Crosby Oats

OK, this project has been rattling around in my head for some months now, so I thought I’d get it out of my system, as it were, once and for all.  It’s not a sketch, per se, although these’s a tiny bit of sketching involved, which I did in Procreate; it’s a manipulation of a photograph and an image, which I did in Procreate and PowerPoint.

Crosby Oats

Technical:  I’m a big fan of Crosby, Still, Nash, and sometimes Young (you know, like the vowels, right? a – e – i – o – u – and sometimes – Y). Bio of Maestro David Crosby is here. Plus, I also like Quaker Oats products, especially hot oatmeal; that image comes from here.

Again, if necessary, mea culpa. Hey, it’s my blog; but, I know, there are rules’n stuff.

 

Marination Challenge

This illustration is somehow related to the ice bucket challenge, but I forget exactly how. Today, by the way, is the anniversary of Katrina.

I sketched this in Procreate. I’m still exploring its features, not to mention sketching techniques in general. Click to see progress video.

Aunt Bee, I know it’s late, but I’m’a swing by’n pick up piece’at pie.

Technical: I found the reference photo on Google by doing a search of images. I displayed it on my large desktop monitor while I sketched it free hand on my iPad using Procreate. Here are the two images. Sure I would do things differently, if given another chance. I could go back and do more, but I called it quits at a point along the way.

More No. 2s

If I’m on top of my tags and categories, previous posts dealing with this collectors’ item, the Eberhard Faber, Princess, No. 2, School Pencil, will be associated with this post. If not, I’ll manually link one or two, but there’re several. It’s a fine icon.

More practice.

Trying Something New

Here’s one way of looking at why it’s important to let go.

S. Bear Creek Rd., Merced, CA (again)

I’ve tried this view before in Paper 53; now, with Procreate I have a few more features to choose from. At any rate, I feel a little better about doing trees in Procreate.

(Yet again, and that’s it, basta.)
