A house, some sketches and other doodles

 The title really says it all.  Some practice in my latest style of a cute little house, some sketches of random things to try to get all this rustiness out, and some random doodles for more practice. 

I've had a hard time with this style, trying to recreate the look I want, but the more I play with it, the easier it has seemed to get.

 

Activity Sheets / layouts

I took a little time this weekend to try to get back into my creative groove and ended up creating a couple of 11 x 17 activity layout pages.  Some of the items I had already created and some were new.  I really enjoyed putting them together (although they're not quite complete).  It was fun trying to think of how to put the pages together and to find something fun to put on them, although I feel like I was being too repetitive on some things.  Still, I really liked how they turned out.  I wouldn't mind making an entire book of pages like this.  :)

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?
