November 10, 2012: Kittens

Quick little sketches of kittens before work. (Approx. 20 min.)

October 27, 2012: Mars

Been feeling pretty unmotivated lately. Tried a quick pencil sketch of Sailor Mars... which lasted almost two hours. (So much for "quick".)

October 13, 2012: Cinderella

A more polished pencil drawing of Cinderella. Approx. 2.5 hours start to finish.

October 3, 2012: Painted Aminalz

My sister specifically requested me to paint "gorgeous adorable baby animals with big shiny eyes", so here's what I'm coming up with in a little over an hour. (Pencil, ink, watercolor.)

October 1, 2012: Blackbeard in the Dead of Night

Started sketching Blackbeard (Ian McShane). Here's about 30 minutes in. May revisit/finish later.

September 19, 2012: Over Shoulder Freebie

Quick watercolor for Gaia Online member "Not a Decoy". (Took a little over an hour start to finish. Colors are a little over-saturated with the scan.)

August 2012: Older Nouveau

I was on the fence about posting this since it's unfinished, but basically, it was version 1.0 of my sister's birthday gift (a watercolor). Again, it may or may not remain unfinished.

September 2012: Glasses-Wearing Shortie

I confess, I've been watching America's Top Model, and my favorite girl, Jessie, left week one. :( (Oops, spoiler.) I felt the need to pay indirect homage with a short-haired glasses-wearing hottie. May or may not clean it up and finish it properly.

August, 2012: Kitties and Poppies

End of August, 2012. Sketches to warm up for a watercolor piece for my sister's birthday!

July and August Sketches

July. Grunnies! Different characters of the creature.


July. Figuring out how to draw a typewriter for a painting, and breaking away from the less-interesting task to enjoy a sketch-candy moment of Esmerelda.

August. Visiting Southern CA, and warming up to drawing by a semi-gestural depiction of a small statue.

Having warmed-up, I was ready for a longer-duration with watercolor. Meet Oden:

August. I thought this was a funny moment and wanted to share it in comic-form:

August 11, 2012: Napkinks

Doodles on napkins I did during my break.

2008: Little sketches.

Some sketches back from 2008.

May Lineplay

First up, playing with the character Lionfall. (http://www.deviantart.com/#/d4y2nvz)


Next, a ridiculous quick brush pen sketch of "anime" version of Loren.

Finally, a late-night sketch of yet another friggin treasure chest. (I'm calling it "Tres Bon", short for treasure and bones. Haha.)

May 8, 2012: Secret Puppy

One day at the coffee shop, the barista asked if I was going to produce a present for him from my backpack. I asked if he wanted a puppy or a lamborghini; he wanted "both puppies." I was out of puppies, needlesstosay, and I secretly planned to draw him one while I waited for a friend. That remained a secret.

May 13, 2012: Sisters

Dream team for Mothers Day! (~30 min.)

May 7, 2012: Roots and Dinonite

Taking a pen to pure paper without an initial pencil sketch always poses as a challenge for me.



Yay cute things! I played with a new (kids') art set that included colored pencils, markers, watercolors and oil pastels.

April and May 2012: Little Studies

Toying with a stuffed animal.

Color studies copied from a magazine (except the bottom fish).

April 22, 2012: Plungie

Mechanical pencil sketch approx. 30 min.

April 22, 2012: Charmaine

Request from a DeviantArt user, stardazzle. (Reference.) It was a quick late-night sketch (approx. 1 hr), pretty uninspired... My main goal was to avoid a blatant anime style.

Napkin Scribble: Bunny

... So I honestly forget exactly what this scribble meant. *Helpless shrug*
... Postin' it anyway!!

April 14, 2012: Notebook Doodles in the Air

Went on a little trip to visit some family. Sadly, I didn't do a lot of drawing, even though I brought watercolors and sketching tools, along with multiple notebooks and a sketchbook. I only doodled on the plane ride back. Eh.


I skimmed a magazine for something to draw, and came across this odd creature on the hood of a truck.

March 31, 2012: Grimes

My friend Shane just exposed me to Canadian music artist Grimes, aka Claire Boucher.
She has such an interesting look to her, and I didn't begin to capture it, but the colors were fun to work with, nonetheless.
