Drawing and Painting

I have been busy. Lots of late nights sketching, inking and painting. Every moment seems to be spent creating. I take my daughter to swim classes and I draw, I take her to the pool, and I ink, sitting in a restaurant with my watercolors while waiting for dinner to [...]

A New Pirate Mercat Sketch

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 [...]

Kitties! And Dragons too.

I just realized that I haven’t posted the promised completed paintings that I showed you the line drawings of a few days back. Well here they are in full color for your viewing pleasure.
Also I have a new sketch that I have been wanting to share. I had to wait until [...]

Mommy Fairy Cat – WIP

This took all day since I spent a lot of time caring for little kitten of my own. It really is like having a baby in the house again. Maybe I can start painting this once J gets home, or maybe I will just go to bed early.

New Fairy Cat bookmark Design

Well, this is my next project. Took all day just to get to this point and it is only 3×9 inches. I am hoping to get it painted so I can make some bookmarks from it before Friday.
Why Friday? Why this weekend is my first outdoor art festival in a [...]

Where Ideas Come From

My Lady’s Fairy Cat – Next Painting

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.

The beginnings of a Toile Pattern

This is the start of a toile inspired drawing. I am having some trouble coming up with what I will put inside the wreath of lotus. Hopefully I will have something in the next couple of days. I am thinking something a bit crazy for Toile would be fun. Maybe a [...]

My next project – Steampunk Mercat

Okay this is the rough sketch of the mercat with the crashed steampunk style submarine. I really enjoyed designing the sub. Next time I will need to design the full thing, but it will just be fun.
As you can see, when it got inked I made a few minor changes, which usually happens. [...]

Pirate MerCat Bookmark Design WIP

I know I haven’t posted in awhile. I had been working on an angel pet portrait that was commissioned. Due to it being a gift for someone, I didn’t think it would be nice to post my WIP of it. But I will be sure and post the final painting after [...]
