Sketchbook Porject 2012 page 5 Pub

Took me a good chunck of the afternoon drawing out this sketch from one of my own pictures.
This is an Irish pub in the streets of St Malo, Britany France.
The pub is actually green, which makes it stand out quite a bit from the general grey rock walls of most of the city.

IF - Perennial

I was on the last page of a Juliette story when I checked the Illustration Friday theme: Perennial.

Definition:
1. present at all seasons of the year.
2. a. persistent, enduring. b. continuing without interruption: constant. c. regularly repeated or renewed.

I call on all cat owners out there to support my case that this is a perfect example of perennial activity:

Sketchbook Project page 3 Finished

I finished coloring this page last night. The previous page had some glued elements to it and this showed through while coloring -something to remember, next time I'll hold off and do the following page before gluing things down.
Not too much of a big deal though, as this is in the spirit of a sketchbook afterall.

Done in color pencil.

Last couple days of school is movie day -which makes the kids self-sufficient for the most part, and since I'm ahead of the pack with my grading, I decided to give myself time to color. Here's how far I got on this page:
