My "Watered-Down" Sketch Pad :(

I am only posting this because Jason wants me to. I had a sketch book that was kind of my pride and joy - a while ago. It was in the trunk of my car for a bit and my trunk flooded... the sketch book sort of dried, but we had to throw it away. I haven't drawn much since, but the drawings that were in that book were some of my best that I was drawing (or had drawn) for other people. Here are some of those pictures that were in that book:


This image is from a National Geographic photograph. It was my first attempt at drawing with carbon pencils. Before I was able to complete it, the cat walked across it... jerk. :)




These two images are rough drafts of the same project (believe it or not). They are of my best friend who passed away in 2002: Michael Warner. Regretfully, I never completed the project and never gave it to his family.


This image is of the Savior. It was just to get the feel of "painting" with the carbon pencils.


Was going to be a self-portrait.


A portrait of my sister and brother-in-law. It was completed at one time, but they didn't like it and asked me to make a zillion changes. I just never got around to finishing it the second time.


This one is supposed to be a Young Woman looking at the Liahona. I drew it for a boy I had a HUGE crush on just before he left to be a counselor at EFY. I did finish this one, this was just a draft of it.

So, that's just some junk from my sketchbook. It's history, except for these few images. Maybe one day I will pick up the pencil and start sketching again.
