Link painting practice

Over the last couple months I've been involved with a fundraiser for blood cancers for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society (lls.org). It left me with very little time to do my art and I let that slide for the time. Not that it's over in getting back into the game!

I started off with some watercolor on some nice watercolor paper swatches I have. Link is ready to do heroic things!

Portrait sketchin' #1

I'm practicing my portrait sketching. I've always loved the style of David Malan's portrait sketches and tried to work that in here. I have learned that i need practice! Started with my cute niece. She's a twin so maybe I'll try her sister next and see if you can tell the difference. That makes sense, right?

Sunday sketching

I have a Sunday sketch book. I only use it on Sunday when I go to church. It comes along with my scriptures and gets used almost as much. I forgot about this guy until I skimmed through it tonight, so in the name of keeping my blog alive here is my grumpy friend.

Zombie Valentine

"You have my heart! Here!" Zombies can be such romantic, literal saps. I sketched this a year ago and finally got around to coloring him.

Zombie guy!

Started watching The Walking Dead. I can see how people get sucked into this show. Lots of dead people. So I drew this. I've started trying to stick to a more cartoony style, it is much fun.

It's a rooster! And my schizophrenic mind...

Someone talked to me about roosters the other day so when I couldn't think of anything to draw, that came to mind and here we are. If you'll forgive a little existential blogging (NO! This is your art blog!) It's interesting how what started as a conversation and thought has now become a physical something on paper. I'm sure some a classroom somewhere has gone much deeper than that. (I guess that's kind of art related, it may stay).  I need to play with markers more often.
