The Eyes Have It

I haven't done a picture with a touch of color in awhile so I decided to do his eyes in color! 

Charice

One of my new favorite singers, Charice! She has an absolutely incredible voice! 

I also like to challenge myself with new textures and this one posed a new texture challenge: leather! 

It's far from perfect, but I figure I better stop before I mess it up.

Leap of Faith

I realized how long it had been since I had drawn a horse and decided it was absolutely unacceptable ツ! So, here's a new drawing of one of the most beautiful and awesome animals in the world! 

He knows when you're happy
He knows when you're comfortable
He knows when you're confident
And he always knows when you have carrots.

What I learned from this drawing:

✶ Veins are a blast to draw!

✶ Completing the drawing in sections works better than tackling the whole picture at one time!

It Wasn't Me!

Wow, it's been a long time since I posted something! Sorry it's been so long. Between traveling and staying in new surroundings for awhile I just haven't been able to find the concentration to actually finish a picture. I've got a record breaking number of pictures in progress, but I just haven't been able to finish any. This one could still use some improvement, but I'm pretty happy with the way it is and don't want to mess it up! So here's the closest thing I have to a finished picture!

Final!

Drawing Backwards!

I've been hitting a rut with a bunch of drawings lately. I've actually got several in progress right now, but I haven't been able to finish any of them (that's why I haven't updated in a while). So I decided to take a shot at a very different approach. This technique is kind of like drawing backwards because, rather than the usual black pencil on white paper, I'm drawing with a white pencil on black paper. It forces you to look at the picture in a very different way! I've done several pictures this way before but I hadn't tried it in a long time so I thought it would be fun to try again!
