Are you ready for some football?
Whether you're watching the game on Sunday or tossing the "pigskin" out in the back yard with your kids, football is everywhere this time of year. Including the !
So did I score a touchdown with this illustration? (My daughter would be rolling her eyes at my bad Mom jokes if she were reading this🤣)

Since I'm cooking dinner for the whole fam today, I had time for just quick sketch and a little humor to start this week's new with prompt list!
This week is jam-packed so I'm keeping it way simpler than last week, 🤣 But hoping to complete all the prompts!
Happy Sports Ball Week to everyone!

Barely making the last prompt to end an epic week of incredible films!
This one is so near to my heart since it's about conservation. Everytime those @ #$%!&$ take down the Tree of Souls, my heart both breaks and is infuriated because this happens everyday. Tearing down the beauty and majesty of nature for the almighty dollar. It makes me sick.
But I love the hope that permeates the film, even when everything the Na'avi love is in ruin. There is always hope as long as there are people who care. We can't let the machine win.

Done entirely in h2o inks and brushes with just a hint of shimmer.

Thanks to


For a wonderful week of challenges and great job everyone! We did it!

is the movie for today's from and and it was a fun one! I didn't have much time with this one since I'm knee-deep in the final proofread of my upcoming illustrated children's novel (my fabulous sis is my co-illustrator❤️) But even though my Skywalker doesn't look exactly like I'm still happy with the finished piece and so thrilled to bring one of my absolute favorite movies to inky life 😀

Charging into day 2 of this week's with and with another classic film, 1959's Ben Hur
It's been said that over 150 horses died during the filming of the famous chariot race scene so I chose to pay tribute to them by keeping the horse as the focal point. I'm a bit rusty since I haven't drawn a horse in a LONG time but I'm happy overall.
Just ignore the spacing on my letters...🤣

Since the paper in this new sketchbook is a bit thinner than I'd hoped, I tried something new with my inktense blocks. I took my paper smudger, rubbed it on the dry block then rubbed it on the paper to create some of the softer shadows and it worked out nicely. Gonna keep that trick 😉

Other than that, everything is done in @ microns. I'm really digging the grey tones! Gives the look of a pencil drawing and no smudges!
Have a happy Sunday!

from
and
It's all about award winning movies and today's is one of my absolute favorites (both movie and book): Rebecca.
I have fond memories watching this as a kid with my Grandpa on channel 9/WOR in New York. We'd always watch the 4o'clock movie together and Hitchcock's classic was one of our favorites.💙
And yes, the writing is intentionally smeared 😁
This is gonna be a fun week!

She did it!!!! Sprout has officially finished the challenge!!!! Wooohooo!!
I am SO proud of this kid! She took on a formidable 31 day challenge and tackled it in 3 and a half days!! I am really impressed that she stuck with it, even though she was thinking about stopping earlier this evening. So here goes another entry into the contest!
Great job, babe, I love all of your drawings, your perseverance and your sense of humor. So proud and humbled to be your mom❤️
And as promised, I'm going on Amazon to buy you that mini sketchbook 🤣

Big love to all you incredible artists that gave love and encouragement to my Sprout! You guys have inspired her so much and she is thrilled that so many talented artists liked her work!

It's a Sprout-Over!!
So originally both my daughter and hubby were gonna do the challenge with me but they got intimidated at the amount of art to be created and backed out at the last minute. Fast forward to yesterday, when she found out that allowed entries into their under 18 with parental consent. Since she loves about as much as I do and since the entries are due on 11/4, she decided to take on the 31 day challenge in FOUR DAYS. Ya gotta admire her tenacity.
So here are her 1st eight. She was working so fast she had a few spelling errors but I am so proud of her and absolutely LOVE where she's going with this!

She's across from me, drawing up a storm even as I type, so give her some love and cheer her on with me!

A place of such serene beauty and a bucket list destination for me...
Where in the world am I?

The lineup:
Micron
Sumi pallette
Inktense blocks

I have to say, I truly enjoyed my very first ! Yes, it was challenging to carve out time some days and some of the prompts had me scratching my head but it was a blast and I'm so glad that I finally joined in on the fun. What made it truly special was doing this with my partner in crime the best sister on the planet!

I'm also truly thankful for getting to know the work of some truly incredible artists. I've been inspired by all of your talent💙

Till next time...
