Finished House Drawing

Earlier this week I finished up that house sketch I had been working on. I like how it turned out, but as usual I’m not super fond of how it scanned… I tried several different ways to get a picture of this drawing. Oh well. I hope the recipient likes it. It is on it’s…

Drawing Peak

  Here is a little peak at one of the drawings I have been working on. I should have this one finished up tonight. I’m excited about our first ever yard sale today! Every year our neighborhood has a big yard sale and we’ve heard it’s a pretty popular event. We’ll see how it goes!

House Drawings

I am working on a couple of drawings right now. I showed a peak of the first one in this post, and the other one is a 5×7 house sketch. I’ve drawn quite a few houses at this point, which is kind of funny to me because it’s not something I ever thought I would…

Drawings

Great post title, right? It’s late. I’m tired. So I don’t think tonight could have gone much better. The house is clean(ish), I’ve got my lunch made for tomorrow, the kids went to bed 30 minutes early and I’m curled up in bed with a pencil and some paper working on a new drawing. This…

The Bleubird Family

Sometimes I see a photograph and I automatically think, ‘I need to draw that!’. That was definitely the case when I saw this beautiful family picture on the Bleubird Vintage blog. All of the photos from their wedding are beautiful, but this one of them all together is just so lovely. I just had to…

Small Changes

Remember this couple? I did my best to make the groom look a tiny bit less like his dad. I shortened his jacket some and trimmed/lightened his beard. I think it makes him look a little younger, but I don’t know. What do you think? I bought some new paper today and I’m really excited…

Drawing ~ A House for Alison

I’ve been working on a drawing these past couple of weeks. It’s taken me a little longer than I expected. I really should have known that it would, you’d think after 11 months I’d be used to this whole ‘two kids’ thing. (Speaking of 11 months, I’ll be back later today with some cute pictures!)…

{Drawings} Sosa

When I do drawing commissions, my favorite parts to work on are the eyes and the hair. And dogs are fun to draw because they are mostly hair! This 5×7 drawing will be heading to Washington DC. I decided recently that I need to draw more often. So I bought myself a nice big sketch…

Custom Artwork

Daddy’s Girl

While waiting for a few things to get moving along around here, I decided to do a quick drawing for ME. (What?! Two drawings for me in one year? That’s crazy talk!) I just love this photo of Shaun and Juniper. The drawing looks much better in person. One of these days I’m going to…

A Drawing to Keep

I’ve decided that when we have a house, instead of hanging photographs in our living room, I’m going to start a collection of family portraits done by various artists. How much fun will that be? It will be our own little art gallery ? It is so hard to photograph pencil… I’m not 100% satisfied…
