Girl with braid

Cupcake bat

It's a cupcake, it's a bat. It's both! Blurry pic, figure I'll do a cuter/color version in the vaguely near future because black and white sprinkles don't work.

Small watercolor

Been very busy w/my sister's wedding. Quick watercolor w/pen on her RSVP card.

Tree

Watercolor & pen sketch - blurry & faded edges courtesy of bad lighting + my iPhone camera.

Self portrait w/new hair

I redid a part of the self portrait I made a while ago to reflect my updated hair color.

Figure studies

There's an app on the iPhone called RandomPose that's great for (wait for it) random poses.

Pen w/watercolor (click for bigger pic)

Illustration Friday's theme is "pattern". I like using magazines as sketchpads because of the texture & pattern of the blocks of text.

Magazine sketch #7: Lady w/gloves

Another magazine sketch, click for bigger pic.

Disney Divas

I recreated the Marvel Divas cover with Disney Princesses.

Charcoal pencil #3

Drawing #3, in which I realize I'm left handed and have to wash my hands between drawings or else they look like this.

Charcoal pencil #2

Charcoal pencil

I was trying out charcoal pencil sketches. This is a girl with a bird in her hair.

Magazine sketch #5: Long faced lady

Today I've been doing my drawing-a-week thing for exactly a year. I was fairly successful for the most part. I missed a week here or there but made multiple posts during other weeks, so I have 65 total for the year. Yay for drawing!

The last of my drawings from the magazine sketches I did a week or so ago.

Dr. Sketchy's: Raquel Reed in a tribute to "celebrity"

My 1/2 minute drawings are getting better.











The first challenge is always an opposite hand drawing. Usually I forget to label those and wonder why I have a randomly horribly drawing in my book. This time I remembered.




She was wearing really large sunglasses for most of the longer poses. They did not turn out well in sketchpad land.


Sorry for the huge post, RSS feed. :)

Magazine sketch #4 Octo-cover

I added quick washes of color in Photoshop because otherwise it was too confusing.

Magazine sketch #3: Hope to Cope if Your Guy...

This one is Sharpie instead of my regular pen. Not sure I like the sharpie as much.

RIP John Hughes

chris lamb: Seriously, if there's not a web comic tomorrow of John Hughes at the pearly gates saying to St. Peter "Check under 'Abe Froman'?", I'm going to be really disappointed.
me: I know what I'm drawing tonight!!
chris lamb: OH MY GOD YOU HAVE TO
me: I will :D
chris lamb:. (and give me credit!)
me: duh
