Random musings in my sketchbook these days. I haven’t been able to spend much time playing around with all my baby duties in full swing. Just a few minutes – literally - here and there. Lots of collaging and collecting of bits and pieces. Sometimes it’s a creatively frustrating experience to not have the time. [...]
Lots of random drawings in my sketchbook these days. Although I’ve been feeling a bit in limbo and creatively stuck when it comes to actually finishing any project, I’m realizing it’s okay to just chill at times. No concrete”to-do” to accomplish at this point… just waiting around for baby to arrive
This week has been really random… from simple drawings to exploration of forms within scribbles to attempts in color. My mind is definitely wandering. Still sketching a lot of birdies as well, but not sure how to continue onward to make them finished original pieces. It’s definitely one of those psychological blocks, as I’m preventing [...]
My default medium is to simply draw. No fuss, no muss, no color. It’s something I’m comfortable with, my default girls and whimsical doodles. I did some Illustration Friday practice for the theme of wheel… and that’s pretty representative of what usually shows up in my sketchbooks. However, I’ve always loved loose, colorful, messy painting [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
The prompt for Illustration Friday this week is explore and I took a few minutes from a busy work schedule to doodle up some whimsical characters I’ve been imagining up. I am starting to explore the world of whimsy a bit more and perhaps drawing more than just the cute girls…
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 [...]
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.
