Fairys!!

I have two weeks left before these wonderful little (hah! 8-1/2 X 11") drawings are due! I worked the day away, putting my novel on the back to get the ink sketches completed! And my hard work paid off! Now all I have left is adding the color! I'm so excited at how these are coming out; they have been so much fun!

Mermaid Collection Finished!

I am so happy to say I have finished the Mermaid Collection! Four 8X10 line drawings done in ink and prismacolor pencils. I am so excited to show them to the lady who ordered them. It was a wonderful collection to work on and I had so much fun doing them. Here are pictures of the final results of the art work.

Coffee Please

A new day dawns, but the sun stays hidden behind a heavy bank of clouds. Oh how I miss the sun. The feel of its warmth on my face as I bask in its glory, but no, there is no sun. Only an endless sky of grey. I can almost feel their giddy anticipation as they wait to expel their watery contents on the already flooded ground.

But the rain stirs my mind and I have a chance to produce. With yesterdays rain I had a chance to finish the second stage of the Mermaid Collection. First stage was the pencil sketches I posted before. The second stage was the line art done in ink. A painstakingly long task using various widths of ink. I think I used up at least four pens drawing the lines.

As much as I would like to begin stage three, adding color, I think I will spend majority of the day revising Soul of the Lost, and writing a paper for school. Stage three of the Mermaid Collection may begin this evening or tomorrow. Either way I have high expectations for the day. Lots of coffee and tons accomplished.

Stage 2 of Mermaid Collection:

New Sketches

The sketches are done! I spent better part of my day getting these cute mermaid sketches finished. A friend of mine wanted some line art done for her daughter for her birthday. Her daughter has Autism and loves to follow lines on maps. After seeing works like the Jellyfish one to the left she thought her daughter would love my line art.



So here are the four sketches I have come up with. Behind the sketches I will put the water like what is above in the Jellyfish picture. I am excited to get them started!
