Enjoyed making this ATC for a trading partner I got acquainted with on my art trading site. Turns out we are both Tom Hiddleston fans, so she requested a drawing of him as Loki from Marvel’s Thor series and I was happy to oblige. I’ve never had much luck drawing Mr. Hiddleston, but this timeContinue reading “Fangirl Friday: Loki”

ATC: Turtle Portrait
I needed to draw a turtle artist trading card for a trading partner last week. I looked through some pictures I had taken at the zoo and came up with this guy. I like the expression on this face. What a grumpagus, if that’s a word. If not I’ve just made it one. I’m planningContinue reading “ATC: Turtle Portrait”
Crows, Crows, Crows
I’ve been enjoying our neighborhood crows lately. They are all out and about teaching their youngs ones to be afraid of humans and hunt for their own food. Once we noticed some crows on the ground and one was obviously just a youngster, but close to the same size as the parent. He was makingContinue reading “Crows, Crows, Crows”
Resolutions? Phooey!
I was thinking about my art goals for 2009. After wracking my poor little brain for a while I decided to just skip it. I mean, I’ll just end up doing what I feel like doing. Last year I only had three goals and I completely disregarded two of them. I still did a lotContinue reading “Resolutions? Phooey!”
Everyday Matters Challenge #34: Fall Leaf
It’s been so long since I’ve done one of these Everyday Matters challenges. I really miss them. I have been up to my ears in artist card trading (my own fault) and I haven’t had much time to draw for myself. I had to ask myself, when was the last time I sat down withContinue reading “Everyday Matters Challenge #34: Fall Leaf”
Ink and Watercolor Wash: Western Tanager
My ink and watercolor exercises continue. I made this artist trading card for a partner who liked birds. I’ve not drawn very many birds, but I’m starting to really enjoy it.
ATCs on Request: Black Panther
I’ve been feeling rather stunned for the past few days. I’ll blame it on all the financial turbulence. I’m having trouble writing, but since this is a drawing blog, why don’t I just post a drawing? I’ve not been drawing much this week, so I’ll just post one of the cards I made not longContinue reading “ATCs on Request: Black Panther”
ATCs: Attempts at Whimsy
(Click on the thumbnails for larger picture) I thought I would try to stretch myself and try my hand at something a little more inventive. I signed up for a swap called Colorful Funky Whimsy People over at atcsforall.com. I really had a hard time with it. I sat down and realized how rusty myContinue reading “ATCs: Attempts at Whimsy”
ATCs: In the Style of Rossetti
I participated in another Art 101 swap on Illustratedatcs.com. October’s featured artist was Dante Gabriel Rossetti. I’ve always enjoyed the Pre-Raphaelites, so I thought I would try my hand at making a few cards. As you can see, I had mixed success. On a side note, I just found out that a couple of myContinue reading “ATCs: In the Style of Rossetti”
In the Style of Modigliani – Portrait Atcs
I just joined IllustratedAtcs.com and signed up for my first card swap over there. We were to make cards based on the work of Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920). I’ve always liked Modigliani, so it was fun to make these cards. I managed to squeeze a self-portrait in. I’m the one with the glasses. Michael makes anContinue reading “In the Style of Modigliani – Portrait Atcs”
