Last night I made another drawing of a baby for practice. I originally wanted it only to be a quick sketch but ended up spending much more time on it than I intended, probably because I almost never draw babies and I’m out of practice. Also, I actually know this baby in person and I […]
I was busy yesterday with a small family get together. I did get to see my favorite brother cats though. Here are some (rough) sketches, unfortunately done from photos after the fact. I could have taken out my sketchbook when I was there, but whenever I get a chance to spend time with my family […]

I did some portrait sketching last night of Ujwala Prabhu and Serena Lewis for Julia Kay’s Portrait Party. In the background, I was listening to the Escape from Illustration Island Podcast. The podcast is geared towards freelance illustrators and I’m not quite used to all the lingo they use, but I have gotten a lot […]
Yesterday I had a bit of a mishap. Do you know the sketchbook I was talking about wanting to finish last time? Well, it got finished a little sooner that I had hoped thanks to a spilled cup of tea. Thankfully, the pages I had already worked on were spared. I was really mad at […]

I’m sorry about the issues I’ve been having with my feedburner feed recently. The first post was my mistake, but I’m not sure why it sent out another email for an old post this morning. I have a lot of things that I want to do before the end of the year, so I’ve been […]
Today is Blog Action Day 2010, which is an online event where bloggers all write on the same topic on one particular day. This year’s theme is Water. I’m not usually the type to discuss “issues” on my blog. It’s not that I don’t have opinions, but I usually just keep things related to my […]

Instead of keeping a wooden egg in my bowl, I now use it as a soap dish at the bathroom sink. The turquoise dish looks very nice with the green bar of olive oil soap I have in there right now. It is kind of rustic. I’m thinking of setting up a still life with […]

With this drawing I was mainly testing out how graphite and watersoluble colored pencils look together. I think I like the combination because it has some bright color but also has the monotone of the graphite that I enjoy. I will try it out in some other drawings to see if I still want to work in it […]

Some time ago I wrote that I was working on a “secret drawing” and that I was scanning it in as I worked. It has taken me longer than I had anticipated because of all the other things I have going on right now. I then lost the will to keep it a secret so […]
This was a fun drawing I made of NCMallory for Julia Kay’s Portrait Party. It was a relaxing portrait that I drew after work one day when I had the house to myself. I highly recommend his photostream as he is very talented and an all-around interesting guy. You can see all the artists’ interpretations of him here. He […]
