Sketchbook Pages

I am beginning the process of scanning and editing all my favorite pages from my piles of sketchbooks from over the years. I am planning on putting together a collection of them in a book, but first I am going to digitally edit and color them.

These are a few of the original scanned pages, pre-editing.

New Digital Illustration

This is my latest illustration, which I call "Penny". She loves to crochet with plarn, hates orange flavored things, and is has a subscription to Geology Today.

Speaking of plarn, here is a good site for some inspiration:  my recycled bags .com

I am excited about this illustration, as it is one of the first few successful drawings I've done lately that have been completely done with my Wacom digital writing tablet. I have been using it to color and edit original ink drawings for months, but kept feeling too shaky when trying to create illustrations directly from hand to computer. Looking at the screen while your hand draws on the tablet in front of you takes time to get used to!

I think I've finally gotten the hang of it in a way where the outcome looks almost indistinguishable from the look of my non-digital pen drawings, which is what I've been wanting.
