OK, NOW THERE IS ART.

I'm taking a class at the union and it's more of a lecture class, so I fell back into my old habit of doodling in my notebook. For some reason I find it a lot easier to get into things when I'm drawing on lined paper. I guess the vast, pristine expanse of a sketchbook page intimidates me ha.


(her face was so weird after I scanned it in and flipped it around. I tried to move things around but it still doesn't look quite right. franken-face.)




I don't advocate smoking, but I like drawing it. Makes the hands more interesting. C:

    Yay, pretty-lady art! I really like the girl with the long, fancy cigarette.

    I feel the need to go buy a pack of smokes now...and maybe drink some tea in a pretty dress, too.

    Good to see you posting again, Carrie.

    Ryan only gets to the pretty dress part, too much effort for smoking or tea-ing.

    Fancy drawings! Post more!

    @Ryan: that's how real ladies do it, a smoke in one hand and a daintily held teacup in another :D

    Wow! One thing I really love about your artwork is that it's not all the same style. Sometimes your lines are sketchy, and sometimes they're solid, and sometimes they look realistic and sometimes they're cartoony... you're just very diverse!
