Marigold in the Leaves

Little India...so far

I've been having a block lately. It's been one of many that have been plaguing me this year. So I started with a bit of pink, and this is where it has ended up (so far). Message to self: think pink! 

The Little Donkey without a Tail

Animals (動物) and Dolls 娃娃

I wanted to make some board books with chinese animals and numbers, but I haven't gotten around to getting a lot of it done yet (eeeep). Here are some of the things I've been working on this month :)

Love Bug

Today I have a sweet ride. Check out my little pink Love Bug! So much fun to draw. I seem to have returned to vectoring almost exclusively, while my poor unloved Cintiq sits gathering dust in the corner. Soon, my love. Soon.

Sketch Book Saturday

It's been a busy time!

We had our annual musical production this week at work, and it was all hands on deck. I was in charge mostly of costume design for the principal cast, which was a lot of fun but time-consuming (and stressful). So unfortunately this week was so busy and I found myself so tired from all of the running around that I didn't have much time to draw. I feel my portfolio glaring at me from under the pile of books and coloured paper on my couch for being so unproductive.

Just so I don't feel too terrible, here are some old sketches I did in the summer just before my holidays. I coloured up one way back in January, but I'm not too crazy about it (it was my first attempt at using the tablet). My friend Ashley liked the first one so much I decided to gift her the original (since I insist on handmade presents for everything and am then officially the worst in the world at finishing them. Sorry Ash). Since I'm going to frame the originals and send them away to new homes,  here are the (slightly fuzzy) scans. Have a happy Saturday!
