Sketching

A few sketches I've done recently experimenting with different styles!

ArtBARK! Contest Entry

Last week I worked on an entry for the ArtBARK! Contest and raffle which is sponsored by Bone Adventure and Stray Dog Arts. I decided to draw Eddie, a Catahoula Leopard dog that we fostered a few years back!

This is the finished drawing;

It was quite a challenge to draw all the fur and took about two and a half days to finish! I used Blick studio graphite pencils, Copic markers and a white gel pen for this piece. :)

Here's a work in progress shot;

Tonight I'm going to a gallery opening to see it hung along with all of the other entries and the work of Jessie Marianiello of Stray Dog Arts! I'm really excited to see all of the entries, there will be a lot of good artwork there!

Latest Sketches

These are a few character sketches I've drawn recently!

I'm going to try and do some finished pieces with a few of these characters, maybe something with watercolor as I haven't used my watercolors in a while! :)

Eye drawings

This past week I've been sick in bed so I'm sorry I haven't been blogging! These are some of my latest eye drawings!

I used colored pencils and ink to draw this eye. I haven't used my Prismacolor pencils in a while, I forgot how much I enjoy drawing in color!

I used graphite and micron pens for this drawing of a baby's eye.

and I used graphite and micron pens for this eye drawing too. :)

Have a wonderful week!

Self Portrait

  

This is a graphite drawing I made earlier this year from a photo of myself as a toddler! The hair was really fun to draw with the little sprout!
