Lots of new for me with this drawing....it's my first original and while it isn't amazing, I'm pretty pleased. I usually do front on portrait style so the face is only so-so but I'm happy with the scale of the body. I do need to work more on doing full body drawings though. I also added a few background "props"....again something I never do. So I'm ( Read more... )

Life kind of got stagnant for a while but this summer while redoing our home (which is still an ungoing process) I've become excited to change parts of my life too. My kids are getting older and busier, which means I'm getting busier too... my new life choices don't include aging...lol. Anyway, that being said I've made a decision to pass ESS.com ( Read more... )

I haven't drawn in months because real life got more real and my kids got crazy busy ergo Mom got crazy busy. So I decided that this year I would make the time again. I love how I feel when I am drawing, it's a good zen place for me. Right now I find I'm really being pulled toward celtic/medieval things...possibly due to my newest obsession, the tv ( Read more... )

 Lordy I love a man with deep smile lines around his eyes but it doesn't make him easy to draw.  I haven't seen his show Suits but I am very familiar with the Harvey/Mike Slash videos and fanfics....I almost don't want to watch the show because it will probably ruin all the non-canon yumminess for me.  Again I have no scanner so the details are ( Read more... )

 This is from the ATWT Anniversary party....His eyes/lips look a little feminine but overall I'm happy with it.  Two drawings in one week...need to keep it up...always puts me in a good place.

It feels like forever since I've taken the time to draw something. It's such an amazing feeling when you start with a blank page and look down a couple hours later and actually see something.  Drawing is my "in the moment" activity...time flies and I just feel in that really good place.  Yes this is another elf...Sometimes I look at it and see a ( Read more... )

Eric has generously signed and donated two unique ATWT's items to be auctioned to benefit the Vermont Shakespeare Company. The first is Dr. Reid Oliver's Harvard Diploma, which was seen on the wall of his Dallas office on the first day Reid was on our screens. The second is a script (episode #13,851...air date Sept. 7,2010) The final script for ( Read more... )

 This is loosely based on a painting by agalloway....I was hoping to do it in colour but kind of lost my nerve.  We just discovered that my old scanner won't work remotely with the new Mac  (:sadface) so until I can move it back to my old laptop and re-connect it I have to keep using my camera to load pictures.  Sadly it doesn't come anywhere close ( Read more... )

This is Van. He's looking a bit like a little boy in a man's suit. His eyes and lips always give me a bit of grief when I try to draw him.  I actually had to erase and re-draw the eyes 3 times before saying no more...(Once I sign/date it, I don't touch it again.)  He so pretty though I have to keep trying so I'm sure you'll see more of him in my ( Read more... )
