The Doctor...the cosmic 9 year old. the oncoming puppy.

Hey!

Sketch dump today! I am obsessed with Doctor Who! I can't help that they are all so much fun to draw! Vintage photos are fun to draw too. We are going to the cottage this weekend and I am printing a lot of pictures out, so I will come back with lots of sketches hopefully! Maybe some watercolours too, but I have to go buy some more first!

I am going to take pictures of my new mural on thursday and will (hopefully) upload them thursday night before we leave. We shall see!

Enjoy the sketches!

Hello!

Welp, random post is random! I had a bunch of pieces that didn't fit anywhere so they all end up in here!

The top and bottom pieces are for a 30 Day Art Challenge I am currently working through. The challenge keeps me busy through the summer.

I got a call from the University today and I can finally start the mural!! So on Wednesday I again cease to have a life! I am glad to get started on it though! Can't wait! I should make up a business card for while I am there!

Josh Groban Concert tomorrow! Sooooo excited!!

I hope you like this random post!

Portraits

Hello all!

School is finally done for the summer! Hopefully I will get around to uploading more!

These are 2 pencil portraits I did for my Illustration class. I am pretty happy with both of them! I hope you like them!

Well its been a while hasn't it. School has taken over my life!
This is a sketching project I did a little while ago for school. I got a 9.5 on it.
The school semester is almost over! It ends this friday, so one more project and a couple tests to get through and then I am DONE my first semester! .....only 2 and a half years to go! O_O seems like such a long time!
If you haven't seen the movie Tangled yet go see it! I saw it twice and am completely obsessed...at least until I see Voyage of the Dawn Treader! I drew a picture of the guy (Flynn) in Tangled, so I will hopefully update it soon! I want to punch out a couple other tangled sketches first though! anywho, hope you like the cat skull!

Hey!
This is my 50th post on this blog!
This is a sketch I did of Audrey Hepburn. I loooove this actress! She is so amazing! You should go get all of her movies! Some of my favorites are Funny Face (with fred astaire!!), Breakfast at Tiffanies, and Roman Holiday. I highly recommend them! The picture above is from breakfast at tiffanies. Again, sorry about the glare, I better start scanning my pictures! I hope you like my sketch!

Hey!
This is another sketch for my end of year portfolio! This one was a lot of fun to draw, especially his breath. It was hard to get the wolf to have volume and not just be a flat blob. I think he turned out pretty good though! Hope you like!
school is so crazy right now, its getting to the end of the year so I am getting some larger projects. :S
I went to see megamind on Tuesday! If you haven't seen it go see it!!! Its awesome and sooo funny! You have to see it! It's also completely clean, which is weird for a movie nowadays! Let me know if you see it and tell me what you think in the comments!

~Wrinkles~

hey! yes I know I need to update more!
Today is another sketch. This one is for my end of school portfolio for my illustration class. This is a Rhino, I took a photo of it at the zoo and decided to sketch it for a challenge to myself! Click to see the larger version, I put lots of effort into those wrinkles! Doing his nose was a lot of fun, I don't know what it is with me and animal noses. I love drawing then, but not people noses, they are difficult to draw!
I should start putting up different projects, before everybody starts thinking all I do is sketch at school!
I hope you like the rhino!

Sketch!

Hey everyone!

I have to start catching up on all the stuff I have to upload!

These are some sketches I have done over the past year. Sorry about the poor pictures, I should probably start scanning them instead of taking a photo with some of these! Anyway, they are all pretty self explanatory. The middle one I was trying for a more abstract feel, and I really like how it turned out! The top and bottom one are more photorealistic. I hope you like them! Leave me a comment telling me your favorite!

Hey!
This is the second dinosuar that I did for school. This one I actually had to hand in. I got a 9.5 on! So far I think Illustration is my favorite class, I get my highest marks and the professer is awesome! This dinosuar was really hard, he took me about three tries! But he turned out good in the end, so I am happy!
I am so behind in updating!! I have a whole ton of stuff to put on here, lots of sketches and some photos. So hopefully I will start catching up with all that, so stay tuned AND DONT CHANGE THAT CHANNEL!

These Boots...

yaaaay I finally got my boot back! This is a sketch I did for school. I got a ten out of ten on it, so my professer (who is awesomeness itself in my opinion) wanted to get a scan of it to use as an example for future first years! So I am pretty happy, and I think my mom is happier!

I have a ton of stuff I need to post on this blog but no time to update! I got another sketch back today, another (better) dinosaur I did! So I will hopefully upload it soon! Talk to you then!

Lydia

PS What do you think of me getting a professional email to post on this site so I could get requests? Let me know in the comments!

Dinomite!

Thats my bad pun for the day :) give me a break I was up late! I'll stop now.

I thought you all might be sick of flowers right now, so I'll shake it up a bit! This is a sketch I did in class this past week. It is a very fun technique to use! We used sandpaper and filed alot of pencil lead onto the page, then used a tissue to blur it all to get that neutral grey colour. Then we use our erasers to pull out highlights, and draw in the shadows! It's alot of fun, I love doing it!

I took alot of pictures of sketches so expect to see alot coming up! Along with more flowers! haha you thought you were done ;)

Volumetric Sketchiness

Hey there strangers!

Long time no update, blame my professers for giving me homework! I've been really busy with school and personal free time doing absolutley nothing! Also busy painting for an upcoming art contest! So excited! fingers crossed that I win!

The above drawing is a project I did for school. Its called Volumetric drawing, using lines to give the illusion of shape and volume. I got the marks for it today and got a 9.5 out of 10! yay! I was happy! Hopefully I can keep up the good marks. I handed in another project yesterday for that class, I will upload it when I get it back! Hopefully I will update more!
