My First Illustration Friday

I have been wanting to join the illustration friday crew for a long time. This is my first attempt and it isn’t a finished illustration. I was able to make a rough color comp, but I know at least one person that will feel the nostalgia with me. O.A.T.S. is a bluegrass festival in PennsylvaniaContinue reading “My First Illustration Friday”

Summer Visitors

I have recently realized I love drawing birds. I probably should have realized this a while ago, given that if I aimlessly doodle a little bird appears upon the page. The clarity came through with a few recent events. First were our many trips to the zoo, seeing Flamingos and learning that their upper beakContinue reading “Summer Visitors”

Progress

And sketches

Surprise

Although, I am feeling my sketch more: I need to go back to the drawing board. My sketch composition is working better. In part because the cat is looking to the left and there is the danger, helping the eye to rotate around the page. In the full color piece, you are left hanging andContinue reading “Surprise”

Old and New

who doesn’t love a snail? Vampires are out people, the new hit. . . Zombie Unicorns.

Late

This past weekend we went down to NJ. I don’t like excuses but, the trip up rooted my routine and I haven’t finished my husband’s choice for today. The theme will be a repeat conjured by a talk my husband and I had during the car ride home. We discussed the recent posts and IContinue reading “Late”

What I was drawing then

I recently pulled out my childhood sketchbooks. It is really funny to look through at what I was drawing then and where I was trying to go. So I thought I would share a couple of pages. This is the first page in my first sketchbook. I still remember where I was when I madeContinue reading “What I was drawing then”

Crash Test Frogs

I actually made time to color this week’s husband’s choice! I was only mildly influenced by Sheep in a Jeep. Okay I was very influenced. However, my characters are frogs. It seems I love drawing jovial frogs on the fly. This guy is my favorite. I have decided to name him Schmitty.

Pippi, Alfonso, and Mr. Nilsson

The past week has been catching whatever hours I could to draw this and watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I blame my new obsession with Buffy on Dani. Thank you, I love watching this show! Anyway, the Pippi piece, I think I am going to use it as a new postcard/promo piece. What do youContinue reading “Pippi, Alfonso, and Mr. Nilsson”

2nd Visit to Stone Zoo

We went to the Stone zoo last Friday. Lucien was entertained by the animals and my Dad and GG so, I could draw! The Gibbons were a huge hit to all. Sadly it started raining and I was wasn’t able to draw the Aye-Ayes or Snow Leopard. Next time!

Rebecca’s Choice

This past weekend my Dad and Rebecca visited us. I wasn’t working on much since we were spending time together. Although, we did take a trip to the zoo and I sketched the animals because they watched Lucien, we watch General Hospital so I sketched during the show, and then they requested a painting. So,Continue reading “Rebecca’s Choice”

Fish with Personality

One more round of my Ripples is coming to Ripple. Here are my sketches that led up to the finals. Speaking of fish with personality, I showed Lucien Finding Nemo yesterday. He was upset about numerous scenes, when Nemo is taken, when the sharks try to eat Marlin and Dory, and when Marla tries toContinue reading “Fish with Personality”
