offcntrIt's October--well, it's been October. Practically November, at this point. But I'm once again doing an October drawing challenge, my fifth. Hence the Roman numeral V on my title page.
Because I've hardly gotten out to go anywhere except Clay Fest and the studio, most of my drawings are from online pictures of birds and animals. Good practice, I suppose, for my pottery decorating. As before, I made my own sketchbook, this time using a faux-leather effect cover from a technique Denise learned last spring at Newport. It's actually brown kraft paper, crumpled and stained black on the back side, then colored with successive washes of acrylic on the front. The spine is an old silk tie converted to bookcloth that I picked up at a materials exchange some years back and wanted to put to use.
Here's week one and two:
More to come!
