A typical drawing process

So, last week it was SUPER nice here....like 70 Fahrenheit and OVER!!!

so of course I had to get outside and work on my tan :) haha just kidding but I did get a little darker while I was out there though which is kind of a bonus right :)

Well anyways the real reason I was out was just because of the nice weather and since we've been having some pretty cold temperatures for the majority of this Spring (including snow :( 

Well yeah you know, when it warms up you can't spend all day indoors! 

So yep I decided I'd do my drawing out there instead, which was fabulous! (oh my goodness did I really just say fabulous!) well it was, so don't judge me :D hehe

anyways here's some pictures I snapped while I was at it,

You might recognize this picture from my header.

Anyways I ended up mostly using the water colors on the right side and left out penning altogether sticking with pencils since I wanted a softer look but you tell me, do you think it would have looked better if I'd penned it? Did you like this drawing, go ahead and shoot me a comment if you did, and if you have any idea's for future drawings go ahead and put that in comments too :D

AU REVOIR

Sarah 

My Sister :)

So I found this awesome drawing  by Ani on the counter Saturday, and I immediately asked her if I could post it on here, she said yes and so here it is :)

She told me to say that the outfits were from a Target magazine we had, so they aren't originals, but hey! The picture is still awesome! 

So what do you guys think :)

#ColorMeSpring

And that's it :)

Frozen Fan Art

Hello, again!  Today, I'm showing you all some Frozen fan art that Sarah and I did.  I mean, fan art based on the movie Frozen, not fan art...that's frozen.  That would be pretty weird.  Who would want to defrost a piece of paper, let alone freeze it?  Er, anyway...here they are!

This one is Sarah's.  I think she really did an awesome job drawing the characters!  She also did a great job drawing the logo. :)

My drawing.  For this one, I did Sven and Olaf. :)

So, those are all the drawings for now.  Hope you guys liked them!

Secret Worlds

In which we visit the secret places of our imagination

....

and meet the people who live there

She was soooo fun to draw!!

The title is pretty self explanatory 

Our First secret world :)

The second world...this one might get a small story it depends on how it pans out :) 

her name is Alley Roswell 

that particular picture was inspired by this one I did either last year or the year before that 

I think it was originally called, "Into the Book"

Let me ask you girls something..what do these two pictures make you think of when you look at them, what do you think each girl is thinking, and which one draws you in more? 

Whoever answers these questions in comments will make an appearance in the story with either their name or a name that they pick out as my way of saying thanks :) 

Please do answer :D 

From the Depths of Noatbuukia...

Hello, all artistic people of The Artistic Writer blog!  Growly again, and I have brought with me many ancient (and quite outdated) treasures from the great Noatbuuk (get it? Noatbuuk? Notebook? I know, bad pun).  Anyhoo, Sarah had asked me to show her some of my colored drawings, and when she saw them, she suggested posting them here.  So, here are the ancient papers...

An albino gryphon, y'know, a mythical creature with an eagle torso and a lion's heinie.  I intended him to be albino from the start, but as you can see, I started changing my mind a little on the leg, then kinda dropped it...

The mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex! A favorite among many dinosaur fans, the T-Rex is indeed kingly.

A simple drawing of a gray wolf.  The only non-grayscale-looking part in this drawing is the eye.

The majestic king of beasts, the lion.  I know for certain that I had a lot of fun drawing the furry mane. :)  However, the body of the lion seems a little off somehow...

Some drawing of an unnamed, orange...cat-creature of a sort.  Using a fine(and by fine I mean REALLY fine)-tip marker to color this was a real monster of a task, but it was worth it.

Another grayscale picture with only the eye that's colored.  This monstrous creature is what I call a wraido.  I've been working on a graphic novel for awhile (or at least the character designs) and this guy is one of the many creatures that appear in the story.  I doubt you'd want to run into one; they're very, VERY aggressive.

And this one is...a raptor with a melting clock on its head?  This actually is a reference to the Salvador Dali painting called "Persistence of Memory".  And yes, there are many melting clocks in it.

And finally, a drawing of a bird of prey called a kestrel.  One of my favorite predatory birds, the kestrel sure is cute for being a carnivore.  I've actually seen one in the flesh in a nearby nature center, and immediately fell in love with the little guy. :)

So, that's all that I have for now.  I hope you all liked the drawings I did!
