Kittys Drawings

Hello everyone

Today I have another quick creation for you. I thought it was about time I contributed something original to Art Jumble. It’s been a while since I posted anything there and I certainly haven’t come up with something new until now. Yoshi is definitely one of my favourite characters from the Mario crew. He’s just so cute! I love the noises he makes and it’s not uncommon to for me to start crying “bee pow” whenever the mood strikes me. Heh. So immature. LOL. I also love his little “Hnnnnnnnnnnnnn” he does when trying to jump higher than normal.

Gosh I am such a nerd.

Anyways, this barely took 20mins. I was drinking wine at the time and since my tummy is not very full and I am the world’s biggest lightweight, I am currently a little bit tipsy. Oh dear.
Also, still loving the new technique. Me thinks I will stick with it for a while.

On video games, I also have my fortnightly game review up on Cult-of-Pop. This time I’ve reviewed Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney.

This weekend has been rather quiet. I received two vintage skirts in the mail from Etsy which I LOVE. Can’t wait til spring! And also picked up my Taste of Melbourne tickets. Is anyone going?? I can’t wait!

A post on a fellow Voguette’s blog, Le Blog de Sushi a little while back had some gorgeous images of that chick from Twilight – you know, the cute pixie-like vampire? (terrible terrible movie by the way)….

Anyway, I think she has a beautiful profile and I loved one of the photos. Really nice lighting too. Which I have sketched here Cos I was feeling guilty for not posting in a few days. Does anyone else feel bad for not posting as often as they would like? Compound this with the fact I need to DRAW too and if it’s not kept up, my skills start to wane. Tsk tsk.

So I’ve whipped this up in about 30mins. It’s not perfect by any stretch of the imagination…But I can tell you I am LOVING the new technique! I feel way more ‘free’ in my sketching on the computer. And so, I am quite happy with this…YAY I may be making progress with my skillz.

ALSO!! Big news! Award night time! NEXT WEEK I find out if I win $15K!! Woooo!!! LOTS more exclamation marks!!!!! !!! !!!!

BUT…I don’t know how I will go…..Eeep the nerves will start again! Tune in this time next week for the RESULTS!!

Hi!

Finally I am no longer an apprentice! Thought I better tell you all that. Pretty proud of myself. I’m finally qualified and stuff. Though it will be a little while yet before I get my actual piece of paper.

Anyway – The last couple of days have been pretty busy. I’ve been flat chat at work and when I come home I’ve been playing my DS (my latest review on Cult-of-Pop is Here) – got a bunch of new games which are all so fun I don’t know which to play first. Is anyone else as DS obsessed as I am?
So that is why I have been off the web for a few days – Haven’t even been reading my blogs! *gasp*

Today’s drawing I am much more happy with than the last one. I drew the sketch for this the same time I did the sketch for the last one. It used to have her entire figure in it but I liked the face more so I cropped it down into a portrait. Also tried some new techniques – this time instead of using my usual pastels only, I tried charcoal and coloured pencil. Not natural media of course, but the Corel Painter simulation of these I think these work really nicely together don’t you? The charcoal is soft and textured and the pencil is good for detailing. Will definitely be using them in future drawings

It’s almost the weekend! Yay! I think we shall be going to see Public Enemies, the new Johnny Depp flick this weekend. Can’t wait to see it – Mr Depp is possibly my favourite actor. I’m also a major fan of Robert Downey Jnr and his latest movie, Holmes should be out soonish…So many great films coming out! Eeeep! (can you tell I’m a movie buff?).
