Despair

Sorry about the emo tone on the title :P It seemed appropriate considering how sad this chick looks. I'm using the red pencil because I was told it doesn't show up when you ink it and scan it in... Not sure if that true.. but if I ever find my pens then I'll let you know. :P

The comic I used as a reference is called Questionable Content. Go check it out sometime

Sacrificial Beauty

I call this piece "The Evil Red Shoe of Sacrificial Beauty". :P I went to a banquet last night, and wore a pair of 4 inch patent leather shoes. O_o They looked great, but were so freakin' painful to wear by the end of the night. I decided to use them as my muse for the night, and though it says "1-29-11" on the picture, again it was after midnight, so technically it was todays drawing. I'm home from the Great Wolf Lodge (where we had the banquet) so if I'm not too wore out by the weekend of fun and frolic, I'll do another one to make up for my cheating.

Questionable Content

Todays project was done yesterday.. but technically today since it was after midnight, I feel like I'm cheating, and I may do another one later to make up for it, but I'm going to be gone all day, so hear ya go.

Oh yeah the one on the bottom is not an original. I drew it while looking at a comic I read. http://www.questionablecontent.net/

Webcomic Dreams

I made an attempt at a webcomic once. I never got it online, but I drew up and inked about 16 strips before I stopped. I don't remember why I stopped, but honestly, I would like to do it again, I just don't seem to have an idea. Anyway, todays drawing is in the style of those comics. I thought it would be a nice trip down memory lane.

"Confused" I Think

So I honestly had NO idea what to do for today, which I hope doesn't become a trend... :(  Anyway I just started, and though I tried to portray anger, but I think it turned out to be closer to frustrated, or irritated instead. Somewhere in the middle I thought it would be interesting to try and do a "He who must not be named" (hehe Happy Potter joke) kinda thing, which is why the eyes are a bit longer than they should have been. In the end though I think it worked with the glasses and over all emotion I was trying to convey. I'm proud that I finally did an emotion that wasn't happy, or "innocence".

Wrinkles, and Folds

Found a tutorial about wrinkles on clothing, and since that is definitely not one of my strong points, I decided to do this one. It's always weird for me to not draw the whole body. It feels like I'm cheating.

After I was done, my husband came home with my box of art supplies,(they are currently being stored at my grandmas house.) and I found some drawings from a few years ago. I came across this one, and I just had to share it with you. It was one of the first I ever inked, and colored. I was so proud of it then, and aside from a few minor things, I have to say I'm still proud of it now.

Sometime in '08

I used another Mark Crilley tutorial to do todays study. Check out the link here:

Bellaroo

The more I looked at my sketch for the day, the more I disliked it... something about the eyes kept throwing me off. I guess it kinda reminded me of an alien the way the entire eye was the pupil. That really only works with more simplistic characters, Anywho... I decided to do a new drawing to make up for it. So here ya go.
