Introducing- Peter's Lost Boys

Been super busy this past week so I stretched this out longer then I wanted BUT here they ARE! The rough drawing for Peter Pan's squad of Lost Boys.

Might still tweak a few things, then it's on to color! To draw these boys stagnant would be a crime, so they'll definitely be battling something in their next appearance

On The Town

I've been a little obsessed with musicals lately... so here is a little flamboyance for you!

The past couple weeks has been a cluster of different medias for me.  Went out for an afternoon and messed around very primitively with water color and ink again

Also been messing around with charcoal again... back to BASICS!

 Working on the rest of J.M. Barrie's Lost Boys, so expect them soon!

Sourgrass

It was so sunny today I couldn't resist drawing something girlie . . .

The Seven Pericos

Just a lil thank you card I did of my six traveling compadres and me ... More painterly version to follow

Dia a la playa a Puerta Vallarta!

Saying my Spanish is hideous is an understatement . . . but amazingly enough it got me by quite good while I was in Mexico!  With my traveling past only including Jamaica and the Cayman Islands for a day on a cruise, along with the acquiring of my first passport 3 months ago, going to Mexico was a BIG deal to me.

Thankfully my blissfully calming days on the beach weren't a total loss . . . with all the sites and people to see I couldn't help but draw up some characters

Now just to get back in the swing of painting . . .

Might have to give me a few days, I'm still on vacation mode, but I have to say I'm honestly excited to flesh out this vacation's characters.

For Rumpelstiltskin Is My Name!!!

Hide your fine jewelry and first born ...

I had forgotten how creepy Rumpelstiltskin can be!  I had a VHS when I was little that had this fairytale on it and he was a gangly little man, but in this version he wanted to cook the Queen's baby . . . apparently baby was his sandwich meat of choice.  So I present to you the enigmatic carnivorous Rumpelstiltskin. 

Mother Goose Fever

So I've had a brain storming week . . . and it was storming fairy tales and nursery rhymes.  So my first addition to my nursery rhyme extravaganza is Goldilocks and the Three Bears . . . I think I'm going to enjoy this.

Up next . . . the infamous, enigmatic, manipulative Rumpelstiltskin 

Introducing Mr. Jay Gatsby

So Jay Gatsby is fleshed out .  . . now to just draw up more poses and expressions.

The Great Gatsby . . . Makes an appearance

I may have been up til 2 a.m. but here comes Gatsby!
Here is the character line up . . . minus Mr. Gatsby.  He's still in the works.

Nick Carraway-

Daisy Buchanan--

Tom Buchanan---

Jordan Baker----

Photoshop Epiphany

Guess you suddenly had a break through with Photoshop!  Months and months of work have finally paid off.  I don't know what snapped but I had a look at Priscilla Wong's blog ( http://etelois.blogspot.com/ ) and got completely inspired to crack the watercolor code.  So thank you Priscilla for having a blog!

So I decided to render Levi and Lola.  Since then I've started drawing up the characters from The Great Gatsby.  High School wasn't good for many things, but one thing it was good for was introducing me to so many amazing books . . . Very tempted to design all the characters from my favorite "High School" novels.  I think Ender's Game will be next . . .
