Draw a Smiley Face

Today's drawing prompt was to draw "a smiley face". 

I'm sorry he has a knot on his head. 

I guess I am not good on the up curve of drawing circles. ha.

Drawing Eyes

One of my Christmas presents from my husband was a little book with pages and pages full of drawing inspiration. I opened the book one day to a random page, and was prompted to draw an eyelash.

Drawing eyes is a lot easier than I thought. As long as you get the basics, and it's recognizable, then your own interpretations on shading, light, size, shape will more than likely be a success.

The ONE thing I have a problem with, oddly enough, are the eyelashes. I look at other sketches of eyes online and the eyelashes have this sharp curve on them that I just can't replicate. I can draw an eye, but a single eyelash is giving me fits. Crazy, right?

Venus of Willendorf On Edge. First doodle of the year!

I picked up my ipad and opened the Paper app last night and drew this voluptuous lil' lady. They have new tools in the app where you can cut and paste shapes, so it was fun to play with that. I wanted to make her in the same vein as the Venus of Willendorf, whose body shape I can  relate to completely. ha.

Doodle While You Work #11: Flip Girl

My little flip girl pencil sketch. When I first drew her hair, I thought, Darth Vader. 

Hopefully that isn't what you see first, or at all.

This was fun to make. I like this guy's round face. 

Doodle While You Work #9: Andy Warhol, is that You?

My husband just sat down next to me as I was editing this doodle and asked if it was supposed to be Andy Warhol. I looked at it, and thought, hmmm, kinda does look like him, doesn't it? So, Andy it is.

Doodle While You Work #7: Girl/Boy With Hat/Headband

Here is yet another doodle. I don't know what this is supposed to be. 

Boy with a military cap or girl with a headband. I'll leave it up to you to decide.

Doodle While You Work #5: Pig Tails or Pony Tails

More work doodles. You know how it is. =)

Do you call them pig tails or pony tails? Or something else entirely? 

If you think about it, a pony tail or a pig tail would be singular and in the back, wouldn't it?

Franz Made With Paper by 53

Franz came shortly after Fancy (previous post). He's not as happy...or as cute. But I love his hat!

Fancy

I don't know where this one came from. I was just trying to draw a ribbon banner at first, and then the word fancy popped in my head, started drawing a girl, and she ended up looking a bit German. ha.

Mr. Magnum Is A Grumpy Old Dog

Mr. Magnum is Jason's dog, and he is very old and grumpy.
He doesn't like to be touched.
He still makes us laugh and I think he is going to live forever.

Jason #4. Happy 44th.

Today is my husband's birthday. I drew this of him last night while we were watching TV. I think it took a little over 2 hrs. Good thing about the Paper by 53 app is you can erase and start over as many times as you need (which I needed a lot) without ruining real paper. But, I'm pretty happy with it. It's the closest I've come to his true likeness so far.

Just a bad one, but at least it's something.
