Mixed Media Drawing

I have a love hate relationship

with this drawing. 

I'm happy with the face, 

the basic design and the balance

of the drawing as a whole. 

The headdress is so flat

though. It bugs me. 

Even if I tried shading it, it 

wouldn't help. That part of 

the drawing is off. 

I call it Mardi Gras, because that's

what it reminds me of. 

Not that I've ever been, but it's what I'd

imagine seeing someone in a Mardi Gras

parade looking like. 

Well, I guess it's back to the "drawing" table for me.

Have a wonderful day.

Thanks for stopping by.

Tangled Portrait

Sometimes I start

drawing and can't stop. 

Here's a prime example. 

This piece was fun as well as 

therapeutic to create. 

Repetitious drawing of shapes and designs

put me in the zone. . . . 

That's when hours pass like minutes. 

I was limited on my color

palette because I was limited on my

markers and pitt pens.

Looking forward to starting on 

a new project today. 

Make it a great day!

Thanks for visiting.

Wedding Card

Yesterdays project was to make

a wedding card for a friend of ours

who recently got married. 

It's fun making my own cards. They're

usually drawings and doodles. 

Sometimes I'll make mixed media cards 

which can be pretty elaborate. 

I carefully consider the recipient before deciding

how much work to put into each one. 

I hate the thought of spending 3 hours

making a card and have it wind up in the trash

the next day. In that case, I'd rather buy a card 

from the dollar store. 

Hopefully it'll bring a smile to their faces. 

Thanks for visiting!

Blue Hair ~ Tangled Portrait

I love mixing portraiture with

tangled patterns. 

This type of drawing is very therapeutic for me. 

Here I'm trying out some new pens I picked up at Michaels. 

I'm not sure why I tend to gravitate

toward unnatural colors, but it's okay with me. 

After all, this is my own little world. 

Todays plan is to work on painting 

a dog house my husband finished over the weekend. 

I'll post pictures of that when I finish. 

Happy Monday!

Thanks for stopping by.
