Remember The Sketchbook Project that I entered? I chose the theme “Encylopedia of” and after some thought I decided on Encyclopedia of Mechanical Contrivances (robots) just because robots are fun to draw and they are one of my favorite things. The paper in the sketchbook is just text copy, not sketchbook paper at all. I couldn’t find a medium that did not show through, warp, or refuse to stick, so I am replacing it with Strathmore Aquarius II watercolor paper. It’s only 80lb but has a special coating to keep it from warping like the lightweight watercolor papers normally do. And it is a nice bright white with a smooth velvety texture. The pic to the left is my new cover. The larger pic is my first page. I think of this guy as Breakfast Bot. He will serve up a quick breakfast, your newspaper and the morning weather. The parrot is his best friend, whether he likes it or not. This is my Sketchbook Sunday entry for the week. Stop by Sophia’s place to see all the other entries!

Great fun…
Clever robot; now for the patent. I am glad he has a friend.
Love your robots, especially the 2nd one, who serves breakfast and coffee!
Wonderful start! And an inspired paper choice. I’ve finally chosen a theme (that really took a while for me). Now I need to order the stuff.
I’ll definitely look forward to seeing your sketchbook when it goes a’traveling.
What theme did you choose? It was a hard choice for me, too. I finally asked my son to help me narrow it down. He’s my advisor. 🙂
It will be fun to follow along with you while you complete this sketchbook. I’m loving these robots already.
Thanks for the visit.

I am having so much fun flipping thru your stuff. Thanks for sharing, it’s neat and I’m totally enjoying it!
I love this theme and look forward to checking in on your progress. One day I will do the Sketchbook Project. It always looks like so much fun.
I want the Robot that gets you what you need! Can I customise the requirements?
you have a wonderful style, both are great.
Oh boy – this is such fun… I love your robots and will definitely look forward to seeing more!
I also think Charlie (in the post below) is fabulous – the close-up is great 🙂
