(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.

Hi Ann,
Thanks for your recent visit to my blog and comment. I so appreciate comments. They are such encouragement. I know every blogger has sometimes wondered "is anyone reading this thing?"
I like all of these, but especially the first line drawing. I used to do a lot of that sort of drawing, but seem to have gone into other things. Must utilize it more in my art journal. Happy New Year to you and Yours, Coleen in Ukraine
thanks coleen!
the analog ink in sketchbook technique is so direct and can be done quickly, as long as those two items are "at hand"
