My very first posting!

I'm a newbie here.

Still trying to figure out how things work. 

And this happens to be my very first posting. 

I haven't been coloring since college so please excuse my choices. 

Hope I get better.

Sketchclub update...

Here's the mark for this week. I'm certain the hair was darker, but my lay-in color looked so nice, I decided to keep it.

This week, Mark McDonnell showed up to draw with us at Sketchclub -- hadn't seen him in a little while. Gosh, his sketchbook looked so good, I'm sure we'll be seeing yet another book from him. Really funny drawings, he had me in stitches!

And... new comer Natalie Hall joined our club for the first time. Wow, this girl can draw.

And, it looks like the very talented Kendra Melton is going to be working a gig in New York for a stint. Hopefully we'll be seeing lots of New York drawings on her blog.

Appropriate Footwear

Alright, here's my take. It's the guy all the way on the left in his slippers and athletic wear.

Introducing TODD HAMPSON!

Todd Hampson

Todd Hampson, from Timbuktoons, was our special guest at Sketchclub. He, and his good friend Shawn, came in all the way from Georgia. And, as is the ritual, he sketched out the mark strictly from memory.

Sweet, little old lady

I have some spare time at the moment, so I sculpted, painted and rendered the mark.  Marcelo gave me a "Oh that's disgusting", so I guess it's a thumbs up.

Better late then never right?

The Bygone Era

We immediately zeroed in on this kid, he just stood out like a shining beacon from a bygone era -- a forgotten time when kids were wholesome and innocent. It's like he stepped off the set of Leave it to Beaver -- before Eddie Haskell moved to the neighborhood.

No nose ring, tattoos or piercings, no skull T-shirt, studded belt or ripped up jeans. I'll bet if I picked him up by his ankles and gave him a shake, bubble gum, baseball cards and his mom's grocery list would fall out of his pockets.
