Sketch Diary: Body shape study


One of the things I like about this drawing...took the least amount of time. That smart looking haircut of course! But for real, this body shape is tough. I love my curvy ladies, no doubt. Especially went mermaid tails are involved. So I've been practicing my less fem body shapes. I like that gray area between feminine and masculine. There's so much to explore there. And it certainly fits my personality more. Next I'll need to start taking the leap to doing some masculine body types as well. I guess I'll have to fill my reference folders with images of beefy men. Won't that just be the worst...

Sketch Diary: Watching you indifferently


I visited Hawaii over the summer for the first time (totes a blast) and sketched this while waiting for my first of several flights during that trip. I made it to the airport at, what I thought was on time. Evidently, I didn't need to be so early. I ended up with almost 2 hours of waiting time hah. So I lounged and sketched. Better than being rushed I suppose.

This sketch was funny because thought I went in wanting something more androgynous but didn't expect it to actually work. I'm pleased with the result... just don't look too hard at how the eyes don't quiet line up... oops. This duo of ladies were passing by and I felt them stop behind me while I was drawing, which I don't mind. Eventually they moved on but not before tapping me on the shoulder and saying how much they liked the drawing. It really made my day/week. Was a great start to that vacation/adventure. Thank you ladies, where ever you are.

If you see someone being creative, whether it's drawing or making a mean latte or washing a window with gusto or whatever, and you happen to appreciate their efforts, say something! I can almost guarantee we'll always love to hear it. Like 99% of the time. You'll always have that one grump that can't take a compliment. But they're probably the ones that need to hear your love the most!
