a lecture theature, getting growingly annoyed at someone who is impulsively tapping the wall and lamenting the fact that you actually half-jogged your way to get to the appointment on time only to be left waiting an hour later, though… they can come in handy.
