Here's a peek inside my source books. These two I have covered with a gift bag that I cut down to size just like I demonstrated in class. And what I did here on the food related one is I just sketched some food items. Here's a bunch of salad ingredients and so on. Then I started I sketch the salad bowl and then I wanted to go into further detail with that. I did some more vegetables.

Then I did garlic and I did more of an in depth study with the garlic just because there's so many options I have that I could work with here. Adding Purple's, doing cloves, doing the whole head from the bottom cross section. did the same thing with ginger. And here's the avocados from class. Did some eggs and tomato and just so on. I continued Here with the corn I use some familiar corn words maize ear of corn kernels, stock husk, whatnot.

And then with olives, I was sketching some olives for eating in a salad and then I came to olive oil and then I thought of olives in a martini. The bananas from class. Some other fruits are more in depth study some jalapenos and then I just recorded the Scoville heat scale because I think I'm going to use this in my work. Some tequila bottles, some more than some have an arrows continued with the tequila theme and really anything goes for the food related this was really kind of industrial. I did my packaging just in simple gray pencil. Here we did some different things.

Color when I wanted and when I didn't, I just went with the pencil, I could come back to it and add some color or more depth at some point. But for now, this is what's really working for me. Some knives and cutting boards, utensils, further utensils, oven mitts, cutting boards. These are all things that I find very helpful in my work for the miscellaneous, this is kind of just my catch book. I have some daisies, some mittens, some winter hats, stockings, some words, some more Christmas images. And just some quick sketches.

And I continued this with more throughout the book. I also wanted to include one that was just really generic, but just in terms of basically doodles. And so this is patterns for lines or for making borders or banners. Here are some frames that I can modify the size and the shape according to if I want to jot something down I did some banners different ways to include the date in my pieces. I did some more frames, envelopes rates and more little lines but little short, just little clips. Then I took some Christmas paper here, and this is where I included some of my various Christmas sketches.

I started out with snowmen gingerbread man, some Christmas characters and then I went just played around with trees, some greenery different versions of hats, some raw sketches of angels, and some Christmas baubles. So this is a good way to get an idea of what to sketch or anything really. And I continue to add to my groups, as well as have some more groups that are full of text of either various words that were either inspiring or harsh or beautiful and I included them there.
