Number 29

Another attempt at the rapper M.I.A. but I can't seem to capture her. I just really find her interesting as an artist and a person and really really dig her fashion sense (not that I would wear any of her outfits...although they sure are bright and fun to draw).

Number 28

This dragon fly (believe it or not) was done at 1 am in the morning and took me less than an hour to do (coloring and all). The wings were the most work, because of how delicate and transparent they are. I was basically going through this "Encyclopedia of Animals" book I own and was really struck by how beautiful and delicate these creatures are.

Number 27

Owl number 3...they are just really fun to draw, the feathers are really detailed and colorful and you can draw them so many ways. This one (again) was initially sketched out (free hand of course) in pencil and then inked in. I colored it in layering on Faber Castell pencils.

Number 26

This piece was done with pencil (as almost all my drawings are) I basically sketched it out first and looked at a couple different images of peacocks and peacock feathers. then I inked it in using an artist's pen (Pilot ultra fine points are my favorites) and then colored in the image with colored pencils. I use a combination of Faber Castell pencils (my ultimate favs...I have had a tin set for the better part of a decade, they were expensive but they have lasted), and crayola colored pencils.

Those Dancing Days

I have a music blog it's called TheMusicGeek and it's address is:

http://itsthemusicgeek.blogspot.com/

Anyways Those Dancing Days are a band I've followed for awhile, some of my earliest blog entries were about their music. I really liked drawing them because they have really unique styles (and you gotta love Linnea Jonsson's hair!!! It is quite awesome and as a girl with curly hair myself I give her props for going all out!).

Number 24

I draw boys like this as a distraction from my own love life which has never been too great, but still. I make up names, their life stories blah blah blah because at least on paper I can draw the type of guy I want since I haven't met any in real life!

Number 23

It was supposed to be a coi fish although I am not happy with the coloring I did. Note to Self: never combine green and orange again!!
