That’s all for now. I will post when I get my book!! EEeee excite!

So I was going to write a short bio about myself in the front cover but decided against it in the end as we were to fill out a bio card anyways so I just went with iam.samantha :)

So I have finally completed some pages to share with you. Although this is a sketchbook and being on the spot makes me nervous!! SO with that being said I am not a fan of all of these sketches. My theme is “in 5 mins” which I am using very loosely. Some things don’t look like they correspond at all with my theme but just think…. I thought about it withIN 5 MINS !!
I hope you enjoy the sketches so far!
—You can sing a song ‘in 5 mins’
— Graphic Design can kick someone’s behind ‘in 5 mins’
— You can have a drink or pour a bevvy ‘in 5 mins’ (or less HA)
— If you’re working you can be back ‘in 5 mins’
—All the things I could think about me “the artist” ‘in 5 mins’
— Also trying to get the cat to sit ‘FOR 5 mins’ is almost impossible!!
Check back for more sketches as I am trekking along trying to get them done!! :)
So the day has finally come! I bit the bullet and finished the FIRST page of the Sketchbook! Not to panic or anything but it only has to be to Brooklyn, NY in a few weeks and I have nearly 60 pages to use up!!! Looks like I will be drawing in my sleep for the next few weeks!!
Check it out!
Check back for page 2!
So it has been a while since I last posted about my sketchbook. I have been negleting it since I did the cover as I hated it so much. SO I have changed it (as I said I probably would). I only have about a month to get it finished and sent away!!
Here are new pictures of the new cover (not finished yet, need to put some ribbon on it still).
And First inside page. I drew a self portrait of myself and I am going to write a little about myself before I start the first page!
Keep posted.. I will be posting more of my drawings once I actually bite the bullet and start!!
So I wanted to do something simple but different for the cover. I didn’t want to change it to drastically as I am a perfectionist and will get annoyed if I do too much embellishing. I am not sure if I like this treatment I have done on the cover to begin with so we will see how this sits for a while then possibly I might change it :) Let me know what you think! Starting to cut out with an exacto knife.
Finished that step and added some ribbon to the cover!
I have a feeling that I will change this but I am not sure yet as to what I would change it to. Now I actually have to get cracking on starting on the inside sketches!!!
So I have spent a few days deciding what I wanted to do with my cover. I have started but I am not revealing until I have finished this part of the cover but here is a teaser picture….
I bet you are just curious as to what I am going to do … :) Well stay tuned and see!!!
