Uh oh Frog

On my Zoom call today with Mike Lowery, we had to decide on what prompt to draw. Someone suggested a frog. We have frogs all over the place, here. When my husband and I go for our morning walk, we have to dodge these tiny little frogs. You can barely see them. One morning thereContinue reading “Uh oh Frog”

Horse on a bike sketch

I am taking Mike Lowery’s workshop “Getting Paid to Draw” and on our Zoom call, we were given the task to draw a horse on bike while he did his lesson. This is my horse on a wobbly bike.

Time machine

This is my interpretation of the two bunnies going on an adventure in the desert. For those of you who are curious, the workshop is the “MakeContinue reading “It’s Bunny Month”

Coco Moloko figurine

This is the finished figurine before I bake it. I really should do a maquette of my characters because it makes drawing them a lot easier when there is a model. I find that I can translate the idea in my head to clay much better, too. Plus working with clay is so relaxing. OffContinue reading “Coco Moloko figurine”

sketch pattern to stuffed doll

Here is the stuffed version of my Coco Moloko using what I had around my studio. I thought about going to buy glittery fabric for the frosting, or even just getting another color for the frosting and a different pink for the feet, but in the end I just used what I had in theContinue reading “sketch pattern to stuffed doll”
