Sketch: A little something in progress.

So I’m doing up a portrait… but it isn’t actually going to be shaded, as this image implies. I was just playing around with my wacom and felt the urge to fill in some rough shading!

It’s going to be turned into a vector, if I have my way. Even though it is not yet finished, I thought I’d better pop something up onto the blog for now, since I’ve left it for so long without an update. I’ve gone way too long without putting a sketch up, don’t you think?

I’ll put up the finished product when I’m done!

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: 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: She is Adored.

I had no idea what to call my sketch today, so it is now known as ‘She is Adored’. I’m not entirely sure why, but it seemed right nonetheless.

My button badge press arrived yesterday, and I am stoked! I have already made up a few (which were quickly snapped up by my sisters), and the machine worked perfectly. It is a good, sturdily constructed unit with replaceable dies, so later on down the track I can simply purchase the additional die sets to be able to make a wider range of sizes. Tis convenient, don’t you think?

I have a feeling I’m going to be digging through any images that might work well in a round format some time very soon.

This morning, however, I am doing a little more product browsing. I’m looking to get a colour inkjet that produces superior quality prints with maximum colour-fastness and longevity. In addition to the button press, I have some other fun items I’ve ordered which will require printed materials. As such, I’d like anything I make to really stand up really well to the test of time.

Phew… wish me luck.

Sketch: I know something you don’t know.

This is my sketch for today. Since I am going to be spending most of the day cleaning, I thought that I had best get it out of the way nice and early! I’m not quite sure what this lovely lass is trying to say, but from her expression I am assuming it is something along the lines of, “I know something you don’t know.” It is as if she has a wonderfully decadent, juicy secret she is keeping just for the pleasure of calling it her own.

So anyhow, my project of today is to get my studio clean, in addition to the rest of the house.It wasn’t as if the studio was in a particularly huge mess before, by the way. I just like to do a big sort every now and again to get things neat, tidy and findable.

Supplies upon supplies have already been sorted and stored, tucked into individual boxes for different types of things. Sewing supplies in one, yarn and knitting in another… a drawer here for paints, and another for brushes, palette knives, and other assorted things with which to apply paint. So really, the major parts are done! Now it is just all those last finicky touches to put the finishing polish on the room, and I can finally relax.
