Favourite music Friday


I'm in need of some inspiration. I'm a little bit stuck at the moment. Hopefully a bit of lovely music helps!

One of my favourite heart breaking music videos and band (Unfortunately they broke up a little while ago). Beautifully put together and such a nice style. I've been searching for the artist but haven't had any luck. Anybody happen know who created this?

Anyway, off to make some playdough and to draw.

Hope you have a reallly, really, really smashing Friday night.

Ghost


"Ghost"

Watercolour and pencil.

I created this a little while ago. I've been asked a couple of times if this is finished. It feels finished to me, perhaps some shading would make it better? I wanted to keep it quite 'flat'.

I'm actually quite content with it!

Home

Hello unloved blog,

So....I've been super slack with my drawing and it's time to change that! I'm feeling very guilty.

My cousin is starting up a vintage family online boutique and has asked me to do some characters for her. I'm struggling with scanning (as always) buit I'm finally getting the ball rolling and hopefully I keep it up.

I did this a couple of weeks ago. My lovely friend kathy bought me some water colour pencils. I love their vibrant colour.

Illustrations Friday:Shades



This is my third submission for Illustration Friday. I seem to like to draw my dog Hamish a lot. Probably because he sits next to me under the table. He's also pretty rad. I tried to put a st. Patricks hat on him today but he didn't like that much.

Still struggling with scanning quality! The dots are paint samples that I stole and cut up. Just thought I'd experiment a little.

Hope you're having a swell day and thanks for looking!

Brigid :)

Character Illustrations








Heavily influenced by Disney obviously.
I don't like how they came out. I think I need to be more careful with balance and composition. The scanning quality is also horrible. I also dislike the added text. However, I do like the borders which I think I'll continue playing around with.

They were pretty fun to draw! The brought back many childhood memories. I was pretty fond of The Little Mermaid (and still am- I found an old video at an op shop for 20 cents...Score!)

Who was your favourite Disney character?

Mean cat

My cat, Tina gives me mean looks all the time. I imagine this is what she's trying to tell me.
