Artsy
Almost every night for the last couple weeks I’ve been working on the new illustrations for my book. This time around (almost exactly a year later) I’m doing it completely differently. Last year, I sat down in my studio, with pencils and paint, and sketched and painted immediately. I didn’t really plan out what I…

Mountains in the clouds…
So this morning on the flight home I happened to glance out the airplane window and see a mountain top peeking through the clouds. I grabbed my ipad a few minutes later and started drawing it….then I accidentally deleted it…so I had to start all over. Sometime tonight (if I don’t fall asleep) or tomorrow…

iPhone art (#14)
Decided to paint on/with my iphone today after lunch, and tomorrow we’ll be painting pottery. I’m trying to decide on a cup or a plate and if I should make a movie reference or just play with it. But that’s besides the point – today I tried something different with the brushes app instead of…

Art on the West Coast #11
We took a walk up Pilot Butte and when I got back I sketched out an idea for a painting…tomorrow.

Today I
Sketched out one of my christmas-present-projects onto a canvass. I’m really excited about it.

I won’t actually paint anything…

This is new to me, but everyone tells me that my style is great for illustrating kid’s books. Right now I’m thinking that I’ll be using pens and scanning them into the computer and then going over…

Bye-Bye Sketchpad
Sad news (or happy news?) I recently discovered that I used up all the sheets in my sketchpad! I rarely complete books…notebooks, journals, etc, so this is actually an accomplishment for me. I used *actual drawing paper* from the time I got the sketchbook until, well, yesterday when I ran out of paper. So, I…

Professor Puffin
I’ve been wondering what a puffin would look like in a school vest…it looked silly until I added the eye piece, now it looks refined.

Depth Tricks
Was drawing earlier and trying to play with depth. Depth isn’t an illusion I’m particularly good at creating or conveying, but I try. At first I drew the whole picture with one pen and made shapes further off smaller ish. Then I grabbed my brush tip pen, and went over all the things in the…
