Friday Sketchbook no. 2.

A little behind on my sketching time this week (intense projects going on), so I’m pulling from my ‘archives.’ More new sketches to come next week!

Friday Sketchbook no. 1.

One thing’s for sure— I draw about 10,000 faces, eyes, etc in my sketchbook. In the efforts of blogging more, sketching more, practicing more with ink and wash, and getting ideas readied (and yes, trying to draw more than just faces), I’m going to start posting pages from my sketchbook every Friday. Next week, I’ll post some Alice themed sketches since my new post for Picture Book Report goes up on Monday! 

Have a great weekend, my friends! I’ll be drawing most of it.

Rose City Bestiary, pt. 3 of many.

Some more updates to the bestiary…. as usual, lots more to come. Really enjoying washes, though I can’t wait to have more practice!

Rose City Bestiary, pt. 2 of many. (Pokemon edition!)

So it’s the eve of my birthday, and I’ve got two full days off which means I’m knocking out as many of my Bestiary commissions as I can. (You’ve all been super patient and I appreciate it! I think I’m going to use it as an excuse to practice washes—so most will be wash, not just black ink) Here are two from the Bestiary— both characters from Pokemon. Zigzagoon is a raccoon-like Pokemon that I don’t think I ever caught—he’s newer and was pretty tricky to ‘catch’ in this commission! Here he’s hanging out with some delicious berries. And the second is Bulbasaur— a classic!

If anyone wants to commission me for further Pokemon, feel free— this was surprisingly a lot of fun to try and pull these creatures into my style.

Next up- a Boston Terrier and a few more surprises.
