Sketches, horses, and piglet

Just some random doodles or wip pieces.

This was an art trade with Tumbling-Star on Deviant art. :)

And this is a new piece for Society 6. Happy Friday!

Being Thankful

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the US. And while this isn't exactly a thanksgiving related piece, I wanted to post it and share some things I am thankful for. Which is you all. Those who have followed my work, supported it, liked it, helped me improve it. I am grateful and thankful for all of it and all of you. <3 Thank you.

And if you're wondering why this piece, a picture of a bear, would represent being thankful in any way, you should check out Disney/Pixar's latest movie, Brave. It is such a moving, beautiful movie. It reminded me there is so much to be thankful for and that we shouldn't take those we love for granted, no matter how much we disagree or fight with one another. Life is much too short for that.

So, I hope those celebrating the holiday will have a safe, happy day. And those who are not will have a most wonderful weekend. <3

(Note: For anyone wondering, this piece was created in Paint Tool SAI, using a scanned image for the background.)

A new camera means new pictures!

Okay, I just got my new camera in last week, and I've been snapping away! I love taking pictures, so I've been experimenting with the applications and stuff included on it. I think I liked my old camera's layout better, but this one does have more features. :) And an awesome zoom! So, here are a few pics I've snapped over the past week.

Hope you like them! :D

Oh, and just in case you're wondering, it's a Cannon Powershot A560. My last one was a Cannon A510.

If you're looking for something to take a picture of, remember that trees are always good. Especially during the fall when they change color. :)

My Sketch book

I love looking at other peoples' sketch books because they always look as if the ideas just flow from their heads onto the paper. Mine hardly ever looks that good when I do sketches. Normally the rough draft I do becomes the final piece and there really isn't much sketching done in between. However, I got a new sketch book the other day and have been fiddling around on the first page for the past couple of nights, so I thought I would share my own page. I wrote several words on it as I tried out different styles of my handwriting, so don't pay any attention to some of the words. Some are labels and others are just doodles of the words of the songs I was listening to at the time. I really like my pictures on here though. Especially the elf and the crocodile hunter. :) The witch is an early idea for a poem I'm working on. This sketch actually gave me a new idea for the poem, so maybe sketching is more helpful to me than I think it is. :)
