The Springmaid Pelican - Day 63 of 75

This is such a cool bird.  He sat at the pier at Springmaid Beach every day while people crowded around him snapping photos.  I hope I get to see him again in March when we go for another workshop.  Maybe I'll get the chance to sketch him or one of his friends from life.

Winter Coat and Hat - Day 62 of 75

It hasn't been the worst winter on record, but we've had our share of cold days, snow, sleet, etc.  and I'm tired of it.  I'm tired of dressing like an Eskimo. I want to feel the warm breeze, and see green leaves and colorful flowers.

Two Cockatoos - Day 61 of 75

These two cockatoos were part of the WetCanvas weekly drawing event for the week of 2/15/13.  I thought they would make a good subject for today.

"Walking Away the Pounds" - Day 60 of 75

For about as long as I've been doing this sketch challenge, I've also been exercising in front of my TV to my "Walk Away the Pounds" tape.  Today I decided to sketch Leslie while she demonstrates knee lifts.

Two Red Roses - Day 59 of 75

These two red roses should probably have been yesterday's sketch, but I had forgotten about the photo that I used for reference until today.  The roses were lying on my Aunt Mary's crocheted doily, but I didn't think that I could quite pull that off.  I'm really loving sketching with pen, but I'm not sure that I like using the colored pens as much.

Glass Rhino and Bunny - Day 58 of 75

A sketch of my glass rhino and bunny.  The rhino has a pink area in the center - maybe a heart or maybe his stomach, or maybe just a colorful accent.  It has a different shape depending on the angle you are looking at it from.  There are a few little stripes here and there in both animals - from my vertical blinds reflecting in the light.  The lights and shadows kept changing as I sketched, more so than usual.

Portrait of Girl with a Hat - Day 57 of 75

Today's sketch is a portrait of a girl with a hat, sketched from a photo by Devimarie in the WetCanvas Reference Library.
