Day 28 – The End
It’s the end. I am a bit saddened it’s over, but I will continue trying to push myself to create something at least once a week. Unfortunately, they will not be seen here, but can keep myself honest by doing

Day 27 – Body Art & Invitation
So, I did some body painting on my sister’s kids, but lack the photos for proof. I finished my nephew’s invitations here. I would have drawn something new, but I’m gosh darned tired. I can’t believe tomorrow is the last

Day 25 – Drawing with the Kids
The legs are weird. Sometimes my mind gets jumbled and I find I have a hard time drawing things I didn’t really have much difficulty with after practice drawing from the mind, suddenly come out strange, or hard to draw.

Day 12 – Turtle Heart
Since I drew and “inked” yesterday’s post, I ran out of time to finish this one, as I had to get things ready for the impending storm and need to go to bed now. It will be finished tomorrow, because

Day 11 – Puppy Love
My sincerest apologies for the delay. I was so utterly exhausted last night, I got home showered and crashed. This was something I wanted to create for Day 11. I asked my niece what she wanted for a V Day

Forgot about it today. This is all I could manage. My apologies.
Day 9 – Timed Valentine
Presented myself a new challenge to make things interesting. Set the timer for 15 minutes and finish a drawing. I did so and even had time to color it. This is for my niece, forever bunny obsessed. Unfortunately, I drew

Day 5 – Sketch Finished
Finally finished, but “inked” with a Sharpie ‘Fine Point’, which is crap, as you can see. Oh well.

Day 28 – Fun with Coloring
I’m on a call, so I couldn’t take a pic with the flash. Here is, sadly, my last contribution for the month. I had fun. I definitely pushed myself more this year, than last, but drew more last year. I

Day 27 – More Awesome Fun with Illustrator – Hello Ash!
So I told friend of mine on Facebook that I should do an Ash Hello Kitty. Took a little while. The weapons were the longest, as I had to customize them for Hello Kitty. I love how it turned out.

Day 26 – Quick & Dirty Illustrator
Considering, for some reason, I am too tired to create anything worth any real heart, I decided to do something quick and dirty. Took me approximately 20 min. Should have been quicker, but what are you going to do.

Trying to finish this for a friend. Not much left to go. My mind, heart & soul are really not into drawing right now. Feeling drained & dealing with some stuff.

I’m a bit behind. Decided to make this one, which took longer than I expected. Funny how that is always the case. I’ll post, hopefully, a finished drawing this evening. Since I’m taking the week off lifting, I should have

Day 21 – Hello Cheshire Cat
I finally finished the Chesire Cat from Tim Burton’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’… I was initially going to use “Disney’s”, but as we know, the original Disney version is animated. :) Anyways, this one was a bit more time-consuming than I

I realize I’m a day behind. I’m hoping to catch up tonight, actually. That said, I decided to have some fun with Photoshop & facebook by making my own parody “faux”-book inspired by one of my favorite movies. Without further
