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.

Storytelling

Illustrator.

Spin me a yarn, tell me a tale.

Geology 101

illustrator.

Trying to convince myself that I do, in fact, know how to use this silly program. It is not smarter than me.

Camel Rides

Col-Erase.

Explorin' the desert with a trusty dromedary guide.

Any excuse to draw a camel, really.

Pup Parade

Col-erase. (Exception: mint Sharpie.)

A thought that bubbled into a rough sketch. Something about dogs and cookies and dog cookies. Best not to ask.

Happy Indie Pen Dance Day! May each of your individual pens dance with the utmost of joy.

The Best Bat

Graphite.

Class has been sucking up my creative energies lately. Like a sponge. None left for self-motivated art projects or doodles for blogging.

But this is the best bat I've ever drawn. You may be wondering how many bats I've actually drawn in my lifetime. Well shoot, I dunno. More than you'd think. Less than I'd like. Enough to know that this one beats them all, hands down. Figured I'd scan and post him before I did something to ruin his awesomeness.

Willkommen, Bienvenue

Col-erase.

Babelfish says it means 'welcome' in Greek. But it could say 'buttface,' and I would be none the wiser.

Stacked

Graphite.

Totem poles. Thought I'd give 'em a shot. Turns out I stink at symmetry.

That creature in the middle is sort of ambiguous. Some sort of wolf-boar-monkey-badger hybrid.

Swimmingly

Col-erase + Watercolor.

I ran out of green pencil.

(Edit: Fixed the color levels to be less glaringly green. It is better now.)

Mountain Range

Col-Erase + Watercolor.

Oh man. That llama is on a mission.

Sky Jump

Col-Erase, Watercolor. 11 x 15.

This is actually quite large. I could have thumbnailed it so you could click and see the big version in all its scribbly noodle-armed glory, but it's so cute when it's small like this. Why would you want it any other way?

I don't know why I keep drawing birds. All those feathers! Seriously. Molt already.
