From My Sketchbook: October Doodles

October 28, 2015 | terriaw

In order to fill up more sketchbooks, which is on my bucket list for 2015, I’m having fun coming up with new drawing prompts, so I’ve been trying to sketch A LOT more lately. One thing I’m doing is a monthly calendar, but instead of using it like a diary, I’m using it to do a daily doodle.

For the month of October, I worked on a theme centered around the spookiness of October. I have to admit that I always have the most fun concepting and illustrating the initial grid with the borders and hand-lettering.

As you can see, I usually just fill up every square in this grid, rather than just the days of the month. And now it’s time to move on to November!

Afternoon Hike

October 26, 2015 | terriaw

It’s been over a month since I’ve been on the hiking trails! Life can get busy at times, and I forget to stop, take a deep breath and listen to the quiet in the woods.

It always feels good to step away from the computer, get some exercise and breath in the fresh air. Often times, I end up doing a little treasure hunt, looking for a variety of colors, shapes, textures and patterns.

It was just the mental pick-me-up I needed for a Monday afternoon! Happy hiking!

Tiny Art: Week 4

October 12, 2015 | terriaw

I’ve managed to keep up with creating a new tiny piece of art almost every day lately.

It’s fun to experiment on such a small canvas (2.5″ x 3.5″) with watercolors and gouache, along with Micron pens, a Tombow marker and white gel pen to add a few details.

Here’s week 4, days 22-28.
You can follow my progress on Instagram as I participate in Victoria Johnson’s project called A Little Art, where you create a tiny piece of art everyday. These tiny pieces of art measure 2.5″ x 3.5″ or scraps of watercolor paper leftover from other projects.

Happy tiny drawing and painting!
