First Sketch of The New Year!

I got a new sketchbook for Christmas and it's taken a little getting used to since the paper is a lot smoother than what I'm used to.

Inspired by this picture:

Sick of Screaming Let Us In, The Wires Got the Best of Him

I had a pretty tough week this week, so I got home and drew a little. This picture is based off the song "Wires" by The Neighborhood....and yeah it turned out a little freakier than I had intended. It was sort of interesting to draw just from imagination, since I usually draw from a picture. 

I Was Scared of Pretty Girls and Starting Conversations

Sunday mornings are my favorite time of the whole week. You've forgotten the stress and events of the last week, and you haven't yet remembered the responsibilities of the week to come. You can make yourself a coffee, sit down with a book or a sketchpad while the oblique golden light sifts in through the windows, and you can feel like your life is your own for those few fragile hours. 

So this Sunday I was snuggled up in a romper and crochet sweater, full and happy from walnut pancakes, and I got the urge to draw something...as I do from time to time. I ended up with a girl's face- something I draw far too often.(Is that creepy?) 

Anyways, I tried out some new blending stumps I had gotten. The first picture is just plain and the second is sort of edit-y. I didn't know which would look better, so you decide.

I promise there's a Sleepy Hollow review coming as soon as I get over my procrastination.

Look It's Bambi

Should I even try to explain this? Idk I was stuck inside all day and didn't want to be productive...

Captain Jack Sparrow

In which I procrastinate doing my art project by doing art.

Happy Belated Birthday, Hayao Miyazaki!

These past couple days I've been bedridden with a sore throat and sequestered from any kind of interesting activity around the house, so I picked up a piece of printer paper and a ballpoint pen and drew Haku from Spirited Away. Only later did I realize that it was the amazing creator of that film's birthday a few days back, so I decided to post this as birthday tribute. I could go on for pages waxing romantic about the astounding affect Hayao's films have had on me since childhood, and I probably will in the future, but seeing as it's late at night I'll just leave you with this.

Girl In a Shawl

Exactly five seconds after I try to be productive....

Asymmetrical

Fashion Sketch

Ruffles

Evil Eye

This is actually really creepy to have in my sketchbook....

The Girl In the Purple Dress

Emma Stone Is Eating Her Fingers

Mister Jazzy

I guess it's obvious by now that I learned how to scan my sketchbook. Hehe.

Wringing Out My Hair

I drew this a few weeks back- one of my recent excursions into the world of sketching.
