here is a practice sketch of a fellow belly dancer. The photo is amazing! She is wearing orange and with the light shining on her, the colors are fantastic! I hope to do a paint of her. We’ll see. I need a canvas. And I have a gift certificate to the art store.

I was all set to go see Jennie. I had saved up my money so I could buy all her books and I had a gift for her. I wandered around Boston trying to find the entrance to Con. I got all dressed up. I went straight to Artist’s Alley and walked by every booth. I finally asked the woman at Red String, and she said Jennie couldn’t get a booth so she went to Sakura Con instead. Boy did I miss the memo… I was so sad I almost cried. So I left to have dinner with my best friend.

So, I drew this a week ago…
My excuse for not posting? Here is my schedule: get up at 630. make breakfast, go running, stretch, leave the house at 8. eat breakfast as I drive to work. Work 9-530 at my awesome garden store job. Get home at 630. Clean Nick’s lunch dishes and breakfast dishes. Leave the house at 645 to meet friends for dinner and gaming. get home at 11 make lunch for tomorrow, and go to bed. That is a monday. Tomorrow I have 2 dance classes after work instead of gaming. I should have some time wednesday night to do another drawing though. maybe. All I want to do is read my book. I’m still reading To Green Angel Tower by Tad Williams

Hey! sorry about not posting. I started 2 new jobs and I added a 3rd dance class to my schedule. I’ll try to keep up with a SKETCH a day, but sometimes I just wanna work on something until its almost done and looks nice. Not like this comic. And it still took me 5 hours.
The cutting of paper for art class is a true story. The paper cut and subsequent gallery showing are not. Also, my house isn’t that clean. (see the previous post) but I hope it will be by the end of the summer!

I can’t sit still. so this comic took me a week to do. Plus I’m trying something new. Using illustrator for this stuff is a pain in the butt! I don’t know how Jeph does one of these every day!
also, I looked up one morning and saw this!
Also also, check out what Knick did for my birthday!

Figure drawing from Tuesday. We had an excellent model. She had to be at lease in her 70′s and she held rock solid and dynamic poses. She also has a lovely pear shape.
In class I tried to do a step by step drawing so you could see how a figure drawing evolves, but it didn’t come out as nice as this one. After class I went shopping and Sterns and got a tote bag overflowing with fresh produce for $27! Yay!
Also, check out this snack plate that I made today!
Turns out carrots dipped in guacamole is pretty good. Yes, that apple is stuffed with peanut butter. And the cheese is only the best Kerrygold Dubliner.
