Horizons

I normally don't like to leave art work unfinished. It makes me feel like... well... like I'm not done. (Duh) :P not overly satisfied with this one, but mostly I'm trying to get down the different motion of the head and neck, and how that relates to the placement of the facial features. I have the most experience with profiles, and head on's (no pun intended) so I think it's time to broaden my horizons. Wish me pretty drawings!

Emo Mona Lisa

Not sure what to say about this guy. I did the hair in red so I could go back over it, and not confuse the lines later on. Honestly I'm super proud of it. He kinda feels like a cross between a male Mona Lisa, and a late 20's Emo boy. I love the shy little smile on his face... *blush*

Golf Ball

I was aiming for a head tilted up, and slightly to the side like the tutorial I found (same one from yesterday). I think I got there. I'm happy with the over all result. I think his adam's apple makes him look like he swallowed a golf ball though... :P

(Again, if the original artist sees this, I'm not claiming it as my own, just using it as a study. Please don't sue me.)

Googled

A while back I googled some tutorials, and saved the pictures that I liked for future reference. Todays drawing is one of those. I made some minor changes, (the original had horns and pointy ears). Overall I love it. I've worked hard trying to master the different 1/4 turns of the face.

P.S. If the original artist finds this. I'm not claiming that I created the original, I just can't post the link to it 'cause I can't find it. :P

My Ass

Yes.. yes... that's where my sketch came from. Also this is what happens when you take a tired artist, who has been taking care of her sick toddler all day, and make her wait for her husband so she can go to bed. :P

Sorry about the poor picture quality... I didn't want to wake up the aforementioned toddler by turning on anymore lights.

Sketchy girl... the bed, the bed is callin'. (sung to the tune of Danny boy)

Holding

I know I said I was done with the hands, but this one called to me. I think it turned out really well. So, victory for me :P

Gone

I didn't much feel like drawing today, I went to a funeral. My husbands cousin died in a tragic car wreck.... thus the sad, weird, crying, emoticon lookin' face. I don't want to get all philosophical on you, but honestly going to a funeral makes you very aware of your loved ones. My daughter for example. I can't.. don't want to imagine the kind of emotional turmoil that her parents are going through. I hardly knew Brandi, and yet I found myself crying at her memorial, partially because today would have been her 37th birthday, and that just seems too young to die, but also because I put myself in her parents position... and I don't think (as cliche' as it is to say) that ANY parent should have to bury their children. There should be a law... definitely should be a law against it...
