Sunday Sketchbook - black and white sketchbook drawings
This page is one I worked on today - mostly plants, for some odd reason, but that's what I was mainly seeing, I guess. This is just one of three sketchbook pages I did. It's about 8 1/2 by 11", well, probably a bit more with the spiral. The tree is water-soluble pencil, and everything else is vine charcoal. Thanks so much for looking!

Black and White Country Luv - original charcoal figurative drawing
After the rodeo dances here in Junction a couple of weekends ago, I have lots and lots of two stepper drawings and paintings. Here's one of my faves. It's about 11 x 8 " - it's actually on 12 x 9" paper, but I've matted it smaller. This is on Bee Drawing paper and I'm really glad to see this brand around again - bought it at Michael's. Love the paper, although it's not as forgiving as some others, it's still a pleasure to draw on. With me, I make so many changes and erasures - I sort of like to mess up the surface a little - I love paper and love to work it over. Thanks for looking!

Middleweights - original ink figurative drawing
Just as with drawing dancers, it's important to use memory, which is what I did here. I saw an online drawing course recently that included memory drawing. I taught that concept in my figure drawing classes from years ago, and although I haven't seen it mentioned in classes very often, it's a really great drawing exercise.

iPhone sketch of Shayna - original black and white iPhone drawing
I love drawing with my finger on my 6 plus screen - talk about living dangerously when drawing! It's a complete toss-up as to how it will turn out, but really satisfying for me. If you haven't tried this, do it! Thanks so much for visiting Hackberry Street Studio!

The Folksinger - original charcoal figurative drawing
Nothing like a musician to get the charcoal working. Really good performance by this guy and I feel I really captured him. This drawing is on mixed media paper, about 10 x 7". Thanks for looking!

Rockabilly - original figurative water-soluble pencil drawing
Looking out the window of the restaurant, I saw this fellow as he listened to a friend. I was ready with my sketchbook, water-soluble pencil and a brush with the water reservoir. It's so quickly done, but I loved the gesture and his concentration. This one is about 11 x 5". Thanks for visiting!

Four Futures - original charcoal figurative sketches
Hope you can make out these quick charcoal sketches on 6 x 6" Gessobord that I will begin to paint tomorrow. The top two are tango dancers and the bottom two are already jiving away. Can hardly wait to bring them to life and I think just for fun, maybe they'll be a little more abstract than usual. But that remains to be seen. These little dancers usually get their way. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Doubting Sarah - original charcoal portrait drawing
She looked as if she didn't believe a word they were saying. I could get busy and "finish" this piece, but I'm happy with it. It captures her expression, which was one of amused doubt. This drawing is about 8 x 6" on mixed media paper. Thanks for looking!

Curly - original charcoal portrait drawing
I loved drawing her hair, which is a remarkable feature. She isn't a regular model, so I didn't have much time - there I go again - anyway, much fun to draw. This drawing is on mixed media 10 x 8" paper. Thanks for stopping by!

Dark and Light - original water-soluble pencil notan sketch
A little notan sketch - I guess it qualifies as notan - just trying to simplify and then maybe work in color. It's drawn on 9 x 12" Yupo. Thanks for stopping by!

The Heavyweights - original ink figurative drawing
I guess I'm on a line drawing kick - the most fun for me, actually. I just came across this 9 x 12" while looking through some drawing pads today. This one is from December, I think. Listening to George Jones right now - a great Saturday night, folks! Thanks for stopping by!
