Did some sketches of outfits that I would like to wear but do not dare. I like the way this one turned out. It’s done with coloured pencils in my sketch book. She could be a comics character; killing villains in secret by sending them black boxes with poison gas or spiders or something. The dress is far too nice to be given to a bad character….
I need to improve my robots…
Sketching with colored pencils is better in two ways; I can’t use an eraser; it’s less dirty. I start with a light color and a pencil that’s a little hard and finish with darker softer pencils; Bruynzeel, old and the newer -sakura.
After this, I still need to improve my robots…..
This started out as a sketch in the recycled series but the dress does not look as if it’s made of old rags at all. So I played around with the background making it into a foreground instead. It’s drawn with pencils and promarker for the skin and some colors of the dress.
Had some fun doing these sketches today. I’m planning to draw on T-shirts with textile paint and pens so I wanted to get down some ideas for designs on paper for me and my girls..
I’ll attack these with digital color some other day…
So instead of doing something sensible like updating a comic I have once again fiddled around with a sketch. It is just so rewarding to finish something quickly. So here it is with two backgrounds. 
For the moment I’m very fond of the shape of the small letter a, with serif and a heavy drop to finish the arc 
I’m hoping to finish a page soon. It must be over a year now? The reason for not updating is that I have a lot less time now with a soon to be one year old baby and when I finally have had time to draw I haven’t been in the mood for a whole comic page. It almost began to feel like work.
Vetres and Aisha are still at the trader’s place so there’ s not much background to do. So here’s a part of a pencilled panel just to prove that there is progress….
Another drawing on the “recycled” theme. Great if you like your tail hanging out.
Drawn with pencils and colored with promarkers. The black is PITT Brush Pen.
Something has to be first so why not a not so recent sketch.
I like doing fashion illustrations with a twist. In the “Recycled” case the idea is that the clothes are upcycled second hand or just old fashion worn as is. There has to be a couple of flies circling about…
I’m pleased with the pencildrawing and therefore kept it; promarkers and slight use of colored pencils.
Why does a pair have to match? We seldom do in the real life…
