Hello, Kitten & Dawgs, This morning, I’m busy playing catch up since I was away all day yesterday. I had to get two doctor appointments out-of-the-way for the year, nothing serious just a follow-up with my Ears, Nose, and Throat doctor and I had a yearly physical that’s long past due with my primary physican. I wasn’t going to do go but when I went for my routine dental cleaning it was time for me to get one of those x-rays that’s sees more than just you mouth when my hygenist pointed out a narrowing in my throat. I knew I had an issue but never thought much about it and felt it best have it looked at. As it turned out my ENT said he didn’t see anything wrong and he used a scope where he could see all the way to my vocal chords. Anyway things look good for the most part except for my ear. It needs another evaluation in July. At which time the doctor will decide if surgery is needed (tubes).

Although, I have not done a DNA analysis I do know that there’s some Cherokee and Blackfoot Indian blood coursing through my veins but I’d say a good number of you can say the same…well, that you have some sort of Indian in you anyhow. Picking up from last year’s challenge (2017 artwork list), I’m continuing my new-found passion in the world art sketching, except this time I’m going high-tech with my designs with the help of my iPad, Apple Pencil, and the drawing app ‘Procreate’. Here’s my first iPad art sketch of an Indian couple.

My male Indian looks like he works out. Just look at his biceps? 🙂 I took another stab at sketching an Indian girl…I mean woman and wow-za what a woman! 😉

I like my second drawing a little better but I have yet to master the human form but I won’t be discouraged. I’ll keep plugging along until I get it right…well, almost right.

Inspire me to illustrate my next artwork, initiate an idea inside my head!

[tweetthis]This is my 5th year of the #AprilA2Z Challenge, please join me all month as I create iPad #Art Sketches. Today’s letter prompt “I” for #Indians #American[/tweetthis]

It comes no surprise that Curious as a Cathy is all about the mewsic, so I went in search of Indian bands, no not the country but some of the first people native to America. I found three bands/artists. The only name I know on the short list is Redbone. What’s that you don’t recognize the name? That’s alright, you’re forgiven but you probably know their one-hit wonder, Come and Get Your Love from the big screen feature, Guardians of the Galaxy. Robbie Robertson – lead guitartis The Band, vocalist, and songwriter (a few song credits include: The Weight, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down (only song I know by Robertson), Up On Cripple Creek, Broken Arrow, & Somewhere Down the Crazy River) did not ring a bell but has an incredible career associated with some illustrious names in the industry. The third band happens to fit today’s alpha prompt purrfectly and is an introduction to me as well. Give up for the American bluesy-rock band Indigenous with their Things We Do playlist!

Hopefully, sharing my sketches will encourage you to do something that you’ve put off because you don’t think you could do it. My advice is, just do it! Maybe, you’ll be surprised at what you can do, like me! Thanks for making me apart of your day. Don’t forget to leave your footprints in comments with your signature (URL) so I can find my way back to you. Please let me know if you’re a new follower, so I can do the return favor. I realized the importance of building social networks. You might find me participating in my usual daily blog hops but right now I’m heading off to link up with other fellow AtoZers and you’re invited to come along. Join me tomorrow for more Creating iPad Art Sketches!
