Day 4: Learning to draw. Via the magic of the book, I can now apparently draw my own hand with varying levels of proficiency. I’m amazed at how good this book is. You should all try it (unless you can already draw - in which case, ignore me) #art#drawing#sketch#dailydrawing
The 2008 book, A TIME TRAVELLER'S FIELD NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS OF DINOSAURS; I'm posting more of my illustrations (it is a fictional story, so be prepared for plenty of inaccuracies). Here are the Triassic reptiles that feature in the book.
this illustration was commissioned for a type-in program called Islands for the commodore 64, in the august 1988 issue of RUN magazine.
i am in love with the line-art/woodcut style, painstakingly inked and coloured. it was a different age in which a work of art could be commissioned for a BASIC game that a handful of people in the world would bother to hand-code and play.
this is better art than 90% of the physical big box games i own
update: as it turns out, there is not merely emulating etching/woodcut with inked lines, it IS an etching by artist doug smith who was famous for this style.
Sears (1830-1931) was only 17 when she had the idea for this quilt. She mailed diamonds of white silk to every significant person she could think of or read about, requesting they be autographed and mailed back. Most people did.
Sears' family was wealthy, and it's said she got Lincoln's autograph in person, and danced with him at his inauguration.
There's writers like Hawthorne, Dickens, Emerson, Irving, Longfellow, Julia Ward Howe, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and a number of scientists, politicians (with eight Presidents!), artists, educators, Civil War heroes, and clergy. It took her 11 years to complete the quilt, which has 360 signatures in all, and a total of 1,840 patches of cloth. The quilt was written about in national magazines of the time, and is now a museum piece.
Sears did other quilts, but nothing on the same level as this, a document of its time.

Some projects in the colored pencil book I'm working through ask for various shades of gray. My 36-color Prismacolor set doesn't have any grays, just black and white. What should I do? Fake it by varying pressure with the black colored pencil or graphite?
