iDraw: Never Assume
Never assume that just because something is easy one day, it will be easy another day. Hubris, hubris, hubris.

iDraw: It's Getting Easier
The process of drawing these is definitely getting more facile, which is appropriate to something I do every day. Still, there is an unexpected pleasure in it getting easier, and in being able to see the ease in the drawings.Labels: 2008, ArtistsChoice, Faves: 2008.12, Media: Digital, Media: iPod Sketches, Media: iPod Touch, Process: From Imagination, Process: In 15 minutes or less, Skin Tones: Blue, Style: Contour Lines, Subject: Head, Where: San Francisco (Florida St.)

About Me
- Name: Julia Kay
- Location: United States
Artist, Analyst, Aikidoist, Alexander Technique Teacher-Trainee. Artist: I've been living, working and exhibiting in the San Francisco Bay Area for almost 20 years. My subject matter ranges from portraits of people and animals to almost abstract paintings of plant forms and light. I paint in oil, acrylics, & watercolors, with oil paintsticks and watercolor markers, and with digital media such as pressure-sensitive tablet and Studio Artist software. I draw with anything I can get my hands on - sticks on wet sand and fingers on frosted windows, chunks of wood freshly burnt into charcoal and children's toys such as etch-a-sketch and magna-doodle. I also take landscape, figure, animal and street photographs, have played with printmaking (mostly monoprints) and have dabbled with sculpture in steel, wood, clay and neon.
