Just An Extra Update

Love Is All We Need


   Hey there!! Not sure if anyone is going to read this, but I wanted to add my other drawing that I had been working on for some time. It is now finally finished! I have to say I had lots of fun with it!  The second drawing is my first dragon I have made in a year. This one was from a lesson by Rod Thornton who draws for Marvel and DC Comics I believe. He is super talented and I am in over my head when taking his classes, but I will keep practicing so I can get better.  You can learn more here.



  



    I guess that is all for now. Just wanted to share some more art. I love it. It helps me dream and it takes me away from stuff while I work on it.

Valentine's Day Fun!!

    Happy Valentine's Day!!


I have been a very busy bunny and have made up some little drawings over the past month just for today. First I wanted to share a virtual valentine match up over on (insert website). What you had to do was sign up on the forum and you post pictures of the gifts you got them without spending real money or buying cards. I got my sweet friend Alena!!

   Alena is a really great gal over in Germany! She is so kind and has knitted me some wonderful things for my son over the years. Getting a gift from her is always fun! Not to mention she sent over the last time a bag of real gummy bears!!  (not the sugar free ones!! She likes me!!)  Alena is also a fan of squirrels and yarn. Everything yarn!!  I see her as one of those secret agent knitter bombers that go out in the middle of the night and knits a cozy for the mail box or even your car!!  So I decided to draw her a picture of some of the things she loves.

Happy Valentine's Day Alena!!




    Also here is the drawing I have been working on for a while. It was such fun to draw!! Okay, I totally lied!!  The one I have been working on is not finished! I am hoping to get it done tomorrow. I was sidetracked by drawing this one thanks to Dragoart's website!!




A Pinky Pie Valentine!!

    This is not a perfect Pinkie Pie, but I am happy with it and hope to continue to draw better as time goes by!! 
    I will add the new one when I get it done.  Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!! 


    Oh before I forget, I have some totally awesome people I would like to say hi to. One is my son, doubtful he will ever see this but he is wonderful. I had a mini meltdown today as a result of at least two weeks of pain being at about 8.5 and a bit higher.  New places my lipedma has found a spot to hang out and aggravate those areas. He sees me at my worst...and crankiest, but still gives me hugs and tries not to get angry over it. I really do appreciate everything he has done and helps me with. His support means the world.

    I also have some really incredible and wonderful friends! They are cheerleaders, support people and just plain fun. I love you all and hope you will each be my valentine!!



Love and tons of bunny hugs,

Diva's #149 Challenge!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!

     Over on The Diva's blog http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/ she has a 2014 challenge going on and I had the time to finally join!! This is the second challenge I have done so I wanted to have some fun. The rules were that you to have 2014 somewhere in the drawing with Zentangles. So I did that and Pixieyfied it!!  The scanned colors made it a bit wonky, but it was done in a rush so I could have this in on time.


     I hope everyone is doing well. I really need to post here in my blog more often. I have been putting up my photos on my Facebook page.  I have been doing a lot of drawing. I started my Christmas cards back in November and I think everyone that I was able to send to enjoyed them.  I also was asked to do a commission for some very good friends of mine that has me a bit scared! LOL It is a challenge for me but I am pretty sure I can make it turn out nice. Also another friend of mine is interested in me drawing up some Christmas cards for later this year which is really exciting!! Any money I make off of these goes right back into the art fund!! 

     Anyone who knows me, knows that drawing has saved my life. It helps me engage my pea brain with colors and possibilities. I often want to hug my colored pencils and paper because they make me happy. With my chronic pain disorder getting worse the meditative techniques I have picked up from other people's blogs and books have helped me work through and deal with things when they are too hard to bear.  My friends also help me plug along. So this year my plan (not resolution) like last year is to draw more, and share with the world my love for color.

     Oh the picture above, it has about 30-35 colors in it. Can you spot them all?  Have a great day!!
