Day 39: The Final Dumpty (and a Bunny)

I decided to go back and try to colour Mr. Dumpty one last time. I like this the best out of the other ones I worked on. I do like working in traditional mediums, but I kept trying to hit the undo button when I did something wrong. The real life undo button needs some work. Here is what I came up with:

Here is all the images put together so you can compare them:

And last but not least is a bunny that I worked on today. 

He's a lot different than what I usually work on. I might try some more drawings like this in the future.

Day 37: Dumpty Dumpty Dumpty

Well I had a little trouble with one of these. Yesterday I decided to do an acrylic painting. Usually acrylics are my thing, but not this time!  I took a break last night. I was really tired and sore. Of course I was more tired and sore when I got up (stupid wisdom teeth removal). All it took was a slight bump from my husband (he really barely touched me) and it was in pieces. All the kings horses, no?

This second one was a bit better. I used watercolour paper so it made the coloured pencils a bit more difficult. I think I've just about filled my weekly quota of Dumpties, but who knows for sure (he's not comming out my ears yet).

Day 36: Every Little Bit Helps

I don't have much money myself, but for these things every little bit helps. I'm very squeamish about putting links on my blog that ask people for money. None of the money gathered here goes into my pocket, and if you just want to post a link on your blog that's good too!  

I'll have artwork later, but I wanted to post this before I forgot about it.

Quick Edit-- Here is a blog that has tons of ways you help out Haiti:

Day 35.5: Digital Pastel Dumpty

As an experiment I wanted to see how Dumpty would look as a digital pastel. I wish I could have started this earlier today, but I had my wisdom teeth pulled and slept most of the day. I'm not sure what I'm going to do tomorrow, but it may be the same drawing painted in a different medium.

Day 34.5: The Humpty Dumpty Doll

So here is my little Humpty Dumpty doll. I wanted to do something in watercolour/coloured pencils. It's nice to take a break from a broken computer every now and again. Watercolour isn't really my thing yet, but I'm liking it the more I use it.

Day 32: I Did Not Wait Until the Last Minute

I did not wait until the last minute to work on this sketch, but it wasn't until a few minutes ago that I remembered I hadn't posted it! These are just some ideas I had for creating a book about Humpty Dumpty. These are only sketches to give me an idea of where I want to go. Usually I'm not set on one thing, but the original idea I had in my head and the idea I put on paper are pretty similar. The one in the lower left is the direction I plan on going with this drawing. 

Day 31 Already?

I'm not sure what happened, but I've completely lost track of time. I have been sick lately, but I just realized that I haven't posted sketches for 2 weeks now. I have been working on drawings, though and wanted to share:

From this point on my sketches will be slightly different, and hopefully posted more often.
