Practicing portraits with prismacolor pencils. 

PS. I'm thinking of phasing out my blogspot and just using my tumblr and instagram account. We'll see. I'm a little sentimental. 

I can't believe it's finally here

Illustration Friday: Space

Here is my submission for Illustration Friday! The topic of the week is "space". I didn't get a chance to finish it (or submit it to the official website...hmm), but here's what I have so far. Hope you enjoy!

Inkings

Just some inkings I sketched in my sketchbook a couple of weeks ago. Enjoy!

Double post today....for the holidays!

Greetings! Well, I'd just like to say that Christmas time is definitely my favorite time of the year. This year I decided to make my own Christmas card. I don't know why I've never done this before, but I think I'll be doing my own from now on.

 Here's my original sketch, which didn't change much when I went into painting.

For whoever sees this, I hope you have a great Christmas and a most joyous New Year.

Hot air balloon, final!

Finished this about 2 weeks ago, but I forgot to post the finished product!

WIP

Working on a commission for a friend. Here are some rough color sketches. Once we decide on the color, I will go into more detail to refine the picture. Here they are, all rough and stuff

Quick Tree Studies

Here are some quick tree studies I did today. Oh, and I added a silly character to one of them for kicks. Enjoy!

1 Year Anniversary

Here's a little anniversary present I gave to my boyfriend. He absolutely LOVES Star Wars, so I decided to draw us as Han Solo and Princess Leia! Coincidentally, this drawing is resting in front of a Star Wars poster (my boyfriend's) ha!

"Puzzled" continued....

Finally, a finished version of last week's Illustration Friday project.

Happy Christmas!

Blake and I dressed in Christmas gear. I gave this to him a few days ago as an early Christmas gift (and as a way to give his room a little Christmas spirit!) Hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

Love,
