Me when I realized how long it’s been since I’ve updated anything. 

Character sketches for Grimm’s The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage (re-imagined as sisters)

Whole fairy tale below the break for those who have missed out

WwwwRAAAAAHhhhhhhhhhh (January 18th)

January 17th. Bought the PERFECT apple. Cameron drew it today so obviously I had to.

January 16th... Watched Castaway and drank wine and forgot what day it was and then fell fast asleep

January 15th. Driver in front of me was all over the road on my way to work. Then they went right into oncoming traffic.

January 13th, I missed doing mandalas so here we are. They're so relaxing and I think I might even expand it later.

Aaaaand January 11th, another busy day. Worked all day and my feet are killing me. My sketchbook was way too far so I figured a post-it will do. I mean I make the rules of this challenge right??

*edit* apparently I was so tired I forgot what day it was. Not to mention that cameron told me confidently that it was the 11th. So this is the drawing from JANUARY 12TH.

January 11th. Was out late and didn’t have time to post it before bed. Had a drink or two then drew this while standing up which did not help.

January 10th. Finished yesterdays drawing from a different part of my room. After stumbling through the dresser I finally got the rest to make sense kind of??

January 9th. I had to FORCE myself to draw in that last few minutes of the day and you know what I like that. I like that I did it. I had a busy day, really didn't feel like it, but there it is. Huzzah.

January 8th. Pretty happy with how this turned out. Sometimes one little decision can change everything, especially with pen. I like not being able to erase, it forces me to move forward and think of a new solution.

January 7th. Got a candle for Christmas that came with these sweet matches. I lit it and decided to try drawing with the burnt match. It was harder than I thought and burnt down 80% of the match just to finish it.

January 6th. Got some neat new markers at this Japanese store in JFK airport (weird right?), so I wanted to give them a spin. The cats were very excited that we were home.

January 5th! Got 3/4 of the way through but then I was preparing to fly across the country, then I was flying across the country. So technically I finished it on the 6th… Shhh

January 4th 2015

Last night in Washington, went out for beers. Ordered a flight and I always love how different bars and breweries present them. This one had a section painted with chalkboard paint and they wrote the names on it.
