Sketch

Practicing faces, particularly eyes.

Chucky

Having the best time with this one. Out of the whole series, I think Bride of Chucky is his best look.

Motorcycle in progress

Catching up with some unfinished business.

New Project

Taking a break from the owl.

She who holds the key

Started sketching this little lady last night. It was my moms idea to put a secret key in her hand, I loved it.

Day 1: Breakfast

Starting my day off with a banana, raspberry, blueberry, peach & orange juice smoothie with vegan sausage and a bear.

New project

Sketched my favorite hound during some downtime at the shelter today. This is Bandit.

He unfolded his arms when I brought out my camera but his arms are always crossed it's one of my favorite things about him and he is always this mellow, I don't even bother putting him on a leash when I take him out. You can find me chilling right here with this boy at the end of my shifts.

New project

Another really cool and challenging new request. This one involves a tree, space and music--the things that make my friend Brandon happy. Such an great concept, I still have no idea how I am going to pull this off but the tree is a good start. I'm already pleased.

New project (rough draft)

A few years ago, my friend Vanessa showed me an interesting picture someone sketched up of a fairy sitting on a lily pad with nothing but a pair of chopsticks. It's one of my favorites I thought it was really sexy so I decided to draw up my own version. I have the original on my old computer so once I can get into that I will have to post it for you to see. I wish I knew the name of the artist.

I can't think of a better model for this piece than Vanessa, herself. She is so naturally pretty with these big beautiful high cheek bones, petite frame and thick long hair, no makeup necessary with her. We don't speak much anymore but she was a huge part of my early years and responsible for a great deal of who I am today. I'm dedicating this one to you, mama fairy.*

Throwback Thursday

Sketch from 2010

Progress of the woods work

I am loving the way this piece is turning out lets cross our fingers it stays that way.

New Project

I had a request to draw my friend and her 3 sisters as fairies in the woods and this is what I have come up with so far. Landscape is not something I typically work on so it has been a real challenge and something I have put off for too long so I am challenging myself to just do it now. I have 3 friends requesting tree pieces at the moment so it's time to step out of my comfort zone. I don't know if it is the familiar woods but so far it feels like home.

Octopus outline

Just learned that an octopus has three hearts. Two pump blood to each of the two gills, while the third pumps blood through the body.

New project

Rough drafting my newest piece. Sorry it has been a few days, I have a friend visiting and haven't had much time to draw but I finally got a sketch in last night.
