Peek Into My Sketchbook

Doodling away variations of girls. A head here and a head there…brewing in my head! I think it’s going to end up being a cute little print…

Peek Into My Sketchbook

LTieu1

Recently I made myself a new journal, simple longstitch binding and opted for a larger size – A4 full page – which is more challenging for me to “fill up.” I used mixed media paper from Canson, so hopefully that will allow me to play with whatever medium I choose, day to day.   I’ve [...]

Peek Into My Sketchbook

LTieu2

With the new arrival, I’ve certainly neglected my sketchbook a bit. Haven’t found the time to just sit around and doodle. There are times when my mind is buzzing with ideas, but my hands are full and I can’t actually do anything about it. This feeling sort of connects with my Illustration Friday doodle of [...]

Illustration Friday: Wings and Myth

Catching up again on Illustration Friday, so decided to combine this week’s prompt Wings with last week’s Myth. Le tme present my cute little flying piggy… a quick little sketch before bedtime. You know how people say “when pigs fly?!” I say, why not? At least in our imaginations and cute illustrations.

I fell behind with Illustration Friday for a couple of weeks as I’ve been quite occupied with getting work done before the baby arrives. Decided to do some catch up today with quick doodles. Nothing time consuming, but I did try my hand at digital coloring when I scanned them into the computer. For this week the [...]

Illustration Friday: Snow

The prompt for Illustration Friday this week is snow – quite timely as the weather dropped below zero here in Tuscany, Italy. It’s not normal at all, because normally it never snows in our town – that’s what my husband assured me anyway. But the 3 winters I’ve been living here has resulted in 3 cold winters with [...]

Turn Cold to Cozy, Busy Working Away

LTieu_coldtocozy

I’ve been busy finalizing The Creative Entrepreneur Toolkit and very much appreciating feedback from my email subscribers and fellow clubhousers – thank you! In the midst of it all though, I had to doodle up a little drawing for fun, because it’s sooooo cold here in Italy. The temperature dropped dramatically this week and I’ve [...]

Illustration Friday: Stretch

The prompt for Illustration Friday this week is stretch and I immediately thought of how I’ve been stretching my one arm all the time, surely looking pretty weird to everyone around me. It’s because my baby bump is pretty high and often causes discomfort near the rib area, so I keep stretching out, especially when sitting on the [...]

Illustration Friday: Whiskers

The topic for Illustration Friday this week is whiskers, so I did a quick little doodle of a lion head with fancy twinkling whiskers. I’m actually catching up as this week has been super busy, but I’m happy to still be going along with AEDM on my Instagram.
