  • Just a little Dotty Today.

    Kat Johnston Sketch - Jenny Again! Just a little dotty today... and shorter pig-tails too.

    Another quick one today… and another Jenny! I really should expand into showing her whole body one day, or at least put her in a different pose occasionally… but up until now (and still now) I just love the nice little simplicity of leaving her as she is. Jenny rocks. If you want to see something interesting, try having a click on the ‘Jenny’ category to see how she’s looked before, and how she’s changed here and there… her head is certainly starting to even out in a slightly more square shape than it started out, and I think she’s gotten a little slimmer *laughs*. I think I’ll find it interesting to click on that one after Jenny has featured a few more times… see if she normalizes into a more ‘set’ form.

    This piccie was drawn as I was waiting to have my little one on one interview with my lecturer to get an assignment back (procedure for that class, not a special case for me). The interviews were running an hour late. Could not believe how long it was taking. Had to make use of the time somehow, I suppose!

    I currently have two little sketchbooks in my bag to take around wherever I go. They don’t actually get pulled out while out-and-about all that much, if just running errands or things of that nature. Waiting for people to come out of a lecture theature, getting growingly annoyed at someone who is impulsively tapping the wall and lamenting the fact that you actually half-jogged your way to get to the appointment on time only to be left waiting an hour later, though… they can come in handy.

  • Assignment Folders are Good for Something.

    Kat Johnston - Dandelions sit on a sea of pleasant green. Assignment folders actually are good for something other than holding assignments, huh?

    I picked up my assignment from the uni a few days back. They have to be submitted in document wallets. I seem to have a preference for the green. Anyhow, long story short, I was then waiting for my dinner to be prepared that evening so had a few minutes to myself, with no other drawing material really available (other than the assignment itself… and the cover sheet… and all the rest), so I decided to graffiti the front of my folder instead. This is the oh-so-glamorous result. The food was quick! I call it ‘Dandelions on a Sea of Green’, or alternatively, ‘Assignment Folders are Good for Something’. Both work.

  • Sorry I’m late…

    Kat Johnston - A small sketch in a new sketchbook. Just a tiny little one, today. Cute, huh?

    Sorry my post is late today! Here is a sketch done a few days back as the first sketch in a new little sketchbook. I tend to collect the things – small, large, spiral-bound or otherwise… this one is really only a few inches high and a couple wide, so not a huge amount of space to work with… but perfect pocket size.

    And, because I was in riots of laughter over it last night… I present to you Hallmarks of Felinity.

    Ok… more tomorrow!

  • Jenny is Somewhat Perplexed.

    Kat Johnston - Jenny is somewhat perplexed today... I'm not 100% sure she agrees with the whole 'pink' thing.

    Hmm… Ok, I think Jenny has made it to the regular characters list too. Three times, and she gets a category of her own, methinks! I’m actually not quite sure exactly what she is perplexed about… perhaps it is the fact that she is drawn on pink paper today? Who knows.

    When I draw characters, often or not they are just one-time ‘this is what came into my head’ type drawings… sometimes, there are a few that get repeated. Jenny is actually somewhat of an evolution of another character I draw rather regularly, which hasn’t been featured up here on the website. Perhaps I will throw her up another day. There seems to be a certain point, I think, where my little characters go from ‘once or twice’ to ‘will be drawn fairly often’, and Jenny has tipped from one to the other. I must admit, I wasn’t entirely expecting her to – when I drew the first, I was simply venting frustration at Poe, my silly computer for not being able to automatically do what I envision in my head (sorry Poe… I don’t mean it, really I don’t). I’m quite happily surprised that Jenny has turned into a little more for me. She’s an awesome gal.

    I’m going to toss out another interesting little link today, because I’d like to share with you some of the little gems that I stumble across when navigating the wonderful content people create and put online. Today’s featured link: Robot Comix. Two squares of graph paper, some dots and lines, and the cutest little robot appears alongside a few words of wisdom.

    I’ve popped in a new ‘Interesting Links’ category so that these links are easy to find in the future, too. Don’t you just hate it when you find a great page, lose the link, then have to wade through a trillion posts just to find the right one to get it again? Well… I do. So there *wink*. Let me know what you think!
