I did this drawing after watching Life With Father (a great watch, by the way). I've mostly been working on drawing people, which isn't easy. Farewell for now! May you always be blessed With walls for the wind, A roof for the rain, A warm cup of tea by the fire, Laughter to cheer you, [...]
This was supposed to be Shirley Temple. It doesn't really resemble her, but it was good practice. (And, yes, observant reader, her mouth did close! I wasn't satisfied with how her teeth looked, so I changed it.) This cowboy is one of my favorite drawings I've done. I used a tortillon to shade these two [...]
With some birthday money, I went to Hobby Lobby and bought something which I've had my eye on for a while. (And, much to my delight, I found that it was on sale!!) It's a spinning tool organizer. The pencils, brushes, and other craft supplies I have collected through the years had been lying about [...]
As mentioned in my Month Goals, I want to get better at drawing people. I worked on a couple of faces this week as well as a fun scene from a book I love. I know their eyes are big, but I rather liked the look it gave them. Lucy and Mr. Tumnus from The [...]
I have been slowly filling up an art journal I got for Christmas with art-filled quotes from books, movies, or famous people. Here is what I have finished so far: (Above is a quote from the movie Harvey.) The one above was very fun to draw as I put many characters in it! If you don't [...]
Poor Sissy was showing signs of mouth pain and wasn't eating, so we took her to the vet. He informed us that she had a gum and ear infection! She got a shot for the gum infection and ear drops for the other. She is feeling much, much better now and can eat normally. The picture above [...]
It's been a while since I've posted lately, so I'm going to try to catch up by posting a conglomeration of things I've been up to lately. The drawing above is from the movie version of The Hobbit. It took quite a while to complete, but it was fun to try to capture each of the [...]
I finally finished the DIY fairy house. I hot glued all of the different pieces onto a slice of log I bought from a craft store. I recently entered it into our fair and am looking forward to seeing if it wins any ribbons. Inside the house there is a bed (complete with a comfy [...]
A sketch of Rosie. It doesn't resemble her much, but at least it looks like a Golden Retriever! This was going to just be a normal cat, but it turned into a grumpy cat. This little birdie was trying very hard to meet his reflection in our car windows! And here are these two puppy [...]
I've been working on this drawing a little bit at a time for a few days, and now it's finished! Left to right: Susan, Peter, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie.
