Sketch: Just a quick sketch for today… I’m working on something cute.

I’ve been working on something incredibly cute for the past day, so I’m going to put up this for now, and save the extra cuteness for later!

Here… let me give you a hint. It involves a legendary mythical creature, cuteness, scissors and something I’ve already shown at least once on the site.

Buuuut for today… just a little red scribble-portrait. As I’ve mentioned before, I enjoy playing with different pens and things – a scribble portrait in a traditional ball-point pen is always going to have a different feel from something done in a bright red ink pen. I find it incredible just how much the medium can affect the outcome.

That’s all for today – there’s cute stuff on the horizon!

Sketch: It’s an Alpaca!

Urgh! I’ve been trying to upload this picture for over a week, but my uploader was not working properly. Luckily, I’ve gotten it to work right again!

My in-laws have alpacas. They’re sweet, they’re adorable, and they look so cute covered in fluffy fluffy wool. I’m even getting some of the fleece from the recent shearing to try my hand at felt-making. Won’t that be fun?

I think alpacas are an under-appreciated animal, all in all. Ok, so it might just look like a small llama, but doesn’t that make it even more cute? After all, a toy dachshund is even cuter than a regular dachshund, a miniature pony has a greater ‘awww!’ value than a draft-horse, and for some reason, restaurants certainly have a way of making us pay greater amounts for tinier, over-presented servings of the same food.

Of all the camelids, I like the alpaca best.

Sketch: Would you like McSurgery with that?

Ok, I’ll admit it… I shelved this post for a few days because I was just feeling too ranty when I was first going to post it.

Long story short, I recently had a bit of surgery (I made it!) and then had a follow-up appointment where I was offered… more surgery. Frivolous surgery, even. Surgery with questionable actual benefit, a long recovery time and that was of absolutely no necessity (at least at this point). Needless to say, I decided to reply with a nice, firm ‘No!’

So yeah! Today’s picture is of a chop-happy surgeon… a chop-happy surgeon with a stethoscope.

Sketch: I have a new scanner!

Note to self: Don’t spill water all over the scanner. The resultant scans can turn out questionable at best. Luckily for me, my darling husband was able to replace said scanner and I can now scan again. Yay scanner!

So, with fresh, delightful scanner, completely free of any liquid or residue, I bring you today’s quickie sketch. Ok, so she might be a little rushed, but I like her that way, lop-sided and all.

I’d announce some awesome news with today’s post too, but… well… I think I want a more refined picture to go with it. Therefore, I think I’ll hold off on that little tidbit for a little while longer. Don’t worry though: the wait is worth it. It is awesome news.

Sketch: If Pigs Had Wings.

Whenever you’ve taken a break from blogging, it really does feel as if you should apologize for being gone so long. I would, but I’ve been so sick and busy of late, that it was kinda unavoidable. I have had colds, flus, tonsillitis and lord only knows how many instances of ailments over the past few months. Not to mention a few little computer troubles… How annoying!

It is time to get back into the swing of things, don’t you think?

So here is today’s sketch. It’s a pig! It has wings! It is cute as can be, and was sketched along with a few other pigs on a folded over piece of paper.

His name is Fauntleroy Montgomery the Third, and he loves peppers. He is also the only pig he knows that happens to have little wings sprouting from his back!
