Game Night

Sketched a few friends at game night and this is the end result. I'd like to add about a dozen more things but I've decided I need to move on.

my favorite thing to do in sacrament meeting - take notes/sketch the back of peoples heads

light pencil really doesnt scan well - sorry

1st sketch

Last night I started a painting based on that 1st sketch. So far so good, I suppose. I need to adjust some values and paint the light side of the dress... I wish the gesture was better

Sketch 3- All We Like Sheep

I finally decided to try to keep the picture simple. It came out well enough that I think it might one day be a decent painting. Drawing that sheep was a good time. I've been reading about climate change and was thinking about how our current generation is a lot like sheep in the face of disaster. We don't have a very good idea how to respond even as we begin to raise the next generation. Thanks to these thoughts I had that chorus from Handle's Messiah "All We Like Sheep" going round and round in my head while I drew. That chorus can get mighty annoying.

So this almost relates to my theme "in flight." I'm going to change the balloons to oranges and send this to sunkist. Grab your umbrellas kids it's raining citrus!
