Be Mused Art

Still adjusting to this whole Linux thing. I think I like it, but some of my existing hardware doesn’t. Poor James is having to walk me through scanning every time, cause it doesn’t always recognize the scanner. And considering I want to scan things at 1am, it isn’t making for [...]

Alright, it isn’t turning out anything like what I had in my head. But when I start thinking swirls, the drawings always seem to evolve into something like this. I am going to have to rely on my light table and some tracing paper to get the sketch symmetrical, but this [...]

I am not sure about you, but when I see a piece of art that I like, one of the thoughts that goes through my mind is “Where did the artist get that idea?”. When I look at my own art a few weeks after it is finished, I am not sure where the [...]

Well here we have my latest drawing from my sketchbook. I went ahead and inked it in the sketchbook to make it easier to use my light box to transfer it to watercolor paper. Some cropping will happen, since it is going to be a 5×5″ watercolor painting.

Well this is a bit different isn’t it. I think I must have been inspired by the Dr. Sketchy events that I have been attending. But here is a bit of sex appeal in fairy form for you all. I am trying to decide where to go from here. But it [...]

Well, I finally came up with an idea to paint today while picking up my daughter from school. Alas the sunlight and noise of the world has conspired against me and has made my headache worse. So instead of painting this fun little mercat in his bath, I shall go take [...]

This is all I have gotten done today on this. The border design became very detailed. I am only half done inking it and I still need to draw the scale pattern on the mercat’s tail.
And in case you are wondering where I got all the ideas for the wonderful sealife that [...]

This is about all I got done for Thursday. Hopefully on Friday I can transfer the design to watercolor paper. Although I am thinking that this one needs a fancy art nouveau style border to go with that tail and headdress.

I was lucky enough to get to go to a Dr. Sketchy event last night. Glam Amour was the model.
It has been many years since I was able to work from a live model. And my drawing abilities showed that. But significant improvements were made through the evening and I managed some [...]
