Weekly Self-Portraits, May- June 2015

Since I have moved back to KC after graduating from MCA, I have started doing a weekly self-portrait every Thursday in my sketchbook. Each week, I try to draw my head in a different position, or even use different lighting. I have noticed that every single time that I draw myself, the drawing is always a little bit different.

In each drawing, I use ink wash, pen and ink, and watercolor. I am planning on doing this every single week as long as I can.

Sketchbook Update- Creature Drawings

In my post last week about observational drawing within my sketchbook, I mentioned that I have been also doing creature drawings in my sketchbook also. Once a week, I have been drawing different creatures, even if they are not actually real. These drawings have been fun done to do, especially since it takes a break from drawing realistically all the time. Overall, I have been having fun working on this inside of my sketchbook and I am planning to continue this.

I also forgot to mention in my last post that I have been also experimenting with hand type along with my drawings.

Each drawing was done in watercolor and ink. These were also done between May 20- June 3.

Also, if you want to see what I'm drawing, sketching, or even painting, follow me on my Instagram, @kathierupert. I update a couple times a week!

Sketchbook Update- Observational Drawings

Since I have moved back home to KC, I have been drawing almost every single day in my sketchbook. Some of the drawings that I have done have been observational based. I have also been doing other things in my sketchbook like a weekly self-portrait (I will post them up at the end of the month), and other fun drawings of creatures (I'll post that up next week). I am starting to get inspired again to make some artwork, so once I have some pieces done I'll start posting them up.

These drawings are done by observation. Each drawing was done in with watercolor, ink wash, and ink pen. These drawings were done between May 15-June 2. Enjoy!
