Drawing progress on doll

Tonight I got some more work done on the digital doll drawing. I went in with more color and finer detail around the color I'd already laid down. I really want to create something ornate and colorful.

Here's a little detail shot.

Field museum day

Today I found time to visit the field museum and draw. It's been a long time since I last visited, and it's changed a bit - there wasn't as much seating as I would have liked but I stood and drew when needed. I hope to go back again and practice drawing things more.

pattern doll day 2

I got to work on the drawing of the pattern doll a little bit more this evening.

Now that I have a new Wacom tablet (that I got for Christmas) I started working on a design for my twitter - I think. I grew up with nesting dolls and wooden dolls growing up, and I think they influenced my idea of what a doll looks like. I have high hopes for where this illustration is going, though now I'm not sure if I want to put it as a twitter background. Either way, I'm planning on working on this illustration for a few days instead of just a quick sketch. This is a detail of what I hope will grown into a nice finished illustration.

Thoughts on the new year

Just a few new resolutions in the new year- and a plug for my daily drawing blog. To see my daily drawings checkout http://draweachday.wordpress.com

I'll occasionally post here, but we'll see how often it happens as I want to focus on a daily drawing blog. This blog will see more of my pages of quick sketches, longer artwork, and maybe pics from my art group projects!
