Sketch Book Project- First Two Completed!

I  just wanted to share the first two sketches that I have completed in my sketch book for the Sketch Book Project.

Unfortunately my main drawing time is on my breaks at work, so I am eating and drawing! And, as you can see, I got something on that poor guys face and the graphite has totally stuck to it... oh well kinda looks like he has a mole, right? I also have some pictures of my completed linoleum cutting, which I will be making some prints from next Friday before it goes away forever. (notice it is the same kissing couple as my second sketch!)

I forgot to mention on my weekly update post that I went to a show. I saw Civil Twilight, Crash Kings and Anberlin. It was an awesome show, Civil Twilight was amazing. I don't think I have ever seen a band perform live that sounds exactly like the album. After their performance they manned their own table selling shirts and Cd's, so I purchased a t-shirt and let them know that I thought their show was amazing! It was like the days of old when I would go to shows all the time and talk to the bands and have them sign my poster. Which I did, I had Civil Twilight sign my poster. I feel like I'm thirteen all over again...

A Week in Review

First off, let me apologize, we are nearing mid semester and I have been a busy girl! I have also decided to participate in The Sketch Book Project so I have been spending my spare time drawing in my little sketch book. I will not get to keep it, so I will be taking photos of my sketches to document my work, so I will post some soon. You should definitely check out the link above or in my side bar to learn more about this neat little project!
It rained!! Being in the desert, rain is rare. But this week it rained for three or four days straight. So I finally ordered the wellies I've been wanting. I actually wanted Hunters, but these were half the cost and well it rains like twice a year in Reno, so I couldn't justify spending that much. I also ordered these cute pair of oxfords to have something to wear with all the cute skirts of have been acquiring. I have really become bored with wearing jeans and t-shirts all the time, so I want to incorporate some excitement into my wardrobe. I'll let you know how it goes....
I finished up my linoleum carving, I get to print next week and then I also lose this piece as well. It is a collaborative project, we all are essentially carving a piece of a puzzle. Every one's block will be glued down and we will make a very large print which will be going on display at the convention center downtown. How exciting! I am really starting to get my work out in all sorts of ways, and it feels great.
Today I am just taking it easy, working on a couple sketches, maybe go thrifting later...
How was your week?
