Life in the Mundane Series

Today is just a simple issue with pictures from my phone from what is in general a long period of eventless life. Please enjoy these snapshots of the sky, most of them involving a sunset. Hopefully one day you will be seeing some of these same photos in DrawnOut form, but for now this will have to do.

The view from the window at a house where I was babysitting.
On the way home from an outing with some friends, the sky looked quite lovely.

While shooting baskets with some friends at a riverside playground, I walked to the riverbank and found this scene.
See the drawn versions below:

Looking through the rear window in the car on the way to church

There exists a drawn version of this scene,
but I don't believe I've posted it on my blog yet.

The sky looked amazing, so I went to the top of a hill near my house and got some shots.


Commutes are boring, but not with a gorgeous sky like this. I like how the red lights act to accent the other colors.


The moon looked larger in real life.
The day my sister and I had nothing to do so we drove to a cute little town
and went walking. Turned the camera upside down for this reflection.

This was the day my brother and I got soaked during a sudden cloud burst trying to pump air into the tire of one of our family's cars.
If it were not for the parking lot, this might render a more
romantic scene.

Children, do not do this at home. Photo was snapped while driving.

When my sister and I climbed a tower to watch the sunset.

Modes of Transportation: New and Old

Today I have two drawings for you. A pencil drawing of a gypsy horse from a photo I took in the village of Roseti in Romania; and a marker drawing of an old car from a photo I found off the internet.

I like the pencil drawing for all the textures I had to represent. It was a fun challenge.

I'm not very accustomed to using marker, so this is my attempt at that. I did some touch-ups with pencil, paint and even some oil pastels. My inspiration came from walking around an old car show the other day.

Hopefully this isn't the last old car I draw. They make a great subject.

Please enjoy!

Fishers (remix)

Pen and Marker
The last time I drew this, it was in pen and ink. This time I've used a different effect.
