Happy Autumn!!

I am sorry I forgot to tell you guys sooner, I've just been a bit occupied. I remembered today for a few reasons. Mostly, because it happened to be one of those fuzzy-sock wearing, cocoa-drinking, drawing and doodling sort of days. I've wrapped myself in a blanket and just felt cozy, which I adore. And, after I went outside to draw "something from Nature" for my art class, I really needed the cocoa.

I've been plotting sketchbook covers, since my moleskins are thin and plain, so not only will I get to decorate them, but I'll also go through them more rapidly than other sketchbooks.

I feel as though I haven't been terribly productive today. I've spoken to Sam and a Myriad of other wonderful people, and caught up on my blogs. That reminds me, I think you should check out Jessica's blog. She's an artist as well, doing a lot of painting, as well as other wonderful and arty things. She seems to think a lot like I do. Show her some love. Part of me wonders if I haven't posted any practice paintings of people, because I envy her ability to paint skin. Like, until my shadows and highlights are as smooth as hers, I won't feel up to par. Oh well, haha, here I go again, comparison after comparison. :P

Oh, and there is one more thing I did today. I MADE CUPCAKES! Chocolate ones, with this delicious chocolate filling that Jacq gave me the recipe for, and chocolate frosting on top. I enjoy baking, and tomorrow will be the second time I'm bringing cupcakes to school, for my friends, for no reason other then, because I can. Now, to actually finish a drawing for Illustration Friday this week.

With love,

Sarah

Filmy

I've had 2 full rolls of film, and a single-use disposable camera developed. I'm currently in the process of scanning the dozen or so photos from the film, that I don't despise. Unfortunatly, my scanner is jank, and I can only get one or two photos scanned, before it give me the finger. So, Below you can see the first three, and I'll link to the film stream of my flickr. I'll mention each time I upload more. Any suggestions, crits, ect would be greatly appreciated. I've no idea what I'm doing.

Click each for the flickr page.

Oh, and the film stream is here, my page being here.

With love,

Sarah

Come Out And Play With Me

So, Monday I spent my day running around a playground and some stores with some of my kick ass friends. Only 3 could hang, but school starts in 2 days, so I will get to see them ALL in no time. I didn't take as many shots as I usually do, but below you can see the photo of the day, and links to the rest of the photos I posted on deviantart.

Let's pretend this is a Catchy title, that makes you wanna read this and look at the pictures and drawings

So, today I got to teach an oboe lesson to an awesome 8 year old, who kicks arse, and then my friend Sam and I spent a couple hours outside walking, as I took 300 photos of him. We learned some stuff;
1- Don't sit by a bus stop, even by mistake. Drivers get pissed when they stop for you and you walk away.
2- Football players are afraid of the rain.
3- Always bring change for a payphone.
4- The Parkinglot that includes biglots is now called "The Lot."
Of the 300+ photos I took of him, so far, I like five.

Also, here are some drawings, from lotus and not. Because I can, really. And I finally remembered to take photos of them, since the scanner doesn't work atm. -_-

I'm done uploading to deviantart, and I've caught up on my blog reading. So, gute nacht. Time for bed, little sheep little sheep...... Pffft who am I kidding? I'm gonna draw and light paint :P

With love,

Sarah
