This is an illustration I did for my workplace's blog.

Day 28 Drawing

I think I'm slowly figuring out what I actually like to draw. Still playing with techniques. Today for my draw each day blog I did a sketch of Edgar Allan Poe. My other blog, draweachday.com can be found at:

drawings

I've got another blog - where I'm trying to post a drawing each day. Visit https://draweachday.wordpress.com/ to see what I've managed. Today's post is a drawing off my Kindle of Virginia Woolfe.

today's drawings

Sat down and painted for about 3 hours tonight. Maybe 4. Here's the three things I worked on - mostly testing how gouache works, and some watercolor techniques I watched in a youtube video I found a link for on twitter.

flowers

Flowers in a vase.

coffee cups

This is something I'm working on at work that I thought I'd share.

flowers

Work project in process.

Gourd Watercolor

I recently had another big life change - I got a new job. I may have more time to draw now. Here's hoping. These are some gourds I purchased a few weekends ago to draw from.

Things I do

This is what I do sometimes at work. Remove logos from packaging so I can put our customer's logos on them. The last image was hardest to do since it has so many reflections. Click below to see more.

face doodle

I did a face doodle. But somehow lost it while saving. Sigh.

sketch

i've been falling behind quite a bit. I have been drawing, just not posting, and I hope to remedy this soon. Here's the beginning of a sketch I'm working on. The park closed and security shuffled me out before I could get very far. Who knew parks in the city close so early! It was a lovely way to spend the evening after work. I'm trying to get practice in drawing buildings, something that was never a strong-suit with me.

other art

Art I post here is usually vector, or photoshop. Thought I'd post a picture I took of a few rocks I painted after listening to a TED conference.

its snowing out...

Felt the need to change my background to reflect what the city will look like tomorrow (on twitter). When lake shore drive is shut down, stuff flies off of Wrigley field, and CPS schools are actually closed for a snow day, you KNOW the weather is bad in Chicago.

rabbit

2011 is the year of the rabbit, so I designed a cute bunny. I'll put it on something in my zazzle store.

pinup

Ok here's the pinup illustration I've been working on. I think it's as far as I'm going to take it.

baby shower illustration....

I'm working on invites for my friend's baby shower. I'm quite happy with how they're coming out since I have free reign to design. I still think it needs flowers in the grass below the stork.

I've also been drawing different exercise drawings this week, I may find time to scan and post them here later this week. For now, here's a low-res preview.

Oh twitter.

I was going to update my background with a WIP background until I made a new one that's even better...but turns out I can't seem to update my new Twitter background. So here's a doodle I did.

big jaw

This is my sketch for the "sketch of the day" on sketchaholic. I'm trying to draw more, since I love to draw and I don't really get to do so in my day job.

Fungus Creature

Here's a look at my sketchoholic entry for their daily drawing topic. This is my version of a fungus creature.

whiskers sketch

I'm sketching a topic of the day. Whiskers. As you can tell, I only spent a really short time on it.
