This was the first sketch I did in this book. Sometimes I like to cut out magazine bits and pieces and make a collage frame around the page. I just do what ever I'm in the mood for that day and then come up with characters that frame inspires. A drawing prompt.
I've drawn lots of mermaids. Summer makes me NEED to draw them. These two go together. The one on the left is promarker on tan cardstock and on the right is colored pencil on grey paper.
I drew this page while at the beach. Some of the shells/coral bits I found. And nude Tinker Bell. Those dresses never seem to stay on this toy.
My husband. Something else drawn while at the beach.
3/4 view of a woman. And a pixie.
My son.
My 2 year old. Not a great likeness but she doesn't sit still. And I still need lots of practice drawing from real life. When she realizes I'm drawing her she brings me toys to draw too. Not sure why.
More of Kate as I see her the most every day. Looks more like her here.
This was fun. I used pastels to paint clouds. Clouds are relaxing to watch to me. For the top painting, I you tubed videos of clouds and stopped the video when I saw what I wanted to draw. The one below that I painted while watching a how to video. I like the lady at the bottom with her cloud hair. I may do another sketch of her.
I love to see other artist post illustrations of what they wore on a given day. I dress rather boring compared to my kids and decided it might be more fun to draw them. I have many many illustrations blogs I enjoy keeping up with. Character concept art is fun and I also like to see illustrators do portraits of real people in their illustrative style. I'm not sure what my style is, but I would like to be able to draw portraits this way. Simplify the person I'm drawing down but still have it hold their likeness. I'm not good at this. Here is my daughter on 3 different days. It looks nothing like her, but I had so much fun working on it. She has some crazy fashion ideas and I really like some of her t-shirts.
This sketch is just bizarre to me. I love to draw fairies, but this isn't my fav. I think her hair bugs me. Not complete. She's holding a Chinese lantern plant that didn't get colored. You can see how I work around the drawing with sample colors, color notes, etc. I'm good with the mess.
Another What Kate Wore Today. It looks a little more like her but she looks older than 2. She doesn't have baby fat like most 2 year olds and she's taller than average. I think this makes my job drawing her looking her age harder.
What Ben Wore Today. I was really pleased with these.
More sketches. This one of me is. There is likeness but my face is a little long.
Hair. I have many more pages to fill in each book and will post as I go along.
