Cruisin is wonderful

Cruises are wonderful. I just got back from a week long cruise and the weather was perfect! I am almost finished with the turtle, don't worry, I'll get it done, I promise! I have my thesis project to work on this semester so I won't have as much time to draw as I thought I did, but don't worry, I'll squeeze in drawings the best I can. Turtle will be posted soon, but for now, enjoy my colored pencil drawings of seahorses.

Babies, babies, babies

So it seems like a lot of friends of mine are having babies left and right. I had drawn this image with colored pencil for my inlaw's neighbors for their little one. They had a tropical/pooh theme, and this is what I went with.

Turtle Day 3

Well, the turtle is close to being finished. I've started the shell. I am hoping my next image of the turtle will be the final image.

SUPERBEN!

So I have a dear friend of mine that absolutely loves Superman....and we even call him a superman since he is so friggin fast when it comes to running in kickball. So here's to you Ben and your speed! Hope you like it!

Turtle Day 2

So this is as far as I've gotten on day two of the turtle. I'm getting closer to finishing it. Hopefully I can get it done before I leave for my cruise. Its starting to come to life! All that's left is his shell and its a pretty big shell, but I can do it!

Mumble

So I saw Happy Feet a few weeks ago and loved it. It was very cute. So while I was at work today I whipped up a quick drawing of Mumble in Illustrator. I am still working on the turtle hand-drawing and will continue to post updates on him as well. But for now, enjoy little Mumble as he dances into your hearts!

Turtle: Phase 1 & 2

One of my best friends loves turtles, so I am going to draw a turtle in her honor. You know who you are girl! So the first step when I draw is lightly sketch out what I want in pencil. Then I start to fill in shading and what not with micron pens slowly but surely. This is about 4 hours worth of work right here. The size of this is about 14x17 on bristol board. This one is going to take awhile, so I'm going to keep doing a little at a time until its finished. I'll take photos of it for now and then scan in the final image. I'll post my progress on this little guy throughout the week(s). Hope you enjoy it!

Boxing Gal

I drew this boxing girl in Illustrator for a client back a few months ago. The model didn't have on boxing gloves and wasn't punching originally. He wanted me to draw her as a boxer, but still sexy. So this was the result. Don't get too excited gentleman readers. :)

Kylie

So my best friend has a little girl, and I decided to draw her in Illustrator. I'm having fun illustrating in that program since its been awhile. So this is little Kylie. Hope you enjoy it!

welcome

Welcome to my first entry to my blog page. I am going to try and add artwork everytime I post. I need to start drawing again. Its been so long since I have drawn. I've really been trying to work on my Illustrator skills, so the first drawing I am going to add is of a rottweiler puppy. I have a rottie so yeah, she's my inspiration.

Hopefully I'll be posting more soon!
