Card designs, etc.

A simple design with some cake variations and practice with a new style of lettering.  Possible a birthday card design? 

 

 Just a silly design I was playing around with for a birthday card idea.

 

A monster birthday card idea?

 Some practice with a new style of lettering I've been trying out.  This one sort of became more of a logo type of thing then just plain text practice. 

I really really loved this piece I created a little while back.
So I recycled and redid some bits of it and created this, which I like even better!  LoL!  I really like creating in this style, if you can't tell.  It's absolutely delish.  ;D

Cloudy with a chance of polaroids...

Or something like that.  

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Life has been getting in the way of my drawing time.
I created this for a bit of a personal project which may eventually get pushed into something more if I ever get the time to do so. But I thought I'd share it with you guys in the mean time. 

And this....I don't really know what this is? Just sort of threw him together for fun to get back into drawing stuff. He was very fun to make though. I may play around with him some more or recycle some bits of this for other things. We'll see.  ;) Happy weird thing Thursday!  Thanks for stopping by!

Food and cats

Decided to play around with creating some foodie items. I really liked how they came out.

I thought I'd play around a little more with the food and cat I created. I can't figure out which background color I like the best. ;)

Circles and some traditional pieces

TRADITIONAL WORK:

This was originally going to be a gift for someone, but then I either didn't finish it in time or didn't think they'd like it so I stopped at this point. Not sure what else would have been added. Not sure it's worth completing. :/ I'm not really sure what Ride on was meaning here. I think I was basing it off the fact that the person it was for liked horses? But I've no idea why I added the chicken. I must have been thinking to do some farm/cowgirl theme, but I just can't remember. O.o

Drawn in my sketchbook with any microns or black inkpens/markers I had on hand. Colors edited a bit on my computer.

 Another piece from my sketchbook drawn with microns/inkpens/markers. I really liked this one though. It's so much fun trying to fill up the entire page with meaningless doodles and pictures. ;D

 This is an unfinished piece I started awhile ago. I sort of lost focus when I was working on it. It may or may not get finished one day. :/

Drawn in my sketchbook with microns and any other black pens I could get ahold of. The colors were edited a bit from the scan, but nothing else was really changed.

DIGITAL WORK:

 Random Stuff

 Just some more circular doodles.

 his was fun. I really really really love these two as characters. I may need to revisit them. I think they'd make for a cute little pair to draw.

 This is just so random. I really got into doodling these circle characters. I kept using the same predrawn stuff on them more or less and changed it up a bit each time, so I ended up making dozens with basically very little effort. ;D But I loved how they turned out. I don't know where the idea came from for this. I guess I figured it would hurt having a flag stabbed into me. ;D (I was tired when I drew this, if that helps you to understand where the idea may have come from.) I'm really digging the black/white/gray look. I love the simplicity of basic line art. And I've always loved the Olivia children's books that adds just a bit of color to the mostly black/white/gray photos, so I decided to throw that element in there as well at some point.

 Just more random doodle weirdness.

Just to add a bit of color in with all this black and white stuff. I tend to get carried away with figuring out which color looks best on my creatures. What color do you like best?

Sketches and more people

 Some quick sketches and color/line/whatever else practice while recuperating from a nasty cold.

The pet here was originally a cat. But it looks more like a dog to me. :/ But I liked the way the girl came out.

Just some random sketches and things for practice.

This is a bit of a dark piece. Just wanted to play with some techniques and was too lazy to do much more then copy what I'd already doodled and flip it. ;D

I don't know what this girl is pointing at or why, but her name in my head is Pointer girl. :/ Just wanted to try out some background stuffs with my sketches. I really liked the color scheme on this even if the idea doesn't make a lick of sense. ;D

Misfits

I've had the thought of these sorts of creatures floating in my head for awhile. I call them Misfits. They're basically the mixed up parts of different animals.

The yellow thing is what I currently call "caterpurrrrler" and the bear looking creature is "teddly-ellie-owlie-cat" Though I think I'll need to shorten it into something else. XD

Hopefully will get to come up with some more friends for them soon and get some info down for each of their personalities. :)

Art Dump

This is a mixture of old and somewhat recent stuff. Random misc. items both digital and pen and paper altered works. Hopefully you can see all the details. :) Sorry if it's a little large. :S

Sock Monkeys...

So I've had these little sock monkey arts I did for awhile but haven't had time to scan them or anything. Finally did that and tweaked it just a bit in photoshop and thought I would share the results of one here. I'd love to do greeting cards or something with them, but I'd probably be the only one who'd like them. LoL!

Digital craziness.

Some new pieces from my tablet. :) I really like trying out the different brushes and textures. Definately easier to do them digitally than spending real money on all those mediums. :)

A skiing snowman.

Um...a princess?

And a mean ol' cat in a tree trying to trick that poor birdie. It looks like the bird is on to the trick, so I think he'll be fine. ;)
