May Sketch-a-day: May 12

Well, kinda went off the rails and didn't draw anything for a few days. So, I have three drawings to make up before the end of the month.

Did a hand drawing in the meantime to get back on track.

May Sketch-a-day: May 8

Reference for this is one of the photos for the latest Trinquette Challenge on Facebook. I don't plan to enter the challenge but I thought it was an interesting pose, with a really tough (for me) angle to the face.

May Sketch-a-day: May 7

A little change of pace...

May Sketch-a-day: May 6

May Sketch-a-day: May 5

A challenging pose. Strange legs; not sure I got them right. Or the rest of it, for that matter.

May Sketch-a-day

Sketches from May 1 through today, May 4.

Can I keep it up? Who knows! I'm going to try.

Wonder Woman Portrait

Watercolor, pencil, ink, digital stuff.

Trinquette Challenge * Vampirella

 

Just managed to do something for this weekly thing before the deadline. These challenges intimidate the hell out of me...each one features more incredible art by amazing artists than the last one. It's all I can do to pencil in something decent. 

But, I made myself take the leap this time. JUST DO IT.

Illustration Friday: Tail

...as in, ponytail.

Pencil drawing with digital color and additional scribbles.

Bettie Page Bond Girl

My entry for Trinquétte Publishing's Drawing Challenge on Facebook.

I think Bettie Page would have made an interesting "Bond girl."

Azog the Defiler

Portrait of a pale orc.

Because...why not?

Pencil sketch with digital watercolor enhancements.

Recent Life Drawings

Illustration Friday: Hidden

Another collaboration with Jacqueline Garno and one of her altered papers. I made several changes and added hand-drawn elements.

Somewhat inspired by a quote from Brian Eno: Honor thy error as a hidden intention.

Trying out some new, extra-soft, extra black pencils — General's Kimberly Premium Graphite Drawing Pencil 9XXB. Nice and black, but still not as soft as I was hoping for!

Pencil (obviously) plus digital color. Click to make it bigger, okay?

More Life Drawings

Several sessions at the Old Town life drawing drop-in, Summer 2013.

Life Drawings

Several sessions at the Ella Sharp museum, Summer 2013.

Collaboration — Web of Mind

 

My friend Jacqueline Garno and I collaborated on this limited edition giclée print. She provided the altered paper original from her collection of wonderful papers, and I did some digital manipulations and additions.

Cardboard Portrait 2

Another cardboard portrait of Jessica.

Cardboard portrait

I saved the pristine cardboard liner from a box of cat food and grabbed a few Prismacolor pencils and scribbled a portrait of the lovely Jessica, using her photo stock.
