There is nothing like a new idea to keep a gal up till nearly 4:30am. Going to sleep now. I really need to get this drawing onto watercolor paper and painted. I actually completed 3 drawings since I woke up. I will have to post the other one later – I think it is funny, but at 4:20am most things are funny.

Frozen Dragon

This was drawn for this week’s illustration friday them “frozen”. I think I must have an over active imagination, because I am taking that glare rather personally. It almost seems like he is mad at me for putting him into that situation. Kind of like those old Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck cartoons where they argue with the illustrator because they don’t like how they were drawn. But then if I didn’t have such an overactive imagination, I probably wouldn’t be in this business. So I will deal with the accusing glare of this little dragon.
BTW did you notice that he is using an old sock to keep the tip of his tail warm. I really don’t think dragons like the cold.

Christmas Dragon

This is what I have been working on today. This is a drawing about 5 inches tall. I sketched and inked it in my sketchbook. I am going to increase the size about 20% and redraw and ink it on bristol board, just because I really like ink on bristol board. Not sure yet if I am going to use watercolor or am going to do shading in ink yet.

Each Day Is Something New

Fairy Cat with blue and purple wings

Every day I am creating art. Either drawing, painting or playing with stuff digitally. Yes the digital is all new. I even got a trial of Photoshop to play with. But anyway, back to the subject at hand. I figured that people might actually be interested in my daily creations. If nothing else it gives me something to post and talk about.

Here we have a button design I worked on today. I call it Pretty Wings. The fairy cat is based on the pen and ink drawing I did “Fairy Cat with Rose Window“. I redrew the image then scanned it in and played with it in Photoshop. In a week or so, I will send the design out to be made into 1″ buttons. I am very excited about this new product, and am hoping to have 10 different button designs based on my artwork.

Also, I would like to say something wonderful is happening on Tuesday. I am very excited and I can barely keep it to myself. Come back Tuesday and see what it is going to be. Eeeeee!

Tomorrow I will post again with my day’s doodlings. Maybe I can keep it up. I am always creating, but don’t always take the time to scan things to show off.
