21 Day Challenge - Day 4

I just had to sneak a girl in, heehee. Running short on drawing time. Have to get ready for BREAKING DAWN!! Maybe I should have drawn Bella OR Bella as a little girl. Too bad Bella and Edward can't have kids! Yikes I'm talking about characters in a book!

Breaking Dawn!!

Tonight is the NIGHT!! "Breaking Dawn" hits the shelves. I will be attending the event tonight with Holly, Shelby, Britt, and friends. I just hope I'm not the OLDEST fan there. We've read Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse so we're ready for Breaking Dawn. What a phenomenon! It should be fun, fun,... if I can stay awake!

21 Day Challenge - Day 3

I'm not sure where Grandpa came from, but in addition to drawing more boys, I'm adding the challenge of drawing more men. I'm going to try in the next few days to get some more action going. Hmmmm.. maybe Grandpa dancing?

21 Day Challenge - Day 2

Ok, Day 2 and I drew another boy! Granted, his eyes are closed but it's a boy! He popped into my mind from a doodle... Ricky is his name and he's saying his prayers. He loves airplanes and playing outside. His dog, Skip, sits patiently with him. This challenge is going to be great for me.

21 Day Challenge - Day 1

I'm joining the 21 Day Challenge even THOUGH I am couple of months late! I was inspired by my friend Deb completing the challenge. Her challenge was inspired by Chickengirl's challenge. Also check out Gina Perry who began the challenge. I'll post a new sketch each day so check back to see my progress. I plan to draw more boys, as I tend to draw girls all the time. Also, I'd like to experiment with some digital sketching plus try my hand at some collage -digital and traditional. I figure this will be a great place to try things out!

HAPPY NEW YEAR - 2008

One of my intentions this year is to post more frequently to this blog. I've had family things come up, but I'm trying to get back with it now! This illustration is my winter mailing. It did take a while to finish it and because of that I'm now working on some different ways of painting faster. Being from the Deep South, we frequently had marshmallow roasts outside with rather nippy weather... which might seem odd to some, but was very commonplace for me growing up.
I hope everyone had wonderful holidays, didn't eat too much, (but enjoyed yourself!) and have jumped into 2008.

Illustration Friday -Soar

GIRLS SOAR!!!
Trish and Scooter love flying a few touch-and-goes with her mom on sunny days. What girl wouldn't love to have a pilot mom?

This is my Illustration Friday entry for this week's topic "Soar". It was done a while back but I think it fits the theme. My New Year's Resolution is to work on my speed to get new work out in a shorter amount of time!!
Petal to the medal!
