purple

I can't get enough of purple/lavender/lilac hues it seems to be slipping slowing into my work. Also noticed I tend to create a lot during full moons...interesting.

Sirens & nymphs

Late night illustrations. Sleepy creations are always interesting

New groove.

Ohkay I fail at taking photos of my work and posting it BUT you will more work weekly because I'm attempting to do this thing called "sketch a day" but it won't be limited to just sketches, I'll be working on illustrations and paintings etc. wow what a large run on. ALSO I'm planning on becoming a tattoo oartist so I'll eventually be taking proper photos of my work for prints to place into a portfolio. Feel good to be motivated.

Here are a few things I've worked (some are still in progress).

Bird of prey.

3 of my favourite things: the moon, the ocean, and mermaids ( I swear I was a mermaid in a past life check out my long blog about the ocean here http://gabdez.blogspot.ca/2012/07/first-love.html)

Inspired by all things eerie, the eyes of Halloween spirit: Vampira, Dracula, & Frankentein

Inspired by a photograph: Skull & butterfly. I find the juxtaposition of life and death too be so beautiful. Something so innocent and pure paired with something society deems to be hideous.

Warm up sketches of random things: pyramids, buck, rose bud, tentacles & hands.

Forcing myself to practice my symmetry and it's a pain in the rear. Still have quite a bit of work to do on this...

just a quick sketch of a face before bed. I love drawing eyes.

practicing painting from what I solely see not what I've been taught how to view things. Painting a photograph of a girl upside down...it'll be a surprise when I turn it the proper way.

Sketches from 2011

Here are some random doodles and sketches from 2011. Not the best but this blog is to help me develop my skill and practice. Also simply ignore the poor quality of the images they were taken with my phone.

Mediums include: pencil, graphite, charcoal and sharpee

an altered mirand kerr
