Thank You Card, flowers
A Thank You card I made for my aunt & uncle for sending me tasty cookies. This style of outline with black pen & coloring with colored pencils (or in Photoshop) is very reminiscent of my high school art. Blarg!

Girl in a fur coat
... reading a book on her iPhone. Didn't really feel inspired to finish this; perhaps later.
Also, you'll notice there's a tiny figure on the bottom right.. oh well, it's a sketch book.

Zounds, a new blog theme
Is it gaudy? Yes/No.
Till I design my own blogger theme- which I'm working on!- this will be the theme of the blog. Part of me really likes it... part of me wants to print out the webpage and tear the sheet of paper to shreds.

Year of the Ox.
... and in this drawing blog's case, it's the year of the minotaur.
First few attempts focused on the fantastical image of a minotaur.. with a bit of the cartoon-y. I started using a blue pencil to sketch then go over with graphite to draw the actual lines. This sketch was done over the break.
Consider next a more realistic view of the minotaur... where one might actually place a bull's head on a human body. The focus of this sketch was the face and getting a bull's head more realistic- working off a photo, obviously. Sketch also done over the break.
Various sketches- one of a bull, one smaller of the body of a minotaur- trying to see how the whole body might look. This sketch as well, over the break.
And finally, one last sketch from today- mixing a bit of the more real aspects of a bull. Having some time off from drawing minotaurs, I found this one a bit lacking and certainly looking a bit more cartoon-y than I desired.

Rooster Pitcher
What if the rooster pitcher on my kitchen table looked a bit more animate? ... and cartoon-y.
