Ink in Moleskine sketchbook

Just a few people on BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) — our version of the subway — on the way to the Sketchcrawl Saturday. This is being another killer week at work, leaving little energy for much else. I’m determined to get in some drawing tonight and I’m looking forward to a long weekend and my annual one week birthday vacation next month.
I have an idea for a personal sketchcrawl while I’m on vacation — an hourly drawing, no matter what I’m doing or where I am. I’d set my watch to chime on the hour and every time it chimes, do a drawing of something I’m seeing or doing…for 12 hours straight. And maybe I’ll use a pre-determined different drawing technique or implement each time. So 7:00 a.m. might be a blind contour sketch, 8:00 might be using a fat felt pen, 9:00 might be using a brush and ink, 10:00 could be cross-hatching with ink or shading with a soft pencil…. It sounds like fun and gives me something to look forward to while slaving away until then.

Jana, I am really enjoying checking your site each day. I feel very encouraged to keep up my sketchbook more, and to post from it more often. I have also enjoyed the list of links to other artists. It’s like a treasure chest!

That’s a really good idea – sounds a little more attainable than the last similar challenge I set myself: fill a skechbook in a day (yikes – only a tiny one, 4x6inches, 60 pages) I manged to fill 50 pages, and I stained the whole thing with coffee so it didn’t feel precious, but wow, I didn’t have time to do anything else!
Look forward to the results of your challenge
