Lauren Konopacki's Faves

This one is made up of leftover sketches from the Inktober sessions last year. I liked some of the characters, so I thought it was a shame not to give them their own scene. I used a Sakura fine brush pen which was great fun to draw with and adds a new depth to the line work. This follows on from an earlier drawing. The guy with the parachute has now landed in this crazy manic restaurant.

Black and white line drawing of two little badgers having an explore, celebrating my personal love for wildlife.

Watercolor ducked turned into a sticker!

Here is my submission to the 10th anniversary Plushform show at Rotofugi Gallery. I was invited by Shawn @shawnimals to participate in this fun show. He is the creator of the Plushform DIY plush figure being customized by 40 artists at Rotofugi, a designer toy store gallery in Chicago. The original Plushform show was in 2008. I was waiting for their official announcement before posting my final so I could link people to the site for more info. I was told they are working on it and will announce soon. This will be for sale at the show.

Drawn on my iPad

Start of a series of drawings exploring pattern. The more Garish the better :)

Today’s adventure took us to the KC City Market to sketch. We rode the streetcar to have lunch and draw. These are my sketches for the day.

A few sketches from the streets.

Sketchbook drawings and collage I made of a recent model session.

Part of the drawing a day challenge. A challenge I set myself......it's not easy!!

I've been inspired by my mother's smoking, one of my best friends' obsession over the rose ash color and the magic spirit of October.
