pve design sketches from sketch night at the SOCIETY OF ILLUSTRATORSI went here last night. My sketch book needed to get happy.
Three hours of sketching, live music and models.
If my sketchbook were any happier, it would scream.
Thanks to this artful gal for giving me the heads up.
How do you make time for happy hours for you?
I LOVE THESE!!!
ReplyDeleteI think someone is stepping outside her box!? These sketches really show the happiness, i don't think your sketchbook was the only one who could scream of happiness. xoxo M
Beautiful work!

ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the lifedrawing classes I took in college!

Hmmm, may be rethinking my new header...just teasing ; )
ReplyDeleteJust looking at beautiful things makes me happy. I can not even imagine having your talent and ability to bring them to life so beautifully. Being able to paint and being multi-lingual, those would be my custom orders if God were accepting them. XXOO
These sketches are great! I clicked over to the beautiful websites from the links in your post. I was lost in Bri's for quite awhile, admiring her art and her words. And I love love love Society of Illustrators' advertisement of the event! You always take me places I'd never think to go on my own!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I'm assuming you had enough fun to go back?!
ReplyDeleteyes, yes, I want to go back, and get lost in the happiness of sketching and feeling the creative vibe well and alive.
ReplyDeleteany local takers care to join moi?

Fun sketches Patricia! I have not sketched models at studio for some time! I have fun in the evening sketching with colored pencils, pastels and markers if I am not painting.
ReplyDeleteYay, good for you! I have not done anything like that since college. I'm so happy your sketch book is happy. It sounds like a blast. I need to give myself a happy artist day soon.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you were lost in the happiness. The sketches are lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful evening for you Patricia......and these sketches are as always so wonderful. You are just bursting with talent lately, it's fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sketches....happiness in any form is good!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cool! I can feel the excitment. I think you found a perfect place to get happy! Enjoy my friend. I can't wait to see more- xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love these too! Sounds like a wonderful and inspiring evening.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to find happiness: a new muse. Your work is lovely and joyful. I am glad you are taking this time for yourself.
ReplyDeleteTo find my own bit of happiness, I go to the garden or read. I do think it is important to renew ourselves even in small doses, to choose happiness even in small moments.
gorgeous. these sketches rock. i want a big print of them to hang in my bathroom! ~L
ReplyDeleteWow Patricia- these are so refreshing and unusual, definitely see your hand-but with a little edge, love the elongations and edges. go girl. la
ReplyDeleteThese are so fun - inspired!!
ReplyDeleteThese are just lovely - what great attitude they have!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you made it to the Society and had such a great time. I love the evenings there. It's a place that really can recharge the soul. Coming away with pages of drawings always feels like icing on a already decadent cake.
Thank you for the link. How very kind of you.
Bri-
ReplyDeleteThanks again for letting me know. I definitely plan on going back! Were you there?!

Wow you just took me back 16 years (gulp!) to life drawing in design school. It was my favorite class. The human body is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing/baring your sketches with us!
ReplyDeleteBest, Mindy
PvE~ Lovely as ever. Just a very quick hi and thinking of you. Right now I can think of an interesting PvE illustration... Mimi- rocking and keeping track of all of the balls in the air...Love to you.
ReplyDeletethese are great, what a happy sketch book indeed :)
ReplyDeleteMy happy hours are spent floating in the water at the pool or beach. Thanks so much for your sweet comment! XO
ReplyDeleteWonderful, wonderful sketches! They have your unmistakable mark(s). I took Life Drawing in Spring of 2003(live models 2x/week), but most of my work looks like drawings of aliens. I surely appreciate your beautiful work. Hope it's not taboo to say this, but I like your solution for the triangle coiffure- a quick circle!
ReplyDeleteLovely sketches. Takes me back to college drawing class... which then reminds of the time we had to draw a guy that I'm pretty sure had a Santa Claus gig during the holidays. The drawings were not nearly so elegant as these!
ReplyDeletei absolutely love these...so alive.
ReplyDeletethese make me long for the days when i used to be able to draw.
ReplyDeletehope to see more....
