And so begins my first step in a long journey to figure out how to draw Enchanted Rock (for a graphic novel project). This from photos. Better would be there—and I will go there to draw—when it’s not summer. (A massive batholith of granite, it’s an oven all summer long.) #csjennings #landscapedrawing #kidlitart https://www.instagram.com/p/CA9gDzbHFn_/?igshid=1r0u0pg22jdpx

Drawing a Fantasy Character, Part One (or) I Have No Idea What I’m Doing :: Playing D&D (only for the second time) with friends. I wanted to draw my character. I’ve not drawn fantasy characters since junior high. Have a lot to learn about gear, weapons, dwarven hairstyles, etc. #csjennings #kidlitart #characterdesign https://www.instagram.com/p/B-uOx4SHViR/?igshid=jlm0wwaq3gwb

“The Next Page” Spend time with reference photo. Then draw the next scene. (I accidentally discovered this exercise. I’ve not drawn from a photo to this level, but wanted to stir my creative juices, get outside of my paradigm some—and I love the photo.)
