face and feet

Watercolor pencil on Bee drawing paper. The bottom foot has water added to smooth the texture.

One of the last warmish days on the deck.

All the colors are invented.

I started with colored Sarasa 0.7 mm ballpoints, acrylic paint added.In the journal.

draw what's around you

There are always feet nearby to draw.

Pen and w/c in the journal.

painted knee

I idly sketched my feet on the back of the cover of the Strathmore drawing pad--it's pebbly.

By the time I was done painting in (random colors), I liked the surface enough to post this.

Gray pen and w/c.

better pencil colors

Bare feet and sandals are much more interesting to draw than winter shoes and socks.

sandal season, finally

Warning, lots of foot-in-sandal sketches coming.

In the soft paper journal, pencil.

socks in sandals

I am never happy with slippers--too soft, can't step outside for the mail in NH weather. So I wear thick Thorlo socks in slip-on sandals. And if I have to drive somewhere I may not have to change my shoes.

And I don't even own a pair of white socks, so the horror of socks in sandals does not apply (I claim). These sandals are actually black leather, I just didn't color them in.

Hard charcoal pencil on 70# paper.

a page of feet

Not mine. You can tell because I don't wear toe rings.

Pencil in the Hand Book journal.

feet collage

I used one of my simple line drawings of feet as an element on a collaged page in the journal.

I like how cartoony the feet turned out.

With acrylic paint. It works so well on unsized paper like this.

clunky comfort

These are my ginormous sandals with super thick straps and fastenings. For when it's too hot for socks and hiking boots.

Gel pen and w/c crayon in the journal, while watching The Daily Show. Can't beat Jon Stewart's honesty in news coverage!

green feet

Drawing with paint, then layering to mold the forms.

W/c on 140# Arches.

crossed, a variation

Always there, available to be drawn.
