Jason and Mollie

Mollie is long gone, but she is still with us as we talk about her all the time and remember her sweet nature. 

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?

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.

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.

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.

not even a close representation of him, but I gave up.
