Foxes and Frames!

I must update you all on the things I have been working on the last couple weeks.  I have finished the Disney frame for the craft fair coming up!

The whole thing took me around twenty-three hours.  Completely worth it!

The other week my friend and I carved pumpkins, I did scar.  I took this picture today, after it had molded quite a bit (I know, sick!).  When I can get the better picture I will post it. 

Earlier today I did a study on fox's because I love them and want to draw them better!

I love fox's sooo much and will one day own one! But for now I need to settle for drawing them. 

Here is a couple more sketches that I will use for Christmas cards.  I'm not too sure if I want to use the puppy or not yet, but I will for sure use the mermaid and the fox (my two favorite things). 

Poor little fox! 

Is it just me or do the newly released versions of the Disney movies lack a certain something? They are too polished.  I like the grainy and sketchy quality of the old ones!

P.s. I'm watching the Fox and the Hound at the moment!

Disney Cel Frame

One of the projects for the craft fair, that I am doing, is a Disney Frame.  The outside is covered with Disney Characters, and inside there is room for a fairly large picture.  

I have completed the drawing portion so far, and need to paint it.  To paint it, I just turn over the acetate paper (clear sheet), and paint on the back. 

(the pictures are not great, but heres a preview)

Early Start on Christmas cards

I have completed more Christmas cards here they are -

As promised here are the updates of sketches in my sketchbook.

This last page is sketching ideas for more christmas cards.  The starred one of Stitch will be the next one on my list. 

Like I said before, I'm making these Christmas cards for the Craft Fair at my church.  This will be the first time I have sold any of my work.  Usually its for gifts, or practice. Quite exciting!

At the moment I am watching Bambi.  

Bambi and Little Mermaid are for sure my favourite Disney movies! Bambi is drawn gorgeously! I cant get over it!

Updates.

Hello all!

so sorry for my lack of updates.  I shall just fill you in on the goings-on in my life at the moment.  I will have more drawings for you from my sketchbook, hopefully tomorrow. 

First of all, my mermaid tail came in! It is so much fun! Here is some pictures..

My friend and I are having this craft table thing at my church at the beginning of December, so there is much to prepare for.  Christmas cards are to be made, picture frames painted, cupcakes decorated, and lots more. I have finished one card so far, though it may go through some more changes before being printed.  

Thanksgiving was fun.  Had some friends and relatives over. 

Aaand last on the updates, I am currently reading Brighid's Quest, which is the sequel to Elphame's Choice.  I think I'm liking the second the most. 

What are you reading right now?

Mermaids!

So I have all these drawings, that I havent posted yet, soo sorry! 

These Characters are all from books.  The top one of Lenia (basically Ariel), and Margarethe are from the book Mermaid: A twist on the classic tale.  The other one is Helen from another book that turned out to be mediocre. 

I died my hair red again! Let me say, it is good to be back! I missed having red hair. Anyway, the top pic is of me in the food court watching randoms, my hair is not that red, but I was wearing a top like that.

Some more random sketches. 

Quick sketches of Ariel. 

So in preparation for my Halloween costume, and a Disney fundraiser I have ordered my MERMAID TAIL online today! I am hoping it will arrive in time. It is a swimmable, fully functional tail.  I got it in teal (called Arielle) of course and am very excited!

Mall sketching.

Updates from sketching at the mall the other day.

In the top sketch, the man in the middle is the father of the girl.

The girl looking at her hand is just a quick sketch of the princess from the book I'm reading.  That is where the prince kissed her.

Mermaid: A twist on the classic tale.

I am reading a book at the moment called Mermaid: a twist on the classic tale. 

So far I love it! It is quite a bit darker than say, the Disney version, but it is very enchanting all the same.  I won't ruin it for you, but at the part I am at right now, I don't know if I want this character to go through with something.  It's a big decision.

I drew this, based on the original story by Hans Christian Anderson.  I do not know if the mermaid dies in this one, lets hope not! I love her the most out of the two characters. 

So basically this is a mermaid reading the story of The Little Mermaid.  Her sister does not take the story seriously, as you can see.

Out of these two characters, I am most like the brunette.  When I start reading something, I usually attach myself to the characters and am devastated when something bad happens to them.  When a book is really good my emotions tend to revolve around the part I am at in the story.  It's not always healthy, haha!

The blonde doesn't really get to caught up with books and that sort.  She lives in the moment and loves to be entertained.  A very outgoing sort of person.


Who are you most like?

Anywho, I am off to the mall to find inspiration for characters, wish me luck!
