50 Friendly Faces Day 6

Today’s prompt is “large nose.” This is Stuart Goss on The Sktchy App. I hope he doesn’t mind that I took artistic license with his features, lol.

Here is a two page spread from the Firefly story by Zoë Tucker. I started to do the whole spread in color but I really liked the black and white sketch that I did, especially after I blew it up to actual book size. I tweaked the sketch to a final drawing and added theContinue reading “Firefly Two Page Spread”

Happy Mother’s Day

I wish all the Mom’s out there a healthy and Happy Mother’s Day.

Darcy the Giraffe

Darcy loves sweets. Standby for more about Darcy….. This is the whole sketchbook spread. I don’t use the opposing page to keep each sketch clean and undamaged. This is a a sketchbook/journal that I bound from a kit from Innovative Journaling. The paper is Arches Text wove and it is very soft and has aContinue reading “Darcy the Giraffe”

More Flowers

I didn’t think I would say this but I am really enjoying this technique. It’s very liberating. No rules, just drawing with the brush pen what I feel the watercolor marks are telling me to do. I may get a few more pages ready in my sketchbook so I can do more. In the meanContinue reading “More Flowers”
