Sarah's Daily Post 13

I've been neglecting my daily posts as I was away for the weekend and then managed to loose my doodle from yesterday so if you happen to find a scribble on a piece of A5 scrap paper, it's mine. 

Anyway, I've been thinking about starting a website for myself. The above is a sketch idea for the front page with the concept being that the website (built in flash) would open like a book on your screen as you navigate through it.

Todays random doodle... Little robot inspired by my calculator!

Okay, so I'm sad. I admit it! But I'm feeling rather Christmassy. It might be something to do with us being in the D-month or maybe it was the beautiful dusting of snow that we were treated to (FINALLY!) in Somerset...
Inspired by the font in this web-vert for Waitrose. The advert itself is cool - the letters move! I can't find anything exactly the same online - it must be a commission - but there's lots of Christmassy font ideas here to get you in the mood, if you so wish.

Random doodling of the day! Feeling rather loved-up so this seemed apt.

Todays random doodle - more hexagonal musings (I've yet to find my ideal snowflake) and a simplified sketch of one of my flowers at home.

Sarah's Daily Post 08

A random still life study of what could been seen from my desk. A pear, a coaster, a bottle of water and a surgical mask. It's a while since I've drawn a formal still life and this has whetted my appetite for more.

An up-close study of the centre of a flower - petals packed in, tumbling over each other and almost fighting to get out.

Tonight, we're going for Japanese and I've been looking forward to having a sushi fix all day...

I'm a night owl though I aspire to be a lark. I'd love to be a morning person!

Started drawing my son's face, but he objected.  So I played with the lines I'd committed to paper: it was great fun.

Blissful weightlessness. Well, almost. It's hard to be graceful when you're upside down! This is a move that I hope to perfect soon. Proportions are out but I think this captures the essense for a five minute sketch.

Cake on the brain?
Preliminary sketch scanned in to use as a starting point for a vector graphic for a current project. Tracing the swirl of piped cream has been really tricky! Maybe I'll have to buy some cake and do some proper still life drawings as "research"?

A portion of the bare-branched maple tree in my garden - lovely shapes against the skies

Draw what is in front of me: in the car, waiting for my son while on chauffeur duty, what can I draw?  Consider a tree, but the view is not good.  What can I see that is an interesting shape?  There's my hand, on the page of the book I am drawing in.....

Sarah's Daily Post 01

Today, I've been contemplating winter as I start the annual process of homemade Christmas cards. This year, I've been inspired by an amazing origami snowflake which I've found instructions for online. Now I'm doodling octagonal patterns in the hope of finding my ideal card motif.
