Tried the blob exercises digitally, but I think I need to play around with what to use for the initial shapes a little more for it to be successful.
I'm so proud of how this Detroit-style pizza turned out that I'm using it as today's art post - crust is homemade with my own sourdough starter, made the sauce from scratch with a mix of fresh tomatoes and tomato paste, sort of blind baked in the oven before adding the toppings (provolone, mozzarella, pepperoni) since I don't have an actual pizza oven. It came out perfect- crust had exactly the texture I wanted, cheese got a little crispy around the edges, and kiddo was asking me what we're going to put on tomorrow's pizza, so I think my first try at making pizza from scratch was a success.
Hopefully these will be dry enough to bisque this weekend. The guy on the left is cut out at the back to hold a candle or incense cone, the sloth is a trinket dish (similar to the frog I made in my first pottery class). Both hand-built out of pinch pots joined into a ball and carved.
More paint wash drawings - all using the same metallic green as the wash, just hard to get a good angle of the whole page at once.

Ink Blobs! Which one of these blob sketches is your favorite? ☺️💕
Oh, this is brilliant - I'm going to be doing more of these. I think my favorite is "Wizard that just fell down the stairs"
The cats have been very happy that it's warm enough to open the window occasionally.
