Paints

So, after having some paints lying around for a few weeks and not knowing what to do with them and sort of being afraid of wasting them I decided to say "to heck with it," and I made a painting. Well two actually, the first one I just used a big brush and messed around. It was hard to paint details with a large brush. Here it is, a monster guy hiding in a cloud bank... he's not doing a very good job of hiding though:

Next, since Nagisa bought me the paints, I thought I'd make her a painting. She likes rabbits and strawberries, so I thought I'd combine the two somehow. Here are two sketches:

Yes, it's a rabbit character(who I had actually come up with before) riding a purple-legged giant strawberry. The strawberry is a bit unruly, and the rabbit is an inexperienced rider. Good heavens! Here's how it turned out:

Wu-Tang.

baked goods! just kidding it's more drawings

A scary hell monster head. He has foul breath.

Drawing bear heads!

Dragon, I borrowed the pose from an eagle

Kung Fu Lemon all beat up and smashed in the ground DBZ style

A big man prancing in old-style women's underwear

The view out my window, I took some liberties with the colors... and proportions.

THAT'S ALL!

Here is a wee bit o sketchy poo I did tonight while sitting on my bed. A-IIIIIIIIII!

Double face of an old woman on the cover of my neighborhood newsletter, my thumb and part of the rest of my hand holding my notebook, and a mysterious woman.

A drawing

So I've been drawing more recently and since Emily and Danny have blogs where they post their stuff I thought I'd make one too. I think Emily actually suggested it, too.
Here's a little drawing I've made recently. A hot dog squirting himself with ketchup. The ketchup packet has exploded all over his face. He is not amused. I'm not sure what he was expecting; after all, he is squirting ketchup on his face out of his own free will. Perhaps he was hoping for a nice zig-zag pattern. That is not what you got, Mr. Hot Dog! Now you look quite foolish!
Anyway I'll start with the sketch I did in my sketchbook:

There's another unrelated drawing I did next to him, but just ignore that. I started to draw legs but my attention span was in its death throes at that point so they sort of disappeared.

An outline I later did on my computer.

The finished product with the outline removed. YAY!
The more I draw the more I realize how helpful models are. And my hands are two great models. I struggled to draw the hands on Mr. Hot Dog for a while, but eventually I gave up and just took a picture of my own hands in an appropriate position, and voila. HANDS.
In the final version I left out the ketchup packet, or at least the outline. The piece is now slightly more mysterious and open to the viewer's interpretation. We can assume that the missing object is a ketchup packet, but we also have the freedom to imagine other ketchup packet-shaped objects in its place. FAR OUT.
