Day 18- X is for...

X is for I failed, I didn't do a picture that actual day, so the x is because there was none, so instead I made a fancy-ish X thereby giving me something to post for that day! Un- Fail!

Day 10- Mobius

This is our dog Mobius. In real life he isn't quite so skinny looking, and his face is a little darker too. I love this dog, he is the perfect dog for us, and we were incredibly lucky to find him. He had only been at the pound for about an hour before we found him. Steve wanted to go to the pound earlier in the day and I just didn't want to, it didn't seem right to me to go look for a dog because I wasn't sure yet if I was ready for one, and like I said, it just didn't feel right, and we were kind of in a hurry to go have lunch with Steve's old lady friend Rachel. Luckily, we didn't go earlier in the day, we barely made it to Rachel on time anyways, and we wouldn't have found this dog. I have no idea why anyone would get rid of this dog. He was picked up by the county and no one ever claimed him. He is the sweetest guy, he is about 2-3 years old, loves playing catch, likes going on walks, is great on a leash (doesn't pull), doesn't bolt from the house when we open the front door, isn't aggressive with his food (Desi can be down at the dog dish messing with his food while he is eating and he doesn't care), doesn't beg for food or jump up on the counter or table looking for food,  is kennel/crate trained, house trained, doesn't jump on people, doesn't jump on the furniture (unless we tell him it is okay, he is now allowed to get on Simon's bed, but that is it), rarely barks, gets along with other dogs (except for the ones in Steve's family, which he gets along with ok, but the other dogs are kind of aggressive towards him trying to exert their dominance and it just scares Moby), is a little timid and shy but so loving, has the sweetest saddest eyes, loves the boys, loves Steve, and loves me (although he always brings the ball to Steve even though I'm the one that throws it! and it makes me really mad too). Seriously the perfect dog, someone spent a lot of time training him, and I can't imagine why they would leave him behind even if they foreclosed on a house and had to move suddenly, you'd think they would have given him to someone they knew! I also love that his left ear is always cocked, it's flopped over a little.

Day 3- Owl

Day 3's drawing I did while the boys were in the bathtub. I was sitting in my comfy orange chair watching them and realized it would be a great time to do my drawing for the day instead of waiting until after they go to bed like I normally do, so I looked around the library/loft area and spotted this cute little bobble head owl that my old bosses gave me because they know I like owls. I stuck him on the desk, grabbed my sketchbook, and settled into my chair. I didn't do a lot of shading on this one, mostly outlining. And I just realized as I glanced over at my little owl perched on the bookshelf that I left out spots/circles that go in the center of his feathers on his belly... oops! And I totally ratted myself out, you would have never known. I love this little guy though, he is so cute, turquoise and green and orange, and just so bright and happy and cute. Once again edge cut off by scanner and shading around the edges from the scanning process.

Would you be interested in me posting the picture of the actual item when I am drawing real things?
(Update: I added the picture, but it is obviously from a different angle than when I drew it, but you get the idea)

*Pencils used Staedtler Mars Lumograph 2H and 3B I believe.
