Sketchbook Revival : part 2

Sidewalk Crack - Grasshopper

Continuing on with the "Sketchbook Revival" online workshop ... I worked on Day 1: Session 2 - Sidewalk Cracks: A Creativity Starter" with Carla Sonheim.  I found this photo of a sidewalk crack online & developed it into a grasshopper munching on a leaf.  

This was a fun session, however I did work with sidewalk cracks previously when I was working in Carla Sonheim's book, "Drawing Lab for Mixed-Media Artists", several years ago.

Here is one of my sidewalk crack drawings from 2010:

 And here it is colored:

I still have several sessions to work through.  This is keeping me motivated to play and make art every day.

Lab 38 : Sidewalk Crack Drawings

Inspired by Drawing Lab for Mixed-Media Artists: Lab 38
"Little Bear Takes a Nap"

Flipping through my copy of the book, I saw the Lab on sidewalk crack drawings - and the photo on page 102 of the sidewalk cracks.   This image immediately jumped out at me & I had to capture it right away!

Here is the drawing at the finished stage.   I colored it with Indian ink pens and scanned it.   I then added a digital "texture" to the fur.
