Critmas 1 & 2

I jumped right in with Day 1 and Day 2:

Day 1: Icy Jack

Day 2: Shelf Goblin


I included both the initial drawings, and then the colored versions.

Inktober 2019 Wrap Up

I participated in this year's Inktober again. And while I was very strong out of the gate, I limped toward the finish line, but didn't cross.


I managed to produce the first 13 days in a row (though I combined 8-10 into one drawing); and then I threw together 21, 22, and 27. Hey, that's still sixteen days! More than last year. All are posted on my Instagram, but you can find most of them below as well.

I'll add the photos sometime soon.

Crazy from the Heat

It was 95 degrees outside today, so I took my Starbucks cup and did a 'heat wave' alteration.

Some days a girl just wants to have a cold drink while standing in the water with a wet head and arm floaties...

'Aquarium' setting.

'Macro' setting (for detail)

'Indoor' setting washes out the colors.

Skull Mask

I had both Sunday and today off, so I did some drawing. I was going to draw a skeleton, but it turned into a skull-masked wizard, bending a demon to his will.

Beer Robot Part 2

The finished drawing, with colored pencils, gold ink, and the Prismas.

Beer Robot

I felt like drawing, so I did. These are the first two stages of Beer Robot (final colors added later). His arms, legs and torso can change length at will, in order to maximize beer-serving capacity...

Midnight Mini

I felt like drawing late last night, but had no concrete ideas, so I opened "642 Tiny Things to Draw" and scribbled out this:

Coffee Cup Art

Following in the footsteps of two previous cups back in March, today I modified the Starbucks Mermaid yet again. As is my custom, I used several different filters on my digital camera to bring out the colors:




Also, I thought I'd throw in the two previous ones, just for the heck of it:

1st one ever 03/01/2019

Done only with tools available at work on my lunch break, for International Womens Day

St. Patrick's Day

I had to work, but I managed to scribble out a drawing with the tools at hand in the office (Sharpies, dry-erase markers, ball point pen, index card, etc...):

DDD 19-21

I spent all day yesterday drawing a 3-day combination (because they were all fire-based creatures) of #DungeonDrawingDudes prompts:
  • Day 19: Flame Harpy Rookery
  • Day 20: Azer (fire dwarf)
  • Day 21: Fire Giant
I include shots of initial pencils, and then various stages of progression, because I am often unhappy with the finished colored version...

DDD 10 and 12 and 15

I had today off so I caught up with three days of Dungeon Drawing Dudes.

Day 10: Fungi Beast



Day 12 and 15: Elven Potion Maker and Green Hag

DDD 6

Since I am working so much, I am going to skip ahead (when I fall behind) to the prompts that inspire me most.

Today at work I drew Day 6: Glirvin's Prized Mounted Fish using available tools: an envelope, ballpoint pen, and sharpies.

DDD 3

I finally had a chance to draw one of the challenges at home, with decent materials.

Day 3: Gnome Style Buffet

Gnomes are simple and filthy creatures, so their buffet spread at The Inn consists of only two dishes: lukewarm froggy stew and spicy ant whipped potatoes. Plus grubby fingerprints everywhere, and copious amounts of stray beard hair...

DDD 1 and 2

I work six day weeks now. So I drew the first two days of the Dungeon Drawing Dudes challenge at work, with the available tools:

Day 1: Dwarven Blacksmith

Day 2: Bathroom Key

The bathroom key of the inn has a "Charm of Returning" embedded into it, which is activated the moment the key opens the outhouse lock, causing the key to zip magically through the air and back onto its hook at the main bar.
