WHEN YOU'RE AWAKE

Quick sketch. Started drawing a blurry pic of someone online. Then, I stopped caring and drew this instead. 

Playin’ with markers. 

Started a rotation of a few loose small paintings to try some layering combinations to take notes for a larger painting I’d like to get done over the summer. 

Here’s one of a face I just put down in B&W. I’ll have to wait a few days until I could try the first flesh tone glaze. I think I may have to turn this one against the wall when I sleep. She’s starting to freak me out. 

While digging through some sketches, I came across a pair of anorexic twins (that was my first pose draft of the post below). I just colored it in to post it, so…here it is. Finding sketches of mine and finishing them is quite conducive to my lazy, “give up in general” demeanor I’m donning these days. So…let me find some more to entertain y’all.

I’ve been scolded to post something tonight. Well…I don’t have anything. Here’s a sketch I’ve been putting off shading on for about a week….(it’s in pencil). I’ll replace this with the shaded version in a day or two. Or three. 

Painting an owl in oil. Say “owl in oil” three times fast. It’s kinda hard. 

Figure study in pencil. I drew fast, so I did quite a bit of erasing, so it’s a little dirty/smudgy looking. Anyway….I will start to post more sketches while I’m working on lengthier projects soon to be seen. It’s better than nothing and at least it keeps it active in the meantime. Although most people I’ve noticed look at my drawings, be it on a screen or paper for about one second….regardless of the amount of work invested. I’m used to that though. It’s funnier than it is irritating. 

If it’s good enough to hold a sandwich, it’s good enough to draw on. You may recognize this hot mama from an early (and more competently drawn) post.

I’m working out some paintings for an exhibit. This is an early draft for one of the compositions. It’s a young lady (little gal), attempting to crush the windpipe of a fatigued swamp hag. You try finding a wind pipe in a thirty-two inch neck while tussling in swamp water. It ain’t easy. I’m not thrilled with the image thus far. It’ll go through a few alterations by the time it’s oil on canvas.

Pencil on Paper

Follower Question: “Why did you take down the rabbit woman?”  I honestly have no idea what rabbit woman you speak of. And, I attempted to find it….but no recollection remains. I draw all day and most have not been posted, so I’m not saying you’re mistaken, but I couldn’t find a thing. 

Anyway, I gave an hour to create a new rabbit woman just for you anonymous. Sorta sketchy, but that’s really all I’m capable of tonight.

I’m in shock that people are still checking my blog. It appears to be internationally popular. Though, that’s not the kind of fame that puts money in my pocket….so I can’t devote all my time to this. And I’m conjuring up new plans as we speak. 

Just a quickie between “work” related drawing. I call it, “Bubblegum Elephant”. Though that obvious title is already displaying more attention that it deserves.

I’m still trying to dig myself out of yet, another hole. So, yeah….still on a blog break whilst I attempt to focus on “work”. Though, I had to draw another freak face in pencil. I get a sort of withdrawal if I don’t. Anyway, I’m done talking.

Still on hiatus. Though, I figured I’d post this since I didn’t use it for it’s intended purpose, and now it’ll join the pile of unused characters of mine.

Just a little marker play. Anyway…..back to work.
