Illustrations
Recreating Photos.
Using photos as inspiration and turning them into cute/funny images is something I love to do both for commission and as a gift for my family and friends.
Examples-
A gift for my father. This is a drawing of our first dance from my wedding.
A funny recreation of a photo of my friend dancing at my wedding.
(I had a Halloween themed wedding which should hopefully explain the black dress and Jason mask!)
Characters
Example Descriptions-
Top left- A character I drew based on a good friend of mine and the two cats that she owns.
Top right- Version two of the original drawing mentioned above. One of my friend’s cats is blind. I thought it would be fun to make the drawing futuristic and give him a robotic eye.
Bottom left- A portrait of a women. I really enjoy drawing animals or using my friends as references for characters. This drawing was my attempt at drawing something without using any clear inspiration or reference.
Bottom middle- A line work sketch of a women in a dress.
Bottom right- A women cheering or jumping. I wanted to work on some fun poses and movement within my illustrations.
Characters-
Animals
Examples-
A pigeon wearing a shirt. This was a part of a larger image I drew, but later updated/changed this pigeon into 2 different styles of drawing.
Honey badger drinking honey out of the jar. This is from a series of drawings I am currently working on for a local honey company.
Cowboy Snake! Not much else to say about this one, but he is cute!
& 5. Otters on a toilet. These were done for a friend’s husband whos nickname in the military was “toilet otter”. Not sure why, but it made for a fun drawing!
Animal Alliterations
When I don’t know what to draw and need some inspiration- I’ve begun drawing alliterations of animals with various weapons. It is a surprisingly fun drawing prompt if you find yourself stuck or lacking inspiration.
Some examples:
RPG Rat
Flailing Fish (a personal favorite)
Otter with an Uzi (An unfortunate discovery post drawing revealed that Uzi does in fact start with a U.)
Machine Gun Mouse
Tattoos- Traditional Style
A commission for a newly wed couple.
The bride and the groom told me their love story and I converted it into traditional style tattoos.
Some examples:
A letter for all of the letters the bride sent to the groom while he was deployed
A horse shoe to represent the brides family who are involved in horse racing and every member wears a horseshoe bracelet.
