A Feisty Mama Raccoon
Summer Drawing Challenge Day 4 Raccoons have been much on my mind lately, what with drawing the character of Renfrew for Spam and the Sasquatch, and discovering that the mysterious […]
Fiddling with Green
Summer Drawing Challenge Day 3 I’ve been experimenting with markers for a little while, gradually slipping down the proverbial slope. It started with three grey Prismacolor markers I got to […]
Informing the Muse
Summer Drawing Challenge Day 2 Do we need words? No, we do not. For more Iris the Art Muse comics, click her tab in the menu bar at the top. […]
Summer Drawing Challenge!
Gulp. I’m doing it again. Iris, my Art Muse, is going to have a fit when she hears about this. But I did warn her, way back when we completed […]
The End of the Challenge
It’s the last day of my Drawing-a-Day Challenge! I said I would draw something (and post it) every day for 30 days. The theory was that it would kick-start my […]
Quick-Draw! Sheriff Bill Platypus
Drawing-a-Day number 29 (one more to go!) I’d been drawing the graphic novel all day, and needed a change of pace. Tonight was the weekly gathering of several fellow comics […]
Intrepid Explorers
Drawing-a-Day number 28 Meet Miss Ophelia Bluefeather and Mister Cecil Ravensfield, the latest in my characters-from-doodles series. They are a famous pair of scientist-adventurers, known for their daring exploits on […]
Still Life With Muse
Drawing-a-Day 26 Iris is being cooperative. Or maybe she can’t believe I could be so weird.
Dancing Muse
Drawing-a-Day 25 Iris the Art Muse has been working very hard of late. So tonight I invited her to come along to a contra dance. I play flutes and pennywhistle […]
White Wolf Woes
Drawing-a-Day 24 You know how some days, no matter what you do, you just can’t do your best? That’s how I’m feeling today. This should have been an easy little […]
A Golden (Retriever) Opportunity
Drawing-a-Day 23 I haven’t had a dog friend of my own for many years (my cat Mak likes being an only child) but every now and then I encounter one […]
Miss Penelope Chi-Wawa
Drawing-a-Day 22: Meet Miss Penelope, a lady of impeccable breeding and good taste. She may look demure and delicate, but she has nerves of steel when in a pinch. She’s […]
Dinosaur, Digitally Drawn
Drawing-a-Day number 21 — three weeks! A toy Triceratops, abandoned in a parking lot, gained a new life on my shelf of animal models. I have a collection of realistic […]
The Muse Never Sleeps
Drawing-a-Day number 19 Iris the Art Muse is back. Well, really she never left. Now she’s thinking she might want her own zine. What do you think?
Technique-of-the-Week — Coloured Pencil Flower
Also, this is Drawing-a-Day number 18! A double-duty drawing! A few weeks ago, I had a request from Ilex of Midwestern Plants (check out her wonderful blog here!) for a tutorial […]
An Irate Mama Eagle
Drawing-of-the-Day 16! Blog post number 50! Whoo-hoo! In the graphic novel I’m working on with writer Elizabeth Ann Scarborough, there is a lady eagle who is quite irate, and telling Spam […]
Drawing-a-Day 15 — Birthday Card
My pencils and pens have been flying today — I’ve begun work on the pencils for the graphic novel, so I actually did a lot of drawings today, but I’m […]
Drawing-a-Day — Fortnight!
Today’s sketch marks two whole weeks I have been doing this. Sometimes I’ve only gotten a sketch in before midnight by the skin of my teeth, but I’ve done it, […]
When a Drawing-a-Day Becomes Four Little Paintings
Today I taught my introduction to Watercolour Techniques class. I love beginner’s classes — it’s like getting to show your beloved city off to someone who’s never been there. And […]
Catching up on the Drawing-a-Day thing
It’s been a crazy-busy couple of days, and as I mentioned yesterday, I was away from the internet and didn’t have an opportunity to post yesterday’s sketch. So here it […]
Digital Dragon Delight — Drawing-a-Day 9
I can’t help it, I just like alliteration. Really, this is more of a painting today, but that starts with a P. Yesterday I posted the beginnings of a dragon […]
Drawing-a-Day 8
Sometimes an artist has to take some time to do other things in life. For some reason, housecleaning, social obligations, the procuring of supplies, unexpected phone calls, and spur-of-the-moment expeditions […]
Drawing-a-Day 7 — building on a gesture sketch
I didn’t forget my drawing of the day, but it’s been a very busy day, so I decided to go with the theme of this evening’s main post and build […]
