Hanson Scott poetry reading

We went to Hanson Scott gallery in downtown Seattle for a poetry reading by my mom, who is the featured artist for May, and Jim. I drew them while they read.

Figure drawing

More figure drawing from the first quarter. This is the last set on the 11x17 or so sized paper. After this I go up to 18x24 or so.

Figure drawing 3

More figure drawing. On the one with the foot, the teacher really liked my solution. It is a more balanced drawing this way, too.

Figure drawing 2

More figure drawing. 20 minute poses.

Figure drawing

So I took figure drawing last quarter through Continuing Education at North Seattle Community College. It was awesome. These are from the first day. I am taking it again this quarter so I will catch up and starting posting more recent ones. Yeah nudes, which swipe really didn't want to type on my nexus.
These are about 20 minute poses.

Animal girls

Been on a theme kick lately. These will likely turn into water colors.
This is posted from my phone. Not great pictures, but it does mean I'm more likely to post.

Hourly Comic Day 2013

All my hourly comics from yesterday in a single image. Ooh la la.

Nadine Reading

Nadine reading by ~lunavalse on deviantART
I will try to post more regularly. But I am in charge of my own scans sometimes, now. Can't do the watercolor ones on my own because the scans ruin them. But I did get those acrylic inks that I love, and those seem to scan ok.

Posting

Phew! I gotta get posting. Now that Abe has a job, I think I need to start scanning my own art in. :| So lazy. He will still have to photograph the color ones for me though.

Amy Farrah Fowler from last weeks show. Her head and body are out of proportion, but let's say I did that on purpose. Almost none of the gray scanned in either. Bah.

I got an awesome new fountain pen - Noodlers. It uses a plunger to refill from a bottle of ink straight into the nib. Crazy. I love it. I got blue-black ink, but Abe scanned this in black and white.

This is an image Torrid posted on Facebook, I think. Someone's "nice" look from a naughty and nice contest. The gray didn't scan well.

I also posted a Nadine and Cob drawing on Ink Tub, so don't forget to check there.

Nadine practice

Ah, good version of some of my COB drawings.

 There you can see the blue! That the scanner erased.

She looks a bit stoned there, I think.Ooh, you can see the blue pencil lines...

Superhero Woman

So here is a sketvh dump, a bit. Now that Abe has a job, it is harder to get him to do my bidding, so I guess I will have to scan in my own art. Though if I want good ones of my color art, he will still need to do it.

 Here is a first attempt at drawing Superhero Woman and Sidekick Dog, a pair I made up in high school or junior high. I liked the idea of super heroes, but the only ladies ones I knew, I didn't like. Wonder Woman was too scantily clad and I only knew the movie version of Batgirl. So I made up my own. It had a much more literal style. Less violence and darkness. Superhero girl was me, der, and Sidekick Dog was my dog, Patience. Their nemesis was Madame Nutmeg (or something) after my mom's cat. Not that I had anything against poor Nutmeg, but we needed a villain. I even made us outfits with blankets for capes and cut up old socks for masks. Her name wasn't Patience for nuthin'. She also had little shorts and I wore my converse. We would run around our property all dressed up. Not much because it is kind of cumbersome to run around the woods in a blanket cape and Patience did have a limit.

Here's some standard fare Sartorialist drawing. I keep trying for more cartoony style. It is difficult.

 And some practice for the story I am working on with the working title COB. This is a scan of copic markers, so all the light blue is gone, but there was some sky in the window.This is definitely at least one of Nadine's outfits for the book.

And here is Nadine all dressed up for fencing. I think I will change the skort thing up a bit. And the copic marker blue is so much darker than that. But I think I will add some gold embroidery along the blue edges of the skirt instead of black and give her gold buttons instead of black. As you can see, I also haven't decided on an eye color yet. Her hair will also be more yellow than red. Boy copics scan weird.

Corgis and stuff

Drawing dump.

So many corgis.

 Fawn unicorn thing I drew at Drink and Draw

Top two characters there are from Poirot, my newest mystery show.

 From Sartorialist.

 Another from Sartorialist.

Some Nadine practice. Not quite the right dress.

Watercolor of Nadine. Same dress. I love the hair.

Not feeling well.

Some drawings from the week. I wrote a post about commas for work that included a Batmower.

 This is actually from my head. I saw a girl sort of dressed like this the other day. Not the hat.

And I think I have a bit of food poisoning after eating out today for lunch. But it was kind of ... slow... so I played video games on my tablet while I waited. :S

Steampunk and stuff

Some drawings from lately. First up, from The Sartorialist.

 Some practice for my first big story. There's more tree, but whatever. I was testing the paper because it bleeds really bad with a nib but seems fine with a brush.

 More practice for a different story. I'm not really going to say much on that...

 Practicing steam punk ladies from images on Deviant art. The top row is based on images from DestinysGarden and geoectomy. Second row is from crimson-shirou and voluptas-designs.

 This one is by Leder-Joe.

And finally one from MADmoiselleMeli.
