Waterscapes Calendar
My 2nd 2010 Calendar is now up for sale on Zazzle:
Single-page style:
Two-page style (yes a different cover):
The info. on the Flowers 2010 calendar is in my previous entry. It is now available both on Zazzle and deviantART. I still have to do the deviantART version for the Waterscapes.
As always, I'm willing to do customizations for the calendar format, remove US holidays, or even make the months fit more of a S. Hemisphere season change, if someone really wants that.
And, as with the Flowers calendar, at least 2 images will be exclusive to the calendar through 2010, so let me know if you want something on another product before I make the decision, if you want something before 2011. :)

Flower Calendar
I've been busy working on some more photography this month.
I plan to have at least two calendars to release in September The first is ready for upload once deviantART changes to 2010 format in Sept.
Flowers
Back cover preview:
I will be making calendars and products with the individual images at both my stores:
KerStitch on deviantART
and
KerStitch on Zazzle
Please let me know what you would like to see! At least 2 images will be exclusive to the calendar through 2010, but I haven't decided which ones yet So if you want a product get in your request, so you don't have to wait until 2011. :)
My 2nd calendar will be waterscapes from S. Ontario, Canada and FL, USA. There may be another calendar that combines my flower photos with a friend's poetry. I really hope something works out there for some unique products!

Taking Photos
I happened to notice that the light was perfect to take flower photos yesterday. I ended up taking 423 during an hour around my yard and my next door neighbours'. I don't have anything to post yet, but at least a few turned out good enough for printing and will be for sale eventually. :)

Drawing Again
Well, I'm both tired and excited after drawing for a couple of hours Saturday and Sunday. I've been wanting so badly to get back into drawing and painting and really learn how to draw human figures, since I've never really did do that back in high school. Now, with access to sites like www.deviantart.com and a Rogers Rocket stick so I can actually browse stock without pulling my hair out, I've finally made the leap.
A competition notice inspired me to start drawing *something*. I did a very rough conceptual sketch while waiting in the car at a grocery store. lol Then, after finding some stock that conveyed a similar idea, I worked on a detailed figure drawing. Still somewhat rough, since I'm still deciding on components etc. and I'm so out of practice, I will sketch everything separately before making a final pencil drawing. Then, if I still have the energy, I will try a colour version - probably watercolour.
I am relatively happy with how the figure turned out though! I compiled 3 different stock sources, so I'm not sure some of it flows quite correctly, but for a first art nude drawing, I am quite happy. I won't post it here yet though since it is for a competition. If I end up using it in a finished piece, I'll ask for permission to post the different stages here. I'm not sure how stock permission works when you've used 3 different model references to make up one person.
I expect I will have a much tougher time with a coloured version since my watercolour skills are at a very beginner level. I've watched a lot of shows and read a lot of books about doing it, but don't have the real-world practice. I think it is easier on my hands than coloured pencils though, which is really my only other option with the supplies I have.
I'll have to see what turns out for my entry. Hopefully, I can complete it on time. I do better when I have a set date to work towards at least.
