just some drawings and such

I'm really enjoying working within a period setting lately. The clothing is just so much fun.

playing with realism

I was in the mood to do some good ole fashioned portrait drawing (something i haven't done in a while) so I had my husband sit for a quick session. He was more than obliged. Was a fun little exercise.

and was excited to see this in it...

OK, back to women...but don't fret...I'll do more men in the future.

I actually drew a man today...can you believe it? After all the girly stuff I've been doing I thought it was time to draw a man. And I guess I rather like how it turned out...might have to be more of a regular thing.

Help Ellery pick a Halloween costume

So I felt it was time I do another digital paper (I've been a paper doll fanatic ever since I was a girl). Meet Ellery who needs your help in choosing what to wear for Hallween. She's not entirely programmed so I'll give you the heads up as to when she's ready but I couldn't help but give you a preview now. Stay tuned.

Free People entry

Here is my entry for the Free People illustration contest. Wish me luck! I could use some fashionable goodies for my soon-to-be post-pregnant body.

drawing for Free People fashion illustration contest

I love the clothing line Free People, so when I heard that they were having a fashion illustration contest (find info here on their blog) in exchange for some Free People goodies, I was so there. Here is the initial drawing I did using Free People clothing (an outfit I would love to have). I'm going to flesh it out a bit with some color, perhaps watercolor, but not too much as I kind of like the light drawing look. What are you thoughts?
