Sketching YA

teens1_RobertaBaird Oh, how I would love to work in YA novels.  I hope one day to get the chance.

 

But until then,  I’ll keep practicing. Here’s a sketch, I started while waiting in the car for my daughter. Such fun inspiration  to draw… and those tween kids are rich in expression!

Essence of Squirrel

He gives me but a few seconds… I sketch his outline. Thirty seconds to catch the essence of a squirrel.

He’s my live model.

I pay him with corn.
