(Did you know that I write five?!)
Here are highlights of various styles of sketches from the last year.
Ink sketch - the first type of sketch that I posted here, as inspired by the Everyday Matters group. This is one of my "waiting at the hospital" sketches. The last in my Chemo Chronicle sketchbook, in fact.

Paint tubes - I exhibited paint tube and cupcake sketches in June. (The cupcakes are over on their own blog: Cupcake Safari) This is a digital composite of all the paint tubes.

Colored pencil - This I drew specifically for an event at my gallery to benefit the Japanese tsunami victims. I think I'll open up the Cupcake Safari to include other desserts. Maybe a world tour of desserts... I got tired of eating cupcakes [not, haha].

iPhone Brushes painting - Started sketching garish skies. This is my favorite of the lot - both for location and skill level.

iPhone Brushes painting #2 - More food. I like how it's possible to get the translucent glow found in tomatoes through the brushes app. This is here because I want to do more of these.

Digital paintings - These I create in Corel Painter, using the Wacom tablet. They originate as photos and I'm currently concentrating on my commute captures.

Digital portraits - In November, I revisited my technique of tracing over photos in Adobe Illustrator using the Brush Tool and a Wacom tablet. This has lead to a huge project that will be my next TAG exhibition in April 2012. It involves style bloggers and you can follow my progress on that over on SpyGirl, my fashion blog.
