Graffiti Challenge - #53

Another drawing done for one of my students. This time I pulled Sakiah's name from the jar. She loved her picture! This time I used colored pencils for the background and markers for the letters. I am making progress towards my goal of 200 graffiti drawings. I can feel myself getting better with each drawing!

Netflix Envelope - #45

My first attempt at artwork on a Netflix envelope. This makes number 45 for my graffiti challenge. I used markers and colored pencils on this.

Every Day In May #6 (Faces)

I did some experimenting on this one. First I took a chunk of cardboard and glued torn peices of sheet music to it. Then I put a white wash over it and drew the caricature of my son Collin on using my Pitt Brush Pen. Then I used chalks and colored pencils for color. I haven't decided if I like it or not. It didn't take the color very well.

Journal Page

I have been down with a cold, the flu, etc. so I have not posted in a couple of weeks. And I was doing so good with posting each week! This is a page from my book I am journaling in. I drew it out a couple of weeks ago, but just now got around to adding color to it and calling it finished. I am really enjoying this book, I hope you are enjoying it too.

Murder She Wrote

In keeping with my A2Z challenge with a caricature theme, I did Angela Lansbury for my female letter A. Done with Pitt brush pen and colored pencil. I spent a little more time on this one than I wanted too. I need to do them quicker for now on. Anyway, I exaggerated the eyes more than I normally would have. This is something I have been trying to do for some time now. I still need to push it more though.

A2Z Challenge "B"

B is for Barbra. Loralou over at the Artist Trading Card Forum (http://www.atcards.com/) asked me to do an ATC for her with a caricature of Barbra Streisand on it. Since I am due for the letter B, and I just happened to be working on this card at the same time, I am using it for B. I really feel like I am cheating here, but what can you do? It looks nothing like her, so I guess B could be for bad drawing as well.

Alaskan Bog

This one was inspired by an image I saw in National Geographics. I didn't get the browns quite as dark as I would have liked to, but I like how it turned out.
