Gumball!

If you haven't seen The Amazing World of Gumball, get off the internet right now and go watch it...unless you need the internet to watch it. in which case it's ok.

I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH.

red panda love

i looove red pandas. i want to have a red panda farm where they can frolic and be adorable.

i see lots of photos of red pandas sticking their tongues out. surely they would like popsicles, right? i really like how these came out. i've been wanting to animate red pandas for a long time now. maybe i can do something with this little guy..

My Little Pony Madness

I got bit by the pony bug.

Not being in a market with those neat plastic toys, I fell into the same thing that always happens when I don't like the toys for something...I make my own.

I did Applejack first because, honestly, she's my least favorite of the main cast and I wanted to work the kinks out with her. Glad I did because I learned a lot from working on her. Her face isn't perfect, but that was part of the learning process.

Quite pleased with how Pinkie came out, especially her hair. I learned to keep the tail detachable with the help of some wire which  makes painting sooo much easier.

They're both around 2.5" tall, made with super sculpey and painting with acrylic craft paint.

This is probably not the end of this...

Aerialist Life Drawing!

Last night Dr. Sketchy's had a life drawing session with a bunch of aerialists and hoops hanging from the ceiling. Very exciting! Also another chance to use my new pen and pencils! Double exciting!

1 minute warmups

10 minute (unless they couldn't hold it that long) poses

yay fanart!

there's always something to draw with fanart..

i got some new drawing stuff i wanted to break in and, when in doubt, there's always sailor moon.

I got several different colors of Pentel color eno 0.7 lead which I love. I really like drawing with colored lead, but those Staedler drafting pencil leads are so thick, it's nearly impossible to get any detail in. The Pentel hi-polymer soft eraser also does a kickass job of erasing those colored pencil lines which can often be stubborn. I also got a 0.4 Pilot Hi-Tec-C black pen which I adore. It feels so awesome to draw with and I love the loose line quality. Happiness is new art supplies!
