If you’re not into zombies look away now  

I’ve started a 30 Day Drawing Challenge on Instagram (I’m on all of day 4 lol) and this was from day 2. I kind of double dipped and combined the challenge for the day of “draw someone you like” with an art trade with @cavemankidd to zombify each other. 

I like zombies! It seemed perfect

I started off by a doing a quick sketch in Grey Copic Multiliner of @cavemankidd then adding in the zombie details. Then as a lark I gave it some shading with greys and red. 

It was a fun trade!

Its an interesting list of stuff too so if you follow me on instagram (@someoddgirl) you’ll see what I mean. You can also see the list there too if you’re interested.

Happy Monday!

Some sketches from late week. I’m still trying to force Spring by drawing and coloring spring things like cute baby animals. 

HURRY SPRING.

I like the sun.

Its much nicer than snow and dreariness.

Today I have a quicky sketch to share with you. 

I’ve been working on some sketches but lately with winter being so blah, I swear it never gets fully daylight around, I’ve been uninspired. Do artists admit that normally? 

What about you? Do you get the mid winter blues? What would inspire you?

I have a little sketch to share today! 

Not sure where the inspiration on this originated, but its was really fun and zen to work out all the hair loopys. I’m going to ink this and the color it with the stars illuminated, not sure beyond that.

What are you going to be working on this weekend? Anything crafty?

A drawing I worked on last week. For some reason the hair on this on just DIDN”T want to go on her noggin. Not sure what my issue was, it took longer than the rest of the image to get it so I was happy. 

Its weird how things work out.

This week there’s a few things going on… I’ll give you a hint… **coughdtcallcough** **coughreleasepeekscough**

phew. I hope I’m not getting sick 

What’s going on in your neck of the woods this week?

a new sketch! 

Last week I worked a LOT of things that weren’t remotely art related (SEO, ALT tags and Meta Data anyone?) but this one came bustin thru and HAD to be drawn. It was kinda funny in its own way. Like you know when you crave something and its the only thing you can think about until you have it? Then once you do you can go back, if you can remember what it was, to what you were doing prior totally satisfied… THAT.

Apply that here.

I still have more non-art related stuff on the agenda this week but I’ve got blocked in some time too so yay!

What’s on your agenda this week?

Kind of a quicky for today. This is a sketch I was working on, going for a princess curtsy kind of thing. 

I’m trying my damndest to get ahead ahead on digis and stamp designs so I have time to do all the other things too without any of it being rushed. What a freakin task I’ve set myself! But if its not tough, its not worth doing well! 

Remind me of that in about a month lol.

I have some scheduled draw time during the week and I like to take some pics as I go, usually on my instagram and these were 4 I did last week. I’m mildly obsessed with sitting poses right now… not very sure why. So you’ll be seeing quite a few during upcoming releases. 

Now I like to think of myself as a pretty organized person but when it came to inspiration or things that I would see and go “OOO this would make a great image idea!” be it an outfit, article of clothing, pose, or whatever I often would forget, unless I sat down and did it RIGHT THEN. Right and left brain argument? Probably.

But I finally found something that works for me and satisfies both

I got an app on my phone, not new by any means and I actually had it before and never used it until I realized one feature it had I hadn’t seen. Evernote! Have you used it? I *know* I’m late to the party here. But it has the Snapshot note that has totally made me want to make it part of the family! I can take a pic of whatever it is, where ever I am, and BAM it uploads and syncs it up and sorts it for me! I can pull it up later, when I can sit and draw, and not worry about forgetting. *the skies part and the sun shines in*  

I love love love it!

You all are probably like eh but I had to share! 

How do you keep all your odds and ends organized?

Not the greatest drawing ever but it took about 15 mintues so take it for the funny vs the artistic skillz.
