Sky Over Dallas, Texas

This is what the sky looked like yesterday over Dallas, Texas. It was rainy, stormy, and dramatic. I observed the sky as I drove around doing errands during the day and then drew it from memory last night. I used a 3B and H pencil in my Canson Field Sketch Book. I used a tissue for blending.

EDM #173 - Draw Something From Memory

I really enjoyed doing this one. I chose to draw my parent's living room from memory. This is also the house where I lived while growing up. I think I got the the furniture right, but I couldn't remember the colors. I know the recliner is brown and the drapes are gold, but I can't remember the color of the walls, carpet, or rocking chair cushion. I used Prismacolor and Copic markers to color in my drawing. The picture below is marker only. I thought the walls were a tad bright, so I added some colored pencil to tone them down. The first picture is the one with colored pencil added. Mom and Dad, you'll need to tell me how much I got right and how much I got wrong. I discovered I love drawing from memory. I am going to do more of it.
