A Somber Day Indeed

Summer & Statues

Although these pictures were taken last year, on a vacation to Connecticut (these are pictures of two different kinds of statues in Kent, Connecticut), I thought that these were pretty interesting pictures.

This is of a statue that is near an art museum in Kent, I believe. I particularly like the blooming hydrangea in the background.

These were a stone's throw away from the previous statue. The stone wall behind these statuesque figures (ah, wordplay) was particularly interesting.

Just thought that they were good pictures to start off summer. Perhaps I might even draw versions of them in the near future.

Until then, keep a sharp eye out for my next post.

Domovoi Awareness Minute (or so)

 These pictures were done very quickly for a school project about raising awareness for Domovoi Preservation and such. The drawing itself (in the center) was drawn with waterproof ink and then painted in watercolor paint.

 This was drawn quickly with a pencil and then painted over with watercolor paint and then outlined again with a fine point pen.

 This was done with the same medium as the previous picture

This was drawn with waterproof ink and then I got a bit tired and finished it up with fine point pen.

More Up-to-date Draft

Here is the most current version of the commission that I have been set to do. As you can see, there are small changes, but the overall format of the picture has remained the same. This was done with black waterproof ink, drawn with a dip pen, the majority of this was painted with watercolors (save for the cameo which was done with a red permanent marker and black waterproof ink), the lettering (and the sort of S shaped decoration) inside the scroll was drawn in Sharpie pen (black, blue, and red), the coat that is hanging up behind the caricature of me was (as previously mentioned) drawn first with a dip pen and waterproof ink and then I used a paintbrush to fill it in with the same ink.
Right-o, that's it, for now. Hopefully you shall see this somewhere else here, soon. I shall post the link to such a page as soon as I am able. Thanks.
Keep a sharp eye out.

Bubo Scribbelus

 If you readers will remember, I had drawn the owl at the bottom of this post a good couple of months ago. I just thought, purely out of whim, to draw another version of that very same owl, just so I can keep you readers updated as to what's going on (although this owl isn't what you might call "current" considering that I drew it back in March). I just wanted to let you readers know that I shall post an actually new drawing up here in a couple of days. Hopefully, it will be the new drawing that I've been doing to correct my spelling mistakes that I did on the previous post (just see the blog post directly before this one and you shall see). Right-o, keep a sharp eye out.
This current owl was drawn with Sharpie pens of three different colors (blue, red, and black).

Rough Draft Commission

This picture is actually a rough draft of a commission that I have been asked to do for an art gallery's blog. The reason why this is a rough draft is because, if you look very closely, there is a series of spelling errors in the word "recommending" and "mentioning" (there is a vacant place where the first "n" should be in "recommending" and also in "mentioning" it's spelled as "mentiong"). Still working hastily to get a corrected version of this done, just thought I should keep you all posted.

Fun Times All Around

As you may have noticed, kind readers, that I have not posted anything in a good couple of weeks. I just thought that it might be handy to make one last post before March ends. I have been quite busy with a current commission and will be for a little while, so this set of scribbles is going to be kind of bare for a good long time. I will try to post something as often as possible and inform you readers of my current occupation sometime in the near future, but just thought you readers ought to know before I become too engrossed. Thanks.

Second Version of Advert

This was done with permanent marker, waterproof ink, and watercolor paint.

An Advert

HUZZAH! This is actually my first official commission. I was asked merely days ago to do a drawing for Re-max and this is the result. Sorry about the shoddy quality of this picture.

This was drawn with waterproof ink, painted with watercolor paint, and the net on the balloon was done with a fine-point pen (the balloon itself was colored with blue and red permanent marker).

I don't think that I could do justice to one of my more primal inspirations ever since I was a kid, but, although I drew this a bit quickly, I think that this fits, for obvious reasons....
