Guilty Little Pleasure

It might be a bit childish, but I've always enjoyed coloring in Coloring Books. My favorite are the Precious Moments Books. I've cornered my mom, my best friends (Hi Gloria!), even my brother (sorry, Danny...), into coloring in them with me. No matter how old I get, I'll probably continue this guilty little pleasure!

Used crayons on this one.

A little sketch of Little Red Riding Hood (sketched in Photoshop).

29 Faces: Day 6

Had a really busy day, so I wasn't able to get started until late tonight. 

Definitely something I'll come back and continue working on.

No Eraser

The goal of perfection, although a desirable ambition, can sometimes hinder productivity. If I don't think I'm going to have the time/ability to do something right, then I end up not doing it. For this reason I began a sketchbook to help me just jump into drawing/sketching: commit to a line, just let the mistakes happen, depend more on what I see rather than guessing by sketching a line over and over until it falls in the right place.

Trying to loosen up first...

Kinda hate it...

29 Faces

I just came across a blog challenge to draw/paint/design a face each day in February. I thought it'd be good practice, so, even though I'm starting a little late, here goes.

Yul Brynner (Photoshop painting)

For Groundhog Day (pen, paper)

I made this face playing around on my dad's iPad (Brushes) in December (since I didn't have a face for the first day)

Honduras Mission Book

I wanted to throw together a picture book for the Honduras Mission trip....
the process turned out to be more frustrating than I expected. Photoshop Elements kept crashing and corrupting my files. I had to re-create it several times. I ended up  having to save a different version after each page created. 

Thankfully it was finally completed!
