The beginning....

I've been working on my sketchbook for THE SKETCHBOOK PROJECT 2012 World Tour.
Hmm......harder than I thought to make the sketches come together and still be able to make them stand out on their own. There are images and thoughts that become part of this creative process and my mind doesn't want to fuck up this project.

My theme is : It's summer where you are

You would think that would be easy but I want to go beyond the usual summery images we see all the time. This is where I start to over think my images and/or get distracted by the internet. I want to draw how summer makes me feel to put it bluntly. It's this super high and my energy starts to skyrocket as soon as that sweet season rolls around. My goal is to work on it at least an hour every day after work.
This is what I have so far.

That is part of my front cover for my book. I'm starting to really enjoy drawing a lot more lately than I have painting. My drawing skills are a lot better than I my painting ones. haha. But this is what I need to never lose my creative juices. I give myself "homework" to keep my creativity fresh and my cat ChiChi is always right by my side as I delve into drawing madness! Although he just falls right to sleep as soon as he gets next to me. My ever present fluffy companion!
