Portrait updates

Hey everyone! I'm still taking requests for grey-scale portraits. Feel free to contact me via email (it's in my profile linked in the sidebar) with plenty of head-shot photographs for your desired subject and I'll give you a quote.

Below are some portraits that I've done over the summer.

Winter Drawing Challenge Week 2

Conclusion of my attempted of the winter drawing challenge thing from tumblr; basically I got through half of the challenges before spring arrived, haha! They were all done in my moleskine or on standard printer copy paper.

day 08 - snow angels

day 09 - fireplaces/candles

day 10 - snowed in

day 11 - quilts
Just one is enough!

day 12 - mistletoe (or plain smoochies)

day 13 - snowmen
Yes, I only drew one and it's Calvin and Hobbes style

Gilbert Siblings

Sibling portrait for a friend's mother's day gift!

In which Tara sketches the faces of friends

have a gander

And then I sketched my own face (I need to do something about the hair):

a little more variety

In no particular order: girl doodles, beach sketch, trainer portrait, a baby, hair, bathing suits and an odd little self-portrait

flowers and food

Some recent sketches of things I don't normally draw. 

Click images for full view.

Columbines are one of my favourite flowers... 

This was also posted on my food tumblr.

here's some pen and pencil doodles and things from the last few weeks

Some notebook doodles also taken with my phone.
I really need to get a new battery for my camera (and use the scanner for my 2D art, haha)

doodle dump

The first four I photographed with my new-ish iPhone and the last one was scanned.

SKETCHBOOK CHALLENGE

I challenged myself to not draw any females the entire weekend. And being at a loss for inspiration, I turned to tumblr. (I've got a dinky food blog there) Thank goodness for tags. I was able to browse through a fat lot of images on my phone without the headache of dealing with deviantART.

Some quick sketches I did last week for a friend's comic thing. Trying to draw snobby rich WASPs at a prep school and failing at it...

Right about when I decide no more girl drawings during the weekend

Flowers: hibiscus, stylised rose, rose, English rose,  chrysanthemum, and periwinkle. Started to work on some stone work. Clearly found an excellent Peaches&Cream pop recipe.

Men! Bollywood stars and naked back that's supposed to have a tattoo. And sexy headlights of hot cars. And a one-year old me in the corner.

Spent a large amount of time on this one. More brickwork from my parent's house. Sketches of a two-year-old me with my usual crazy hair. It looks like my baby sister is smirking at the Honda HSC (of which I crammed the front of when it got closer to my neck. Bad, I know). Some kpop video stills. Henna, More male references from tumblr. Like that guy with ridiculous hair.

And that's all for now. I'm exhausted from all this. But it was a good exercise that I intend on doing again!

some full body sketches to work on anatomy

Still drawin'

So it's been over a month. And I've hardly painted, drawn, or doodled lately.
BUT I attended a speed drawing workshop at AnimeNEXT and got some practice drawing guys in action-y poses. Those are already lost in the mess I call under-my-desk. Aaaaaaaand I'm colouring this thing by the most rad LJ in openCanvas:

Going for a South Indian look-Tamils, to be specific-since he's got dark skin and so-very-straight hair. But he's such a hipster with them glasses and fruity tie, yanno?

You can check out LJ's other wonderful linearts and complete them yourself (HE WANTS YOU TO). 

HIS TUMBLR

HIS deviantART.

 I hate how I can never get anything productive done at home aside from making something edible. And maybe cleaning my space (it's one of my few strengths, keeping things neat).

I can draw or read practically anywhere. Pretty sad.

Easter doodles

Doodled a bit after lunch on Sunday. My...second cousins, I think? asked me if I could draw "real" people so I drew a bishop.

Just something things I've been scrawling to destress.

some fanart of Captain Atom...

I had a copy of Bazaar lying around...

this last one was from today
