My Gold Mask(s)

illustrator.

Working on building symmetry and smooth shapes. Also built these as reference templates. Changing the colors around is fun too.

I did these a little while ago. Am cheating a little bit because I don't know if I'm going to finish the piece I'm working on before the end of the month. Also it seemed fitting, while a bit late, to post these for the Spring Equinox.

The Hedge Clipper

Colored Pencil.

She will help you cut things.

Balance

Col-erase.

If she's anything like me in tree pose, those poorly erased bits become "action lines" which represent a great deal of wobble. ...I really don't do yoga regularly enough to be any good at it.

Misty Mask Meeting

Illustrator & Photoshop.

I was gonna do words and owls, but I ran out of steam and caffeine.

Happy Holidays! Hit me up if you want a link to this year's mix and have not already gotten it from me.

Show Offs

Colored Pencils.

Pizazz!

Hibernation

Colored pencils. Photoshop.

Stay warm, everybody.

Uniquely Awkward

Colored Pencils of various kinds.

(My scanner hates subtlety. Oh well. You get the idea.)

Kakapo are so endearing. Keep on truckin', little guys. Waddle your way back to prosperity.

Plant People

Prismacolor Col-erase / Verithins.

I should really start thumbnailing compositions. I bet that's what real artists do. It's sort of ridiculous because I never know what's going on in my own drawings until I get towards the end.

Sad.

Wine & Diamonds

Col-erase.

Hey look, a new blog header.

I have nothing else to say to you. Woobwoobwoobwoob.

Fungus Among Us

Colerase.

There is a mushroom coming straight out of the top of her head. I didn't notice while I was drawing it and managed to miss it up until after I'd scanned the image. Now it is all I can look at. Why didn't I see that sooner? It appears I may have subconsciously wanted her to be a pikmin.

Larger Than Life

Colerase.

Well, it is. Just callin' it how I see it.

On the Plain

Col-erase.

Sort of a useless fence, really.

Rue de L'avenue

Colerase.

Backgrounds. Suddenly I remember why I hate them.

Clearly, the one on the left didn't get the memo about this being the "serious" picture.

Hold that Pose

col-erase.

Any second now, she will break into a musical number complete with song and dance. Just wait for it.

Leaping Lizards

graphite. photoshop.

Jellyfish don't jump. They just blorp around. And while I can't recall an instance of ever having seen a lizard actually "leap" anywhere, at least I find the concept more feasible.

Air Bounce

Col-erase.

Trampoline not pictured.

Hoot

Graphite.

Owls are fun. Arms = less fun.

Does it blink?

Watercolor, col-erase.

It might be a bushbaby. Not entirely sure.

This is a somewhat related YouTube clip.

Bird in the Hand

Watercolor, col-erase.

What's that adage again? Something about birds and a bush? What? I don't know what you're talking about.

Bird Girl

Pencil.

I sort of like drawing on graph paper. It allows me to pretend that I'm doing smart things.

Also, tiny tapered feet are fun.
