Digital Drawing.

I've been busy working on my digital drawing/painting skills. Here is the latest!



It's a Kappa! I got all excited because I'm getting a cute Kappa Kigurumi(one piece animal pajamas) in the mail! A Kappa is a Japanese water sprite.

Drawing...

In order to get more used to the tablet and back to drawing in general after graduation '07. I kind of got lost after graduation and I've found myself back with illustrating. I really want to become better and it just takes a lot of work. I found a list online and tweaked it a bit. 30 days of drawings. I am just going to do mini exercises, like cute doodles for these to keep me drawing something everyday. I will start Aug. 1st! It's exciting ^_^

Sketch time!

Etsy and Digital drawing

I made a cute little hamster doodle in painter. I'm trying to sketch everyday digitally until I can really get some cute things going ^_^

My Etsy shop is back open! 
New items coming this week and new things in the works! I'm pretty excited!!!

Adventures in Pattern Drafting and Other Things

Yesterday I finished the back of the bodice. I was excited and started to cut my patterns out to test them. I realized that I drew the side a bit longer than it should have been. Because of that, the armhole is smaller than it should be as well!



I went ahead and cut the front out of fabric and I will need to remeasure and trim the back. I'm fine with messing up because I figured out what went wrong and how to fix it.

This morning we went for a walk and since we've spent all winter inside, I ended up straining my left foot. I haven't been able to work on my patterns because of this but instead I finished my crochet pouch I was working on.
It's a little tan hamster! I've been wanting to do different color hamster pouches, so here's the first one.




I also ended up making a logo for Scott in Illustrator for the new Amazon.com seller account. Our new seller name is Electric Lime Gaming.


Overall I guess today was productive even with a sore foot and more lounging than working! I am learning to love my blog! I haven't really ever been into blogging like I am now. You know what that means? New layout coming soon! My blog will finally look like a real, professional blog!

Wacom Sketch

Wow I haven't drawn in a long time...since I graduated in 2007. I'm not really counting my doodles and designs though. This was sketched using Painter and my Wacom tablet. I really want to start getting used to drawing with it. Scott bought it for me forever ago and I've only used it for a couple of projects. I've been so afraid to doodle with it. I need to get over my freak fear of digital drawing, it's kinda stupid since it's soooo forgiving!!! ^.^;
