All Fur

 

This is All Fur, she's a princess that through some uncomfortable circumstances found herself alone in the hallow of a tree in a cloak made up of a thousand animal furs, with an acorn necklace containing three really fancy dresses. I won't spoil it for you. 

 

Anyways, I have a very large book (more like a tomb really) of Grimm fairy tales and the story of All Fur was in it, so I doodled her.

 

Drawings done in pencil.  

 

Updated Snake and Mongoose Tattoo, With more Mongoose

 

As promised, an actual scan of the tattoo and it is joined by some red pencil sketches of some mongoose. The tattoo itself in now partially lined now, but still has a long way to go. I'm pretty much terrified to touch the snake scales... Haha

Sketch Dump

 

Some drawing of people on the bus and then some other drawings done while on the bus when there was no one really to draw. The top three are done in pencil while the bottom two are done in coloured pencil.

 

 

These draws were done while sitting in Tim Horton's, Not all of the same occasion mind you... but all in the same coffee shop. Drawings are done in pen and pencil, there were two that were drawn in blue photo pencil, but they didn't get picked up by the scanner... Boo.

 

 

Just a couple pen drawing done while sitting in the public library with my friend Sam. Most of the time was spent listening to her silently rage over how loud everyone was being despite being in a library. I would have been more annoyed, if I wasn't so amused by her reactions.

 

 

A strange demon shadow creature? I'm not quite sure.. I doodled it after watching the episode of Face Off (can't remember what season) when they worked with some artists from DC comics to create their own super hero. Done in pencil. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ink-pen portrait

 

This started out as a pencil commission from a coworker of her daughter. Unfortunately she had to can the commission part-way through for personal reasons. The picture started to make a very smudged mess in my sketchbook to the point where the picture was hardly recognizable as a person, so I decided to be ambissious (maybe a little too much so). It was going well until I accidentally put too much pressure on the pen while shading the left eye. I then tried to even it out with the rest of the portrait... It worked somewhat, but I still think it looks like I gave the poor girl a big black eye. 

I believe it is finished

So this is the finished still life painting I did. I really love that cork, I really believe that was what the painting needed. This was all done on canvas board with Acrylics and was "won" by my cousin at our family Christimas party this year. 

I was worried that I was going to come off a little narsictic by offering one if my paintings into the Christimas Cringle gift exchange, but my cousin seemed genuiningly excited about it :) 

Tattoo in progress

Once I line and scan this I should be able to get better picture up, but this is what I have so far for a tattoo I'm working on for my friend's little brother. He originally wanted worms killing a bird, but changed his mind to a cobra killing a mongoose. 

He wants it to look comic-like and semi realistic, and then said something about Batman-esque style, so this promises to be fun. 

It's getting there

A few more touches and I think it will be done 

My dog Grace

 

 

These are just a couple drawings I did of my dog in mechanical pencil, while she was sleeping. I was trying to draw her brother too, but he kept moving. 

Progress

I still need to work on the cup on tea, but I think the cookies and the spoon are turning out alright. I may just be tired and delirious though... I'm slowly trying to fade that really awful teapot into the background more, but I don't think I'm being very successful at the moment. I'm just unpracticed in water colour...

A still-life I need to touch up from school, I actually like it, despite it being so heavily weighted to one side, but then again I have never really liked crentral focused still-life's. Or central focused anything really... I guess it just doesn't seem "real" to me, the same goes for realism; it's pretty but sometimes just feels cold to me. I'm not sure if that makes sense at all... But it's how I feel. 

Finished product? Not sure if I like it or not.

I'm pretty sure this is 11x17 paper maybe 12x18, I used markers and pencil crayon and fretted over this picture more than I'd care to admit. 

It caused me a lot of heartache and I'm still not entirely happy with it, but it's done now and so long as my coworker likes it I'm happy. 

Commission for Bertie

This is a commission for a coworker of mine, I have finally started to make progress on it and took the plunge and started to colour it. I have been apprehensive about starting the finally stages because I don't want to make a mistake. So far the 12x18 inch illustration just has pencil, liner, and Coptic maker used, but I will also be using pencil crayon and possibly some paint later for final touches. I have until the end of October to finish this piece. No pressure.

 

This is a portrait of Berite's family, her boy friend, two sons, the youngest son's girlfriend, and four pets. Bertie wanted just busts if the people in her family and herself and full body drawings of the cats and dog. I think I handled the composition pretty well, and I plan on bleeding the colours of the shirts out a little more to play as a background for the animals instead of just having akward blobs of white. 

  

Twinkie

This is my coworker's cat Twinkie, she passed away a couple weeks ago and my coworker commissioned a small picture drawn of her. I wish it was a little better, but I only had a poor quality cell phone picture to go from. 

Done on mayfair, 5x7 inches big, pencil crayon. 

A Dump of Art

The body of the mermaid is done! I'm pretty sure just the blue alone took me a couple hours.

The tail is complete! Now just for the hair, background and final touches. some hours of work down, many to go. 

While at the mall with some friends, I decided to draw my friend's girlfriend's face. She's very pretty, so the drawing doesn't do her justice. 

A quick drawing of a sphinx done in red and blue pencil.

This is just a quick drawing done in pencil of a girl thinking I guess? I was not feeling so great when I drew this but I don't mind the picture at all. I might do something more with it.

The Rose and the Humming bird. Not an innuendo at all... These are just the lines of the drawing, I'm planning on finishing it digitally eventually... But I need more practice. 

Bus Dump

These are drawings I did while either on the bus or at a bus station. They're all done in pen (all blue except for one in black ink down at the bottom) in my purse-sized Mole Skin sketch book (about 4.5 x 6 inches big) I thought I was being pretty sneaky about most of the drawings but I started to get strange looks after I would stare at continuously for too long

Monster

This drawing is a couple years old, but I still love it. The bone details were inspired by a wolf's skeleton and the hair... a drowned rat maybe? I'm not sure.

8.5x11 inch paper and black lining markers.

Mermaid

This drawing started out as the fish in the bottom left hand corner. It then grew into a mermaid-like creature with sea life in her hair. The pattern on the fish was taken from the place-mat I was drawing on. I still have a long way to go... Colouring is proving to take a very long time. 

The drawing is 10x10 inches big, and with pencil, lining markers and pencil crayons. 

The Doctor's Office

This is a drawing I did in pen while waiting to see a doctor. It was a pretty long wait and the sketch itself is 8.5x11 inches large. 

Sketch Dump

All you lucky duckies get to be privy to my collection of silly drawings done in pencil and pen in my sketch book or random pieces of paper. 

The first bit of sketches are characters from the comic my bf and I want to write (providing I get a story line together). We're still working on the fourth character, so right now we only have Eve, Ryce and Jeik. 

Every other sketch was either done at work (me lurking customers and security) or waiting for a bus, or even on a bus waiting for it to leave. 

These are just some ideas/ designs that popped into my head. The first one (on the left) was supposed to be a girl drawing armor on herself to protect herself. The second I was going to draw stylized doodles in the streams coming from the eyes, but never got around to it. Then there's a random girl and a small sketch of a girl looking up at hanging keys (I think I'll re-draw that picture on a long piece of paper). Another random girl... and finally a girl with dandelions growing out of her side.

So many sketches

The first five sketches were done (in pen) while I was waiting with my brother in a jury duty waiting room. Despite what the (80's) informational video said, no one was happy about being there. 

The two gentle man on the left were drawn while I was sitting in a Coffee shop. On the right is a blind contour drawing of my boyfriend's face I while we were in Pickle Barrel waiting for our food, and below that is a drawing of a man waiting for the bus. These drawings were done in pencil. 

These are just some doodles I may turn into Illustrations later. The middle one is a self portrait of sorts made up of a giant Celtic knot and some Irises at the top, while the two on the ends were inspired by my best friend Sam (who is peachduck on blogger). Drawing done in pencil and black lining markers.
