  • Life Drawing / Sketch: The morning after.

    Kat Johnston Sketch: A nude I drew last night… perhaps I shouldn’t put the word nude in here. Googling might get a whole lot more fun.

    Mmmm, I am starting to enjoy the wonders of raspberry tea right now. It is both tasty and delicious. That is what I am drinking as I sit here this morning, doing this post.

    So I think that it is going to become required to put up at least one picture a week that results from my life-drawing thingies on Wednesday nights, provided that I go to them. This is one of my picks from this week. Yup, I’m going a full nude this time, but surely the world can take it? It’s just a few lines on a page, after all.

    I actually played around a bit with artistic license on this particular sketch. It was nearing the end of the session, and the girl just seemed a bit exhausted, and I have to admit, I was kinda getting to that point too. My back was being an utter pain in the… uhhh… back!

    So anyhow, yes… it isn’t true to the person laying there, in that she doesn’t have hair that covers most of her face, or looked completely and utterly bushed… but I am happy with it. Of course there are errors, but hey, as I keep trying to tell myself, what can be expected from a 15 – 20 minute sketch? I’m almost tempted to refine this one into something better, later.

    That’s about it for this morning, though I might post another picture later too, if I have anything to say, or a reason to say it. For now, I had best get into the day and try to start it properly.

  • Sketch / Digital: My Ballerina with a touch of colour.

    Kat Johnston Sketch: A touch of colour on one of my previous sketches… because I can’t scan anything in today!

    So right now the printer/scanner/copier isn’t yet set up in our ‘new’ computer room, while the rumpus dries out. I honestly think that the flooding downstairs has somewhat killed both my husband’s and my desire to have things down in that room now – at least within reach of possible flooding… again. That, and it smells like mildew. Eww!

    So instead of a ‘new’ sketch today, you’re getting one of my older ones with a touch of colour! This was started a little while back, and since I have it handy, it can go up for today’s sketchy offering. I’d go a little further on it, but surprise surprise… the wacom hasn’t made it upstairs again either! Ah well. Things should get back to normal soon, I guess.

    Happy weekend, guys! Aren’t you glad it has arrived?

  • Lady of the Flies.

    Kat Johnston - Lord of the flies move over, there is a new Lady in town.

    There we go, I have put up a picture drawn today after all. How’s that for commitment for you? Today’s subject: Lady of the Flies. Complete with antennae.

    Just as an interesting side-note, they can not be true flies in my picture. According to Wiki’s page on flies, true flies only have two wings. Although there are other insects that might have fly in the name, such as mayflies or fireflies, they are not, in fact, true flies as they have more than one set of wings. Hows that for some interesting trivia for you? Oh, and, uhhhh, yes… I did just go and look that up.
