salty VBS projects

As promised here is one salt shaker. It's pen and ink. I couldn't find a pencil when I started sketching, and my muse had been used up on the puppet and VBS project....so I just had to get through it....someone once told me art becomes something more when it's created even without a muse.....

thanks for restarting this.

Monster Puppet Musings

Well, I don't have a salt shaker, but i do have some sketches of a monster puppet I want to build. I definitely have a personality in mind for him, but I'm curious to see what you think he'd be like. I also have a VBS project to post, and then I'll get to the salt shaker. They're coming soon.

CHALLENGE: Salt Shaker

Ours can't all be the same. Or you could do one on your napkin next time you are eating out.

How about one speed pic, one carefully done, and one more of your choice of media, color, style, etc? Let's shoot for June 18. Or sooner if you have any ready.

FF PERSISTANCE Pine Cones

Pine cones are one the hardest things I've ever drawn. Such a complexity of shape and shadow. I couldn't get it right. I ended up tracing their sun shadows. Then I drew a silhouette. Then tore one apart and drew the parts. I'm still working on this subject. The order is from the bottom up.
