Erm?

COLOR! BLUE HAIR!

You know...I'm not entirely sure if ultimately I drew a girl or a teenage boy. Their left eye is kinda gimpy. I have such little patience for color. I was excited when I could finally put down some highlights. That and add some birthmarks. I LOVE characters with moles.

Long Overdue Dog Portraits

This drawing is over 7 years old. That's longer than the relationship I have with my husband. My excuses for taking this long were good enough for my Aunt (who requested this portrait of her two dogs after they passed away 7 years ago) but honestly, after 7 years....it's like saying life was my excuse for not finishing something.

Still, for this Christmas my Aunt was thrilled with it and I was more than happy to have drawn it for her, and for something so old, with all the things I could have done to make the drawing better, I'm still proud of what I've done.

Time management! Working on it...

Sparks and Comittment Issues

I can't say I know what's going on in this image. It's late and I'm pretty tired. I've been moody = moody art. Something about today or the last couple of days hasn't been sitting right with me. I'm guessing it's the weather. When that happens I try to do something artistic with it and end up with partially formed ideas. Like trying to start a fire and only managing to create heat, or sparks, and never managing to keep a sustainable flame. 

Aaarraghflabah, here's my spark. I'm not good at producing complete work regularly so I think I'll start with producing any art regularly and continue working with my artistic commitment issues and getting to know my new tools :)

First Post! And it's a Meme...

A then and now meme (Correction: a "Teen Meme") I tricked a friend of mine into doing one of these so he made me promise to finish mine this weekend, more than a year later. So here it is!
