Me in my New improved 'Studio'

A Fluffy Character!

Updates from my Sketching HIBERNATION:

Which is doing me a lot of Good.  

More to come! 

What do you think? 

Spider Sketching for my Studies:

 So while trying to draw scary: I made up this image of a spider balancing or, trying to balance, on a ball.

Staring spider: Getting the eyes right.

Assignment requires me to draw something scary- I for one am the cute and cuddly type, Haha. Definitely feel the challenge of doing something like this. 

Came up with a scary clown spider, i was like i'm so going to draw some Cute spider clowns soon! This has to be just black n white, which i want to do in Ink. 

I best get back to THINKING, DRAFTING, SKETCHING,  

How to add scary to a picture, any advice on that? 

Progress to come! x

Sketching!!

1# Just been sketching alot lately. I am at the moment working on some personal work of my own, but the process leading up to that is taking longer than i thought, but all's good:) Excited to get started. 

2# Been experimenting a lot too, its Awesomely Messy Lol. Ideas are going crazy, trying new things are always fun, even though it takes a while & some things don't turn out the way you plan - it's just a process of getting deeper in discovery!!:D

3# My room needs a little bit of a clean up - my sisters dog rummaged my bin again! Haha:)

Experimenting: Sketches

Watercolour experiment

I have many art books and have read them but after a trip to the library and snatching up a sketching book, i began reading it and i must say it was the first that i couldn't put down. I was like, i need to buy this book:) Dont think i can find it her in Cape Town, i hope that i will be able to.

It was so interesting and so helpful plus there are 38 or so projects for you to do.

This is just a watercolour experiment, my bible (yes, its pink) was lying on my shelf and i thought that i should just give it a try and do my best:)

Sketch of my Budgie

This is Valiant I ♥

I beleive naming things are important. So i gave him a name that He would like out to be :)

Valiant means Courageous, Fearless. . 

He's really Loving. . And you'll be seeing more of him on here!

a fresh start all because of a Budgie

Yup, I've recently got a new addition to my room a Baby Budgie. . He is SO Beautiful and has brought on alot of Inspiration. I had to do research on him . .I did speak to the shop owner but i wanted to know more. They are Super intelligent and you can Train them which was a huge YIPPEE! for me. He has gotten used to his new home and i went to get him his Cage and some Toys today! He so active and does the funniest things, Hope that i can catch a quick sketch of it.

IF: Swept

This is for Illustration Friday this week. Sorry that i only managed to get a sketch in. It lead to a Great idea, i can tell you that:) I've just had so much things happening, well, ideas and studies. This took me a while, i'm happy with the it and excited that the view on this picture is different to the rest. Just not entirely sure on his expression, he looks abit angry and thats Not what i was going for:) Would like to hear your view on his expression.

I really want to upgrade my portfolio:) This is just the Beginning
