Thing-a-Week 18: Getting my powers back

I’ve spent a substantial portion of the past week getting back in the habit. Surprise surprise, it’s just like riding a bike. Now that warm weather’s returned to Edmonton, I headed back to the zoo to warm up with some animal sketches.

Feeling a bit more ambitious, I tried my hand at a self portrait.

I wasn’t completely satisfied with the colour balance, so I took another stab at something just in graytones.

Yeah. It’s been a productive week.

Caitlin, on the other hand, has been having a pretty hectic week and is running a bit behind. But she’s made up for it with a handful of pieces this week on her blog. She’s also got some shots of her art on billboards dotting the Edmonton landscape, so be sure to go give her some kudos!
