Zen, delightful whimisical.
Jennie, fun sketches of family.
Zen, lovely photo of Jersey City. I especially like the reflections in the water.

Couldn’t think of anything but Buffalo from “Cave of Forgotten Dreams” film. Here is my rendition for Primitive.

 

[CaliAnn]

AJ: That is so perfect for Primative - I LOVE it!

 

[Jo Castillo]

Hi all y'all,

JennieJo, your figures/family are so lively. Love the way you did them.

Zen, great of Jersey City. Inviting.

Alabama, what an exciting choice and good one for primative!

 

[ams]

Alabama, perfect choice for primative.

 

[Mississippi Hippie]

Thankyou! I’m glad yall think the cave painting fits the prompt.

This is mine for Imagination.

It was a challenge in Art class to work in a very loose, wet-in-wet style. I usually work from a photo but this time it was from my imagination.

 

[CaliAnn]

Very beautiful Anne!

 

[Jo Castillo]

Anne, beautiful colors and design.

 

[JennieJo]

Zen: Super drawing - all those eyes really make it for me
JennieJo: Looks like quite the family reunion - so many interesting characters. You have such an interesting point of view. I love that third head and what to know more about it!

Me too! That's the problem with free drawing. I'm hoping that it represents my newest great nephew. 18 months old ... so that doesn't really work. Or, maybe secrets

Great looking artwork and photos everyone.
I’m really not a good judge of the more abstract stuff so I won’t comment on each individually this time.

Here’s my entry for Urban. Its a 8.5”x5.5” pencil drawing.

First attempt at a cityscape and I had no clue how to draw the 2 trees on the right side but my method clearly wasn't it. Lol. Other then that I think it came out ok.

I'm going to try to get another one done for this month yet. But we'll see.

 

[CaliAnn]

This came out more than "ok" - it came out wonderful! Excellent, especially considering it's a first for you - hats off to you!

 

[16ga]

Thank you.

 

[Mississippi Hippie]

looks like a good technique

 

[ams]

Wonderful job 16ga. I would never guess that this wasn't a subject you do all of the time.

 

[ams]

This is stretching urban but...there are a lot of squirrels in the city!

 

[ZenDruid]

That looks like an urban street rat.

 

[CaliAnn]

Great squirrel Anne -yes, they are everywhere!

 

[16ga]

I managed to finish a second for this month.
Here’s one for for primitive.

Its 5.5”x8.5” and done with charcoal pencils.

That is such a good sketch with all the detail, you are an urban sketcher now. I also like your sketch for primative. Excellent work for the month!!
