sometimes the time consuming part of the art isn’t the subject. That’s definitely the case of the piece I’ve spent a good portion of thursday on.
As you can see the piles of skulls and bones have a depth that comes from two main color families with accompanying color palates. Each base color has two depth colors to add highlights and shadows and make each item pop.
Copic markers are made for this and really blend well with each addition.
these kitties are practicing the 6-2-1 rule that any good con goer should follow. For those that don’t know that’s 6hrs sleep, 2 meals, 1 shower. Btw, these are minimums and may be exceeded. 🙂
Happy labor day everyone. I’ll be celebrating by going to work and well that’s so not a good way to celebrate except, you know, money.

another Xmas card ready to go.
This guy is Copic marker, lined, and paint. It was difficult to make sure the different Browns wouldn’t blend together. The boxes are the copic set starting with E30 the antlers are the copic set starting E40 and the actual moose starts with copic marker E53.
This piece is pretty large for me. It’s on a 14×11″ piece of vellum paper that started out white. Each petal was colored in, individually, with 3 red color pencils and 3 cool grey pencils. I use prismacolor pencils. The flowers took me nearly a month and the the cat took me only a few hrs lol. It will be on Christmas cards this year and I look forward to knowing my art is bringing holiday cheer.
I’m pretty sure I’m gonna hear from someone how poinsettia are poisonous to kitties but I think this guys safe. 😉 don’t you.
A few days ago my husband asked me for a Chibi grim reaper. Here is the work up.
so, for some crazy reason, I decided to take the large sketch pad to work and forget my regular pencil. So alli had to draw with was a non photo blue. So this is a technique I don’t use often.
And because it’s a crap set of picks cause… Non photo blue pencil I took a min to do a tiny bit of pen work.
And because I’m nuts of filled in all the skeleton pile, it’s not done yet.
Supplies cannon 11×14 sketch paper, non photo blue pencil, copic liner, and the grey Kneeded eraser.
