One Last “Office” Drawing: Dawn

This is the last in this “The Office” series of drawings. Here is the long suffering Dawn Tinsley played by Lucy Davis. She’s the gal who gives zombie impersonation lessons in Shaun of the Dead. Fun movie by the way. I really love doing these achromatic pieces. I know most people love color, but I’mContinue reading “One Last “Office” Drawing: Dawn”

More “The Office” Drawings

I got such lovely responses for my last “The Office” drawings that I sat down and did some more. Here’s my drawing of Ricky Gervais as David Brent, “a motivator and an entertainer.” I had a really difficult time with this and I’m still not pleased. I was really trying to get that fake smileContinue reading “More “The Office” Drawings”

Goofing Around: My BBC “The Office” Drawings

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon the old BBC television show “The Office”. I’m always watching these old television shows way after they’ve been off the air and nobody else cares. The DVDs were at the library and I figured why not give it a try. The first episode put me in a stateContinue reading “Goofing Around: My BBC “The Office” Drawings”

More Public Drawing: EDM 60-Draw an Auto

Here is a sketch I did the other day while sitting outside of my favorite coffee shop. I’ve always had trouble drawing cars. I think it’s because I’m not really interested in them. But I realized that I could do this for Everyday Matters Challenge 60-draw an automobile, or part of one. It was funContinue reading “More Public Drawing: EDM 60-Draw an Auto”

Popcorn – EDM Challenge 158

Another quick post. Popcorn is so strange. But it’s really fun to draw. It’s another one of those things that I’ve never really looked at. That’s pretty sad considering all the handfuls of popcorn that I’ve shoved into my face in my lifetime. It’s totally sunny and 70 today. I can’t keep up with theContinue reading “Popcorn – EDM Challenge 158”

Turn Out Your Pockets

I haven’t done anything this week that isn’t, well, let’s just say rhymes with clap. So today I decided that I would just empty my jeans pocket and draw whatever I found. I promised myself that I would post it no matter what it looked like. It’s not the greatest drawing I’ve ever done, butContinue reading “Turn Out Your Pockets”

Something To Be Thankful For

I’ve been gone for a while, but I’ve had a wonderful week! Birthday celebrations (mine), guests from out of town and a general sense of well-being that comes from looking in the mirror and realizing that even though I’ve grown a year old, I still don’t have any crow’s feet. YES!!! Life is good. NowContinue reading “Something To Be Thankful For”

More Drawing in Public

I tried drawing while I was in line getting my driver’s license renewed. This guy was really fidgety so he grabbed my attention. He looks a lot more patient in the drawing. The whole time I was drawing these guys in the back were laughing and talking. I got so paranoid. I knew they couldn’tContinue reading “More Drawing in Public”

My Favorite Tool

This is my entry for Everyday Matters challenge 16. It’s my Leatherman tool and it’s got needlenose pliers, a straight knife, scissors, three screwdrivers, a phillips screwdriver, a bottle opener and a corkscrew. When it’s folded up it’s around 3 inches (8cm) but it weighs a ton. I think my husband and I got thisContinue reading “My Favorite Tool”
