Meek Page 14: Confidential Party

Happy Saturday! Latest sketch... I've been putting this one together for a while. One thing you probably don't know yet is that I have multiple sketches going on at once. It's makes things more interesting. The "eleven twenty" part is actually a time (p.m.) that is special. My favorite part has to be the girl in the bottom corner being choked my vines of ivy. Again I used both pencil and pigment liners, but no color this time.




Oh, and birthday outfit: Check! Off to enjoy the weather!

Meek Page 13: Sexes

More color! A little bit of worried love, some dancing, some sadness, a few pensive faces, and some super cliche quotes about the sexes. I'm very happy with it. I used pencil, black pigment liners, and a little bit of blue watercolor. It all started with the woman in the upper right corner, if it matters.

As a little side note, I found this art project on Lubov's Column today. I love this song and the animation is amazing.

Sunday Doodle 1

This a little charcoal sketch that I did while talking to my brother on the phone without really thinking about it. When I finished I realized it resembled him just a bit. Looks like him just a little, but it reminds me of him a lot!

Meek Page 12: Let's sketch about love...

Just like I promised, here is the final love themed sketch (based on certain friends and acquaintances and their love lives). I kept adding little bits here and there for 3 days now! But, I think I can calm down and let this be the final version. I decided to mix pencil and pen again. I also finally added some color (it's not much... but I'm taking baby steps). This sketch is a collage of many images I've seen over the past 2 weeks but tweaked a little to fit the picture I was going for. Some parts are my own ideas.

It's been a nice week without blogging, even though I've been itching to get back! Now that the craziness is over, I'm back :)

I also had an idea for a sunday doodle series... which will begin tomorrow!


P.S. I finally signed and dated my sketch! I really should do that more often!

Meek Page 11: Meek Lions

Lucky No. 11! Here is the eleventh sketch of my journal which I finished this afternoon. It will also be the new Meek Lions blog header. [Click on it to see a larger version for the details.] The other week my friend asked me why are the lions specifically "meek"? Well, as I mention in my profile on the right, it's an anagram for the journal I use. Have you guessed it? Fine, I'll give it away! I use a Moleskine and I love it. The color of the pages, the thickness of the pages, the leather cover, and practically everything else about it. For anyone that's interested, meek does not mean weak, even though it does rhyme nicely. So these aren't weak lions at all. They just don't adhere to stereotypes.


Going to start another one soon (love themed). I'm getting some interesting ideas from the love lives of my girl friends.

P.S.
Since I don't have a scanner I have to take photos of the sketches which REALLY throws off the color of the pages. I think I will begin considering buying one.

Meek Page 10: Keys can open, keys can close

At last I'm done with sketching keys and five dolled up women. I started out wanting to draw dolls, but instead sketched some love struck women and added a hot air balloon (in pencil). The rest of the entry is in pen. I played around with shading in some parts but nothing serious. As promised, the theme is now tied to love. I had the most fun drawing the four women connected by the hair.

As a side note, I (really) need to work on my handwriting.

As a side note to the side note, this is my 10th sketch posted!!

Meek Page 7: Fourteen femme faces

This is just a compilation of different women, different emotions, different faces. Inspiration came from the hundreds of drawings I've seen of women. I don't have a particular style that I like best when drawing people and this entry makes that clear.

Meek Page 2: Thought paths and trees

My second entry in the book and the last one without a specific theme. The next ones will have noticeable (although not according to everyone... so I might add some of my thoughts), overarching themes.

Happy Mother's Day to all the past, present, and future mamas!

Meek Page 1: First One...

This sketchbook pulls these things out of me.


Happy May 9th! Den' Pobedi!!
