Girls, Girls, Girls

I'll be honest, it's been a really rough time for me as of late. Hasn't stopped my creativity though, I've been working on some black and white paintings for Dan's cousin, Derrick. We talked a bit about Maleficent, since I went to see it and thought it was AMAZING, and he has yet to see it-but loves Angelina Jolie. So I decided to draw him a portrait of her. I know the eyes are extremely large but I decided to keep them that way-mostly because it makes me laugh. My dad, who is my all time favorite critic, always comments on the "anime eyes" since I'm pretty well known for them. haha. Still, I had a lot of fun with this and it really was a good break from life. I'm not sure what else is so come for me drawing, or otherwise but I hope for only good things.

Double Feature

It is rare for me to post more than one drawing in a span of a day, and even more odd is drawing two completed pieces in a span of two weeks or less...and yet here we are. I never thought I'd get back to this time. The time where my creative mind wants nothing more than to paint and draw and create. It's such a great feeling and it isn't going away any time soon. I have plenty of projects coming up, some not as blog worthy as others but you can bet you'll be seeing a bit more of me in these coming days.
That being said, here is my friend Jess and her boyfriend. Jess saw my Captain Hook piece and asked for a drawing of her own. Her anniversary is coming up so how could I say no?

Captain Hook

If you are as obsessed with Once Upon A Time as I am, then you absolutely LOVE Captain Hook. So naturally I had to draw this piece. It was done in charcoal and I really drew it for my friend Meredith for her birthday...belated albeit. I drew him, framed him and placed him in the center of her desk at work to discover the following morning. It was brilliant and times like these I really think about how much I'd love to receive such a gift myself. Still, he sure is fun to look at in any dimension.
