Is it really almost Christmas? :O I keep trying to tell myself I have more time then I do. And every year, I always try to tell myself I'm going to make at least one handmade gift for everyone, which never happens. :/ But, if you're in the holiday spirit and want to make stuff either as gifts or just as a treat for yourself, be sure to check out these fun sites. They have tons of ideas!

Now, on to sharing some pictures. These are actually reworked images of the pony sketch I shared before that you can view here and here.

Holidays and warm ups

Just a warm up of a silly bunny. :3

I'm thinking I'm going to do my Christmas cards by hand, as I don't have that many and I don't always get to draw traditionally anymore. But I can't seem to help from coming up with Christmas ideas digitally. Here's one that clearly doesn't have much pre thought to it. I think it would be a good item for something like a postcard? Maybe a good layout for a letter to Santa? Possibly a calendar page (which is why it says December)? Haven't decided what else to do with it yet, but it's fun to create items for the season. :)

Yes, another pony. :p

Just a random digital sketchy pony. :)

Sharing

I recently scanned this, but drew it ages ago. ;) Not sure what the celebratory cupcake is for, but at least this little guy is willing to share it with his fluff friend. :D




I also have some updates on my felt work, but that post will have to wait.

More krazy kats...

Just a few more krazy kats. :D This is actually one of my favorite ones. I love the whistling cat and the expression on the other two's faces. LoL! Perhaps I should do one where they get their revenge? Hmmm....

Another new header!

Since fall is coming, I've decided to make another header. ;) Here's the sketch I drew out for it.

And here's the finished project, which I drew in photoshop, over the original sketch. ;)

Not sure I'm completely satisfied with it, but it will be a nice change anyway, so I'm going to try and put it up as the new header for awhile. Hope you guys like it! ;D

It's a bit windy...

It's been a bit windy today and last night, and since there were reports of so many tornados yesterday, I thought I would post something to go along with the weather. This was just a quick sketch, but it seemed more than fitting for today, since the wind blew our stuff every which way on our porch this morning, and even uprooted one of the 20 foot or higher pine trees that surround our house! Thankfully it didn't hurt anything and was so thin and gangly it probably wouldn't have hurt anything even if it had landed on something. :)

Cupcake

Here's a cupcake I drew with my wacom tablet. Doesn't it look scrumptious? ;9

This artist paints alot of cupcakes and desserts and they look so adorable!

It's a snowball fight!

This is the last sketch in my favorite sketch book, and it's one I really love. It's a snowball fight! :) It hasn't snowed yet (at least not enough to stick to the ground) but wherever these girls are, it seems to have snowed enough to make a fortress of snowballs! :D Hopefully we won't have quite that much snow, as it would be difficult and dangerous to drive to work in, but maybe we'll have a little bit of snow soon. :)

How do I see my self....

I don't know why, but I've been doing bunches and bunches of self portraits lately. I guess I'm just trying to figure out which one best describes me. Here's another one I did last night that I really liked. I thought it turned out really well. I wasn't looking to make another self portrait, but it sort of turned out that way. :) This is how I imagine my chic self, I suppose. Very calm and collected and somewhat sarcastic. :)

Sketch update

If you've been following along with my blog, you'll see that this is a colorful sketch I did of the post it one I did a few weeks ago. I haven't done a larger picture of it yet, but I think it's working it's way there. This turned out much better than I expected, although I think it may need some more details or something. I'll be sure to post any final pics I do on this.

A Quick Sketch

Here's a quick sketch I did. Hope you like it! I might do somethingmore with it later, so be sure to look for it, just in case! :)

Monsters! They're everywhere!

Okay, I decided to enter yet another contest. :) This one is hosted at Monster Mash, which you can still enter here if you hurry! (It ends Oct. 31st!) Here's my sketch and my final piece I submitted. Also, did you notice my new header? :)

Bear attack

I originally posted my sketch of this pic, but then I did a larger picture on paper because I thought it was so cute. I changed a few of the details, like the trees in the background, but I think that's about it. Oh, and it's only done in colored pencils, too, just like my sketch.
