Who's your daddy?

Take two with the Copic markers, this time with something more nerdy.
I managed not to get a big splotch of mistake on it this time and added a dab of Prismacolor for some darker darks and a smidge of Photoshop to blur to the background to finish it out.

Learning Curve

I got a set of Copic markers for Christmas and wanted to give them a try. I used a photo of a Kalamazoo woman from the 1880's I found at the Kalamazoo Valley Museum to give it a whirl. I sketched it out, I laid out some base tones, then totally messed up her eyes when I misjudged how much ink and how much of a wet on wet effect there would be.
Whoops.
I'll do better next time.

Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day!

I gave my three year old niece an easel for Christmas and drew Santa for her to help break it in.

Frosty Lives!

A pen and ink drawing as an example of radial symmetry for class. It's like a weird, veiny snowflake! Maybe that's what Frosty is made of and why he can live and breath...

Santa Claus is Watching You

Another Holiday themed whiteboard doodle.

I wanted to give the kids the impression that Santa was watching them, even if my back was turned to them, kind of like those cardboard cutouts of police cars.
