Watercolor and ink on unused fax paper roll

A few years ago, I noticed a new habit of doodling faerie folks who seemed to exude off of the page. They look very doodle-y but they have ‘presence’, at the same time. I don’t know if that comes across to anyone else, but it does for me so I find them interesting. They each have part of a story that they want me to tell ... Here are five of many.

So, for the new Fantastic Beasts movie, I came up with an idea to draw Newt, and so I did

I’m fascinated in how something may make you feel. For instance, I’m deeply moved by images of outer space from the Hubble space telescope, but I do not try to recreate those photographs in my work. What does not exist in those photos, is how they may make us feel. This is why you won’t see any “realism” in my art. When we send astronauts to space, they can discuss factually what is happening, but what truly moves human beings is when astronauts describe how they felt while they were there. So, I choose to express how I feel, as opposed to illustrate what I see.

A movement study of legs using a male model. 20 minute initial sketch, five minutes for each following, and a final 15 minute sketch. Time: 1hr Medium: Procreate on Ipad

And now to swing wildly in the other direction. This is a cute little profile of my friends original character, a conjuror named Estin.

A little messy, but still, turned out...sort of okay. An echorche (cut away drawing) of the legs for my figure drawing class. We had one hour with a model to. Time: 1 Hr. Medium: Charcoal and graphite on paper

As it says on the tin.

Pen and ink

Trees at night done in ink, watercolor and Tombow markers.

To do list. I usually hate them but this one was kind of fun.

I like the notion of Poison Ivy from Batman being a sort of vengeful Mother Earth. I sometimes wish Mother Earth would give us the smackdown. We deserve it.

Just a doodle on a Sunday afternoon.

It was both fun and challenging to compose this doodle around the letters of Google. I hope that I get to create more such artworks.i used watercolour on cartridge paper detailing with micro tip pen.

a different kind of Christmas pattern

Even when everything sucks. Even when you're tired and uninspired. You'll surprise yourself, I promise.

Well, I'm joining the Tumblr exodus, which is unfortunate because that's where I post all my sketches! Oh well. Hello DoodleAddicts! This was half of a recent assignment for a figure drawing 2 class, to draw our model in low key lighting. :) Time: 30 mins Medium: Charcoal on Paper

Feel free to desert up any of your themes with these vibrant fun cacti!

I've begun cutting apart my old sketchbooks and glueing them back together. The results of which are sometimes more interesting than the old drawings themselves. This saint is my favorite of my most recent bunch. She's the prettiest Christmas tree of all.
