This first bit is a doodle I did while drawing with my kids. We decided to call him Squarby. He's sort of a squarish monster with parsnips for ears and tail. I don't know where it came from. I was just drawing with the Sharpie marker and this is what I came up with. No pencil sketch with this one. It all came straight out of the pen.
This is another straight pen drawing I did, starting with just the curve that made up her tail. I love mermaids, and love to draw them. All those beautiful long flowing lines. This one really isn't finished, but it is what it is.
This one was sketched in pencil first before I inked it with Micron markers. I refered to the chapter on manga eyes in Colleen Doran's "Girl to Grrrl Manga." I love how she does eyes. They're always so expressive. I have to really study the examples in her book to come up with something I like, though. I'm going to need a lot of practice before I can draw manga the way I want.
This is just a doodle I did in Art Rage. I started with random scribbling that sort of formed a head shape with horns, so I roughed in some paint. I didn't spend a lot of time on this one. I'm still trying to figure out how to blend the paint in Art Rage. I found a tutorial that showed how to lay down paint and the blend it with the palette knife, but honestly, I'd like to blend it as I paint with the paint brush tool, rather than just smudge stuff around after I've laid it down.
These are only a few of the drawings I've done lately. I've got some more to post, so we'll see if I can get them up tonight.
