girl with a lily in her hair

This is a church doodle (something I drew at church). It's on the back of one of my kids' notebooks. Hopefully it doesn't get ruined sitting there...

swirly watercolor

I'm not good at watercolor--it confuses me and drives me crazy. So, last February I decided to just do a design with my new watercolor set and not try to do anything specific and I absolutely loved the way it turned out.

Bearry Patches

This started out as a pencil drawing in a sketchbook. I wanted to have the patches look like fabric, but didn't want to spend my life drawing knit cables onto the bear--so I experimented with something new. I put actual fabric swatches into each section. I love how it turned out. It would be cute on a baby's wall, I think

Steampunk fish

 

I'm completely in love with this one. I started drawing it on lined paper and liked it so much that I started over in a nice sketchbook. I'm still in the process of coloring it with photoshop, so hopefully I'll finish it soon.

I love steampunk stuff and have been enlightening all of my friends on the subject. Fun stuff!

Cookie ABC's

I had an idea in church and actually turned it into something--yay, me. I'm sure you can see what it spells. I was trying to not be too obvious about it, what do you think?
I drew it in pencil, then pen on colored paper, then put the color in with photoshop.
I think this would be fun to put up on the wall during Christmas time.

baby and his lovey

I'll put this one up even though the scan isn't so great. This was a picture from a magazine that I fell in love with and then drew myself. I don't know the copyright stuff with that kind of drawing, but it was in Parent's magazine a long time ago. Still, adorable baby, right?

Merry and Brite

 I was in a Christmas mood last year and ended up drawing something I liked. I couldn't stop with this one and drew all day--my poor family.  Then, just for fun, I colored it in. Nothing fancy--just a plain color in each area. Still fun, though.

mosaic turtle

I drew this during conference in October '11. I know, new stuff, right? Wow. Anyhow, I loved it and decided to color it in colored pencils...

I still love it! I was intending to do a shadow below him, but haven't gotten around to it. Still makes me happy, though.

little angel

Just a sweet little angel. Pencil drawing from '08, I believe. I like it a lot but haven't done anything with her. Maybe I'll redo this one sometime.

Dragons

Another sketch done with pen. My friend's son asked me if I drew any dragons and I hadn't yet, so I got busy and drew one. Done in '07.
I colored it this year in photoshop. It was a simple, easy process and I love the result! The lineart is below.
