inspired by chenny's awesome girl-gnome drawings ;)

okay, with some encouragement, I'm going to try the daily sketch thing*. Hopefully it'll force me to draw more! :)

I never could get the hang of hacky sack.


*except i might take some breaks for longer posts

the woman wonder

a little something I drew for Rad, since he seems to have been on a bit of a Wonder Woman kick

girls

...and their hair.

We have a nice little studio gallery here at Nickelodeon, and this month it was dedicated to art by the R & M crew. I am, of course, biased (hehe)--but I thought it was a really great show. I'm lucky to work with such tremendously talented artists :)










Here are the two pieces I did. They came out rather small (both under 5x7''), and were done in watercolor (acrylic for the girl-inking). And because I thought it was interesting, I've included the color palettes for their respective paintings. I got lazy and mixed right on the paper, those were all the colors I used. The scanner killed some of the colors :(

And the original sketches, if you're interested:

my gift to you.

they have to stay cute and chubby somehow...

nonsense!

A group of us artist people recently started a blog, and if you're into silly things drawn by silly people you should absolutely check it out! -- Blog of Nonsense. All of us sometimes feel burnt out drawing for work, so it's nice to draw some random fun (and there are already quite a few posts, so clearly, we have a lot of silliness to work out of our systems).

But fear not! I shall continue to post quality art here! Like, so:

A proud moment from yesterday

afternoon slump

that's a cintiq, by the way. that's right, i drawz good.

Wildlife Waystation!

On Sunday I had the opportunity to go drawing at the Wildlife Waystation with good chums Alice Herring and Megan Nicole Dong. It was really incredible to get to draw all sorts of animals up close. The Waystation has done a lot for so many animals and is a really wonderful organization, so if you have the chance I definitely recommend visiting! (thanks for the invite, Alice!). Sketches!









(yes. this actually happened.)
