Sketchcrawl 19 - Carousel Dragon


This was the last sketch I did during the "Sketchcrawl #19" on Saturday. I never got to finish it because they closed the carousel at 5:00 p.m. sharp, and started to lower the metal doors that closed it in while I was still sitting there. The rest of the dragon is a dark green with some yellow green accents. I had to pick up and move a few times since the dragon did not always stop in front of me when the ride stopped. You can see all the sketches that my sister Joan and I did, and read all about our sketchcrawl here http://www.sketchcrawl.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=3106
What is a "Sketchcrawl"? Several years ago an artist named Enrico Casarosa from California spent an entire day sketching in the San Francisco area. He thought it would be more fun to do it again with friends, and he made a blog about it, and the "Worldwide Sketchcrawl" was born. You can read about this fun activity at http://www.sketchcrawl.com/

I am so glad you two were able to do the sketchcrawl and had so much fun. I never wanted a sister when younger (didn't want to share) but when I see all the fun you two have going sketching together, I miss having a sister.

I think I enjoyed doing this sketchcrawl the best. The weather was perfect and the company was too. Hope you finish this one!

I don't think I would have moved each time the carousel stopped. I would have just drawn what came. I would have had a bunch of pieces of the animals. lol

Jeanne, I did that for my first two sketches. I just started whatever animal was nearest me, and next time it stopped I put the animal that stopped by me either next to or behind the first, and if they reappeared I continued to work on them but if they didn't I just added something new.
