Lounging in the grass

About to take a nap. I have a feeling the limb aren't positioned perfectly. And that the nose doesn't look quite right. But all in all rather satisfied. I'm trying to get over my fear of eyes. I feel like if you don't get the eyes right then you have no hope of creating a believable looking creature.

Another weekly challenge

One of my less successful sketches. It was hard to convey both the shadow and then dirt of the statue. Maybe I should have waited to add the dirt with watercolor pencils or something. Then I could also have added some splotchy green oss!

EDM #227

Overall I'm fairly satisfied with my tote bag. Its the ubiquitous LL Bean bag. I started this with my dip pen but I got so frustrated with it not working (is it because I have the super cheap version but it will just decide to not write!) that I switched to my Microns.

EDM #226

I like the bottom part of my screw but not the top. Something's off...it was done from a couple of different pictures and I apparent didn't synthesize them terribly well. Done in pen and ink with a little watercolor pencil thrown in.

EDM: 209 Easy AND pretty....

A back lit daisy over a loose wash; does that count as a shadow? One of the first watercolors that actually came out as I envisioned it.

EDM #15 Quick tree

Cute little tree. I did this with a dip pen, which I love. Too bad I'm always worried I'm going to dribble over my nice clean paper.

EDM# 185 Meoooowwww...

I'm actually a dog person but since this was the weekly drawing challenge on WetCanvas (plus an EDM!), I figure I'd try it. My favorite part is the ears. If I have time later this week, perhaps I'll try a reference photo with eyes and not just fur...
