Painted Love

And the second one inspired by Eli... everywhere I look at the moment its reminders of valentines day! I felt at Eli's age, whilst being all girlie it would still be bordering 'bover'd' side of things when it came to Valentines! The character is still progressing and there's plenty of ground work to do when it comes to perfecting the different mediums used, I seem to be having a problem with blues bleeding all over the show!!! But practise hopefully makes perfection. One thing I will say though is, the character is great as the inspiration is with me 24/7, and believe me she really is a character. Drawing in the clothes is almost like dress up, lol and from Eli's vivid imagination I really don't think there's nothing we cant do or conquer on paper!!!!....

Flying High

I told you I wasn't good at the technical side of things!!!! Ive submitted this old sketch to IF - Swarm. Not sure Ive done it correctly but hey!

Inspired by my E is for Eli sketchbook, the character seems to be cropping up all over the place at the moment! Eli had some natty little outfits for Christmas and these somehow have inspired her character further.... How? I don't quite know yet! Anyway, this one came about on a cold dismal day over the holiday period. Struck down with Flu, wrapped up, and going slightly stir crazy, I needed something to brighten my day..... and here it is.

Apologies

Yes I know, I haven't blogged for some time now.... Its not that I haven't been sketching away! Well not as much as I'd hope to have done. The whole family were hit quite badly over the Xmas period with the Flu virus, and what with one thing and another before I knew it my page stood blank. Fully recovered though I have managed to do a couple of pieces.... more to follow I promise.
