So this week I visited Design Xchange -- a home decor store -- and found some inspiration for my sketchbook. I took pictures which can be found on my flickr of things that I found inspiring, such us textures, other pieces of art, and glass pieces. I decided to play around with one picture and did a sketch in my sketchbook. The original picture was of a saddle, so I used the design of the saddle and incorporated some of my own design into the sketch, and then I added color. It's pretty abstract looking, but I like how it turned out, especially with all the contrasting colors and bold lines.

So far this summer I've really been struggling with my sketchbook. I don't know what to draw, which is really weird for me. I'm planning on going to down to the Third Ward sometime soon to get some art supplies and if you're a fellow AP art student and are interested in joining me send me an email at morganjohnsonapart@yahoo.com. Anyways, here is some stuff I did in my sketchbook.

The first photo is just some Mumford And Son lyrics (their song "Winter Winds") and playing around with markers. I liked the lettering, especially the cursive and making it three-dimensional looking. I also really liked my other sketch -- it's in colored pencils and I really liked the eyes even though they're closed.
