sketchbooks

Sketchbooks and art journals I have in progress, completed, or near completion are listed here with links to the related pages.  The featured image shown above for this page is from the 9×12 watercolor 140lb journal.  The model is Tori.  I have listed each sketchbook as a page to include the work within each.   I continue to work in the sketchbooks until they are completed and even after that as ideas or inspiration strike. Sometimes I decide to revisit a piece for collage or some other manipulation to evolve the work.  My exploration with these sketchbooks is ongoing.  This work may include new sketches with models, collage from previous sketches into a different sketchbook, new interpretations of previous sketches, or the continued evolution of a work into a painting and more.  I remain open to the possibilities.

Sketchbooks by Cie Ja

This page continues to update as more sketchbook pages are added.  You can follow me on twitter or like my page on facebook if you would like to keep in contact.  Some sketchbooks and journals are listed in anticipation of new pages.   They are ordered here as they appear in the pages menu.  Ones without links do not have pages at this time.

Blind Contour

Figure drawings are listed here with modified and other blind contour drawing techniques. I have listed a few others that demonstrate those influences in my work.  They are listed by life model and linked to a related page or post.  As with other pages, this one is also subject to updates as new works are added, information changes, or other adjustments are made.  The life models included here are Cynthia, Gilbert, Ginger, Ian, Joel, Jono, Leigh, Lori S., Rob D., Shaunna, Sherman, Sophia, Stefanie, Stu, and Tori.
