In fact I want a lot of people’s faces.

As an artist I have these moments where I see a person, a random person, walking down the street, and I like their face, and I want to ask them if I can have a few photographs of it. Of course I never do because it would be very creeper like of me, but I still want to really bad. 

All the interesting faces reference photos I have are British actors (American actors all look the same), and even with them there isn’t enough variation in the female faces to make me happy.

I am a creeper.

I don’t know what’s gotten into me. I can’t seem to do anything but draw Tintin fan art.

Here we have Tintin and Snowy walking across a page.

Brushes from here, texture and paper from here.

Fiddling around in photoshop.

Arkive has references for animals you never knew you wanted to draw, like Leopard Seals.

When I make characters I like to start with one and then make it some foils, that way everyone is different and the conflict keeps going. And conflict is half the story, at least.

I am in love with this man. Too bad for me, he was probably gay (not that there’s anything wrong with that), and has been dead almost a hundred years.

His writing here. makes me love him more. Too bad the complete text of his book is almost impossible to get ahold of.

Also, I want to wear his coat.

My love is so unrequited :(

I have them!

Seriously, I’ve been waiting all semester for this.

Work has been crazy. I’ve been training new people, never getting out on time, having a sinus infection, and losing much of my voice. Now I am free for three days.

I am going to draw a lot.

:D

The Oscar Wilde caricature I drew for Humorous Illustration. 

Finals are over and I can stop the insanity. 

This is a terrible, terrible photo (taken with a webcam, no less), of my lovely caricature of Oscar Wilde. For some reason I didn’t hate this drawing when I got it back, I actually liked it better.

When I get home I’ll take a proper photo to post.

:)

I just got home from class and I have to draw tons of things in the next four days. I think I’ll put some here when I’m done with them. They will all be tea related, I’m making a tea website for my final project in my dreamweaver class. There will be a comic on making loose leaf tea. It’s going to be awesome—at least I hope so.

I am an art student at a community college, working as hard as I can to someday get a scholarship to go to a much larger art school.

I like books, cats, science, Edwardians, Victorians, tea, and comics.

I will probably talk about webcomics, books, art, doodles, awesome, science, clothing, weird, and Tintin (I am so excited for the movie) in the days to come.

Hi!
